Week 9 Results

Redlands

The Bulldogs trailed 21-0 at halftime and did not find the endzone until the 9:37 mark of the third quarter when Tyler Tremain (Folsom, CA) found Seth Weller (Olympia, WA) for a three-yard touchdown.

The game looked wrapped up for the Sagehens in the fourth quarter when they recovered a Tremain fumble at their own 13-yard line with 8:24 remaining in the game.  But the Redlands defense was able to get a quick three-and-out with only 1:04 coming off the clock.

Redlands did not waste any time, scoring on three plays that went for 44 yards in only :43 seconds as the score moved to 21-14 Sagehens.

On the ninth play of their next offensive drive following a P-P punt, Tremain ran for a 14-yard touchdown, Vicente Garcia (Fontana, CA) converted the extra point and UR headed to overtime tied at 21.

Pomona-Pitzer settled for a 22-yard field goal in the first possession of extra-time giving them an early lead. The Bulldogs then took over and on their first play had a two-yard loss on a completed pass.  The very play Tremain took over winning the game with a 27-yard rushing touchdown.

The Bulldogs' comeback was quite miraculous when you consider how little time was remaining (7:10 when the first fourth quarter scoring drive started) and that they were outgained 369-270 in total yardage, averaged 2.8 fewer yards per pass, were sacked four times, and lost the time of possession by 13:20. They did play a cleaner game with no penalties versus the 10 for 87 yards for the Sagehens.
