McMurry was dominate. Most important part of the game was the last 2:15 of the first half. McMurry was up 10-3 and had just missed a field goal. TLU had the ball at approximately their own 25 but proceeded to go 3 and out with only 17 seconds coming off the clock. After a good punt, McMurry marched down the field in 4 or 5 plays to score a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, McMurry had a short kick and TLU dropped it. McMurry recovered and capitalized on the turnover to score another touchdown before the half. 24 - 3 at halftime.
McMurry was able to convert two TLU turnovers (the one mentioned above plus an interception in TLU's territory on the first drive of the game) into touchdowns. Extremely difficult to overcome those types of mistakes.
