COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University football team struggled to get their offense going in an eventual 44-7 loss at the hands of Baldwin Wallace University on Saturday afternoon at Bernlohr Stadium. 

The Comets now fall to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the OAC, while BW improves to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. 

The Yellow Jackets got on the board first with a first quarter touchdown and field goal to make it 10-0 after the first period.
