Many of them were on second down (3-10). Overall our offense wasn’t that bad but our defense got handled. And again the kicking game was bad 13-18. Overall we were beaten 92-106 in plays. There weren’t a lot of big plays in this one. It was mostly long drives, (which is why the plays won and the points scored both point in the same direction). B. J. Daniels completed passes for 43 and ran for 23 and 30 yards. Ryan Nassib found Nick Provo for 24 yards and Alec Lemon for 22, 26 and a 58 yard touchdown.

It was mostly on offense (30-41) and again in the kicking game (11-20). We actually got off to a good start leading 3-0 and 6-3 before falling behind 6-10 at the half. Cincy got a 74 yard kickoff return and an immediate 24 yard run from Isaiah Pead to open the second half to make it 6-17 and we never got back into it. Munchie Legeaux hit DJ Woods for 29 yards. Jordan Luallen had a 48 yard run. Ryan Nassib hit Antwon Bailey 25 yards and Van Chew for 27 yards but it was too little too late.

We struggled back to 20-26 and had a fumble returned for a touchdown followed by an interception. Tino Sunseri completed passes of 22, 33 and 37 yards. Ryan Nassib found Alec Lemon for 22 and 27 yards on one drive. But it was the mistakes that determined the outcome of the game. [/QUOTE]
