Talk about triumphant returns. The Bulldgos looked dead in the water, behind 28-10 late in the second half. An explosive performance by Haener led the Bulldogs to an improbable, come-from-behind victory. Haener finished the game completing 34 of 45 passes for 394 yards and three touchdowns.

Fehoko had one of the more dominating defensive performances I have seen this year. He was in the backfield every play wreaking havoc on the Wolf Pack. Fehoko finished the game with 12 tackles, 3 sacks, and 4.5 tackles for loss.

Hoyland proved to be the difference in this game, nailing both field goal attempts and all three extra point attempts.
