That play [and what transpired next] was definitely the turning point of the game. We're about to go in for a TD, with all the momentum going our way, and probably building what would be an insurmountable lead for RU's inept offense.  Instead of scoring, we have a fluke interception that bounces off of Kyle Foster's shoulder pad.
 
Then we stuff them inside the 5 yard line and force a punt.  All is not lost--because they have a short punt from the back of the end zone, our punt returner is inside their 50, and we're going to get the ball back in great field position.  But for some inexplicable reason, out coaches have the players try to block the punt [a terrible call given that game situation], and they commit a roughing the punter penalty which gives RU a first down.  They get the ball back, and dink and dunk their way down the field for an eventual TD that closes the lead we'd built and puts them back in the game.
 
That series of events was indicative of how that entire second half went for us.  Painful, because we were better than them, and we should have beat them for the third consecutive year in a row.
