It's been a long minute, SJO outlasts Unity for Week 2 road win

TOLONO - St. Joseph-Ogden defensive back Garrett Denhart holds up the pigskin after recovering a fumble halting a Unity march down the field in the fourth quarter. With less than two and half minutes left in the game, the Spartans, nursing a three-point lead, successfully managed the game clock to on to win the regular season Illini Prairie Conference game over state ranked Rockets, 35-38. The last time SJO left Hicks Field with a win was after a postseason matchup on November 8, 2014.
