Wow...Utica up 28-21 late in the 2nd quarter...UC looking good offensively...

Wick down 14-0 at halftime...moving the ball well enough...but stalling inside the 20 (fumbled once at the 15, and missed a 30 yard FG). They need to punch one in early 3rd to keep this from getting out of hand. One more score for IC without answering will be tough to recover from...
Is Hartwick's secondary that bad or is Ithaca's passing game starting to click?

Wick secondary is better...but not all-world...though I don't think they have been playing that bad today. Wick needs to start getting some pressure with the front four, as I don't think Hendel (I think that is his name) has been pressured too much yet.

That being said, IC passing offense has been pretty efficient today...no real long passes...just taking what the Wick defense is giving them, and it is working...

Wow...UC up 35-21 over Salisbury...

Wick is doing well defensively...but starting off the second half with two straight possessions and two fumbles isn't going to help...still 14-0 IC...

IC fumbles going into the endzone...Wick ball...still in the 3rd...

And just like that, UC and Salisbury are tied up at 35 all in the 3rd...

UC FG good...38-35 UC late 3rd...

Yanks 99 · October 01, 2011, 03:58:00 PM

Salisbury returns the KO for a TD...42-38 Salisbury, still in the 3rd...

Fisher/AU about to get underway. How will Fisher respond to a thrashing last week, against what is probably the best team they will play this year. A tall order to think they can beat AU, but hopefully they have something for AU.

Following the IC-Wick livestats. Seems like a sloppy game, as each team's turned the ball over three times. Hendel's been OK but has also thrown two picks.

Bombers still lead 14-0 in the 4th quarter, but Wick is driving.

EDIT: And right after I post, Hartwick scores to cut it to 14-7 with 6:50 left.

TD Wick...14-7 IC, with 6:50 to go in the 4th...

Great...KO return for a TD IC...about to be up 21-7...

Wahoo!

Needed a big play, and we got it. Ruffrage having himself a ballgame; 75 receiving yards and a TD catch, and now a 61-yard kick return for a score.

Wick at the IC 25 yd line...down 21-7, about 5 mins to go...

Salisbury pulling away a bit, up 49-38 early 4th...

Yanks 99 · October 01, 2011, 04:20:05 PM

Lost the feed..TD Wick...but missed the PAT...

21-13 IC, with 3:32 to go...

HC livestats bit the dust as well. Joy.

Yanks 99 · October 01, 2011, 04:22:09 PM

Wick gets the onside kick!!! Still have a shot...
