On Oct. 23, the Oberlin College football team secured its first win of the season against Hiram College with a score of 31–28. The victory also marks the team’s first conference win. The Yeomen are no longer “Yeo and 7” but 1–7. Starting quarterback Chris Allen Jr. had a remarkable game and was named North Coast Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, and Head Coach Steve Opgenorth gained his first win since his arrival in Oberlin. The team plays again next Saturday, Nov. 6, against the DePauw University Tigers.
