'We stayed the course': Western Mustangs dominate second half to win third straight Yates Cup game
For the first time in more than 20 years, an OUA school has won three straight Yates Cup titles.
Western outscored Laurier 21-0 in the second half of the 115th Yates Cup game at Western University’s Alumni Field in London, Ont. on Nov. 11, 2023.
The Mustangs were down 14-8 at the half, but controlled the line of scrimmage on both the offensive and defensive sides in the final half on route to a 29-14 win
“We stayed the course,” said Greg Marshall, head coach of the Mustangs said about behind down at half-time.
He added, “Look at how many really close games we played in this year, and we had to find ways to win every game. Today we found a different way to win it, we ran the football today. Credit to our offensive line and running backs.”
