CLARION, Pa. -- There's really no hope for a football team that commits 14 turnovers.

Coudersport committed 14 turnovers last night in a PIAA Class A semifinal game against WPIAL champion Duquesne, and, no, that's not a misprint. The Falcons lost nine fumbles and threw five interceptions.

Coupled all those mistakes with a 189-yard output from Duquesne running back Layton Dunn and it adds up to the Dukes cruising to a 33-2 victory against previously unbeaten Coudersport (13-1) at Clarion University.

The Dukes (14-0) won the game where none of the 35 points on the snow-covered field were scored on offense and there were 19 fumbles in all. Coudersport's only points came on a safety. The Dukes, who committed five turnovers, scored on three interception returns, a punt return and a fumble recovery in the end zone.

Duquesne advances to the PIAA Class A championship at 1 p.m. Friday at Hersheypark Stadium. They Dukes will play the winner of today's other semifinal between three-time defending champion Southern Columbia (11-2) and Steelton-Highspire (11-2).

The trip to the PIAA title game will be the first for the Dukes since 1993, when they defeated South Williamsport, 24-21, to claim the Class A crown when the championship game was played in Altoona.

The start of last night's contest was delayed 1 hour, 15 minutes. That was because Coudersport had trouble making it to Clarion. TheFalcons' bus had to trudge through a snowstorm and arrived at 6:45 for the 7 p.m. scheduled start.

"We'll take it," Duquesne coach Pat Monroe said. "It was tough and I was never part of anything like it where it was delayed like that and everything, but, we're excited that we're getting a chance to get to Hershey, we really are."

The famed prohibition agent-turned-author Eliot Ness died in the Potter County town of Coudersport, but last night Duquesne's Dunn was about the person who was untouchable.

As a result, Coudersport was sent packing. Dunn ran inside for much of the night, but also showed power on the edge, bulling down Coudersport would-be tacklers on his way to eclipsing the 2,000-yard mark on the year. Dunn is just the second Duquesne back to reach that milestone, joining Windell Brown, who did so in 2002.

"What can you say about him," Monroe said of Dunn. "He's gotten yards every way you can, every way imaginable."

Duquesne led, 14-0, after a first half with almost more quirkiness than you could imagine. Coudersport fumbled nine times and lost four of those. The Falcons also threw just two passes, and both of those were intercepted. Duquesne lost three turnovers in the first half and also committed seven penalties for 55 yards.

It didn't matter as Duquesne forced the action, or at least as much as a team can when an opponent has nine first-half fumbles.

The Dukes jumped to a 7-0 lead with 2:24 remaining in the first quarter when senior linebacker Chris McCall returned an interception 21 yards for a touchdown. On the play, Coudersport quarterback Brian Wetzel was hit by Duquesne's Trennon Neal as Wetzel cocked his arm to throw. The ball careened to McCall, who deftly kept his feet on the slippery turf and churned into the end zone.

Less than two minutes later, the lead was upped to 14-0 when Elijah Fields let a punt hit, but when he saw an opening and the rolling ball hadn't been downed by a Coudersport player, Fields picked it up and raced 71 yards for a touchdown.

While Duquesne led by two touchdowns at the half, the lead could have been more as the Dukes had one fumble on Coudersport's 1 and also had a turnover on downs at the Falcons' 5.

Coudersport scored its only points when Duquesne tailback Durrell Dunn was tackled in the end zone for a safety midway through third quarter.
