So UCA lost two possible possessions due to special teams and defensive scores.
Final MCN 17 – UCA 47
Up 44-10 with 7:09 remaining in the 3rd quarter, UCA went ultra conservative with four straight 3 and outs (one resulted in a FG but the drive stared at the MCN8 and resulted in –3 yards). We attempted zero passes the last 22:09 of the game.
Well look at that, the Bears are so good even Trey made an appearance.
