BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - In its last regular season home game, College of the Canyons was held to 25 yards rushing and allowed Bakersfield's Julian Dean-Johnson score three of its five touchdowns on the ground as the Bakersfield Renegades picked up a 41-14 win over the College of the Canyons football team at Memorial Stadium.
The Renegades scored on their first drive of the game, getting a 35-yard field goal from Josh Gallington in the first quarter.
After taking a 3-0 lead after the first quarter, Bakersfield added on 28 points in the second quarter, while holding the Cougars scoreless for the half.
Things got tougher for Canyons in the third quarter as COC couldn't get anything going offensively and could hardly move the ball out of its own territory.
College of the Canyons scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late and COC suffered the loss.
Quarterback Justin Arias was 17-of-36 for 194 yards and one touchdown, but he threw two interceptions. Linebacker Justin Cudworth led the defense with 11 stops, seven solo, a pass break up and one sack and linebacker Vincent Holder added two sacks for a loss of 18 yards and a forced fumble.
