Empire 8 in-game updates

And at the half, it has been all about the defense at Yunevich Stadium.  Ithaca Bombers 0 Alfred Saxons 6.

Bombers failed to convert on two different 4th down situations with relatively short fields.  Lone score of the first half was Tyler Johnson throwing to Brandon Buisch with the following convert failing.

Thanks for the updates Jeff.  Keep them coming!  Very interested in that game.

That's really annoying.  Fisher fumbled the ball in their own territory with a couple minutes left in the half and Frostburg scores a touchdown with 5 seconds left. 

Halftime score

Fisher - 28

Fisher gives up a touchdown late in the half (under 10 seconds left) but dominates the first half. Fisher up 28-7. Love the half, but would love it even more if Fisher can finally put a full game together.

I would love it if the person streaming the video would stop eating.  All I can hear is him or her chewing on food loudly.

Sucks that they gave up that late TD but those catches were great plays by the WR to go get the ball.

Great coverage but great throws to beat it.

They get the ball to start the 3rd so hopefully they get the TD back.

Ithaca scores a TD on the first drive of the second half.  Sorry I can't say how, I got pulled away from the computer.

Ithaca 7 Alfred 6, 12 minutes to go in the 3rd Quarter.

EDIT- Chris Matthews has just come up with an interception for the Bombers, returning to to the Alfred 35.  Huge potential swing here.

The drive after the interception ends in a 22 yard field goal by Garrett Nicholson.  Ithaca 10 Alfred 6 with 7 minutes to go in the 3rd.

Buff St knocks off SU 32-28!

That could be huge to start the half with a big swing in momentum. Interested to hear what IC can make of it.

In other news, Wesley put up 47 points in the first half of their game.  They might be decent this year.

Fisher gets a short field and marches down for a TD to Nigolian...

Frostburg throws a pick two plays later!

Facing 4th and 11 on the Ithaca 22, Alfred decides to go for it.  Johnson scrambled out but couldn't get all the way- turnover on downs, the 3rd in this game.

Ithaca 10 Alfred 6,  at the end of the 3rd quarter.

There's no audio on the stream for Ithaca v Alfred, though they did note that on the webpage.  However, it also says we still have 15 minutes go to in the 3rd Quarter.

[BomberJeff]

Ithaca punts after the turnover. Alfred is then forced to punt but it is somewhat shanked, only going about 15 yards and giving the Bombers the ball at the 50.

On the first play of the following possession, Ithaca gets a 20 yard pass and then gets another 15 yards tacked on due to a Roughing the Passer penalty.

AND TOUCHDOWN BOMBERS!  On 3rd down, Vito Boffoli makes the catch and get it just over the line for his 2nd TD of the day.

Extra point is good.  Ithaca 17 Alfred 6 with 11:08 to go.

Sigh.  I appreciate Frostburg streaming the game and all...I just wish the camera would keep up.  I've missed a couple of touchdowns to this point because of it. 

End of the 3rd quarter

Fisher - 42
Frostburg - 7
