In a 38-14 road win over Saginaw Valley during the 50th annual Axe Bowl, Northwood University’s Cole Simpson intercepted a pair of passes, while sharing a team-high honor five tackles to go along with a tackle for loss. His game aided in the Timberwolves holding a 28-0 lead at halftime with a 317-72 edge in total yards at the break; thus, making this 24-point victory the second biggest for the Timberwolves in Axe Bowl history and the largest for them in road games.
