Key Moment
  • Sean Wilson Jr. hauled in a 31-yard reception on third and 19, which set up a Jordan Bennett touchdown, giving the Bulldogs a 21-14 lead in the fourth quarter.
How it Happened
  • Princeton produced an eight-play drive on its first possession of the game that resulted in a 13-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone at the ten-minute mark of the first quarter (7-0).
  • The Tigers were driving again and reached the red zone before Omaris McMiller Jr. intercepted the pass in the corner of the end zone with two minutes remaining in the first quarter (7-0). McMiller played the fade route perfectly and ripped the ball away from the receiver as they went to the ground.
  • The Bulldogs responded with a nine-play drive that saw Brennan Myer rush it in on the option to tie the game at seven with 9:36 remaining in the second quarter (7-7).
  • Princeton missed a kick, and the Black and Gold threw an interception on the following possession. The Tigers drove and set up a field goal to end the half, but missed the kick, keeping the game tied at seven at the end of the half.
  • The Tigers began the second half with the ball and drove down the field, setting up a field goal, but the snap was fumbled, giving Bryant possession at its own 21-yard line.
  • The Bulldogs would then lead a 15-play drive, which saw Sean Wilson Jr. tally two catches for 33 yards, Jordan Bennett convert a 4th and one, and then OJ Ross punch it in to give Bryant a 14-7 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter (14-7).
  • Princeton led an 11-play drive that ended at the start of the fourth quarter, tying the game at 14 on a rushing touchdown (14-14).
  • The Black and Gold produced a 14-play drive that saw Wilson Jr. make a catch over a defender for a 31-yard gain on third down and long. This set up Jordan Bennett, who ran up the middle for an 11-yard touchdown, giving Bryant a 21-14 lead with 8:25 left in the game (21-14).
