Another tough loss

 Welcome back guys! Sadly, today's blog is not going to be a positive one. I mentioned last week that we had just had a tough loss, loosing to a field goal during the final seconds of the game. This weak was not much different. We were down 14-0 going into half time and it seemed as if it was going to be a blow out knowing that they were receiving the ball when ever the third quarter started. Their fist drive of the second half resulted in a stop for the defense and it was our chance to get on the score board. We drove the field on a 15 play drive and put the ball in the end zone. The score was now 14-7. They begin their next drive and our defense was able to get us another stop and gave our offense another chance to get on the scoreboard and tie the game up. Which we took advantage of on another long drive tying the game up at  14-14 going into the fourth quarter. We were hoping the defense could do something tough and get another stop for the third time in a row and they answered the bell allowing the ball to be back in our offenses hands with a chance to take the lead. We drove down and were on able to get in the end zone but still put points on the board with a field goal making the score 17-14 with a minute and thirty seconds left in the game. We put our defense in a tough spot asking them to get a fourth stop in a row to potentially win the game. Fort Hayes State drove the ball eating up a minute off of the clock and scored on a three yard touchdown pass to put them up by 4 points with 30 seconds left in the game. They kicked off to us and our returner got us to about the 45 yard line where we had time for one play. We were able to get a pass off into the end zone and it fell incomplete with zero seconds left on the clock. It was another tough loss.
