The Bulldogs found themselves down 22-0 but they were able to put together a good drive that resulted in freshman quarterback Tate Tiernan finding freshman running back Donovan Holloway on 14 pitch and catch and would trail 22-6.
Ell-Saline would score one more time before the half as Reese Krone would use his legs to run in it from 5-yards out and the Cardinals would take a 30-6 lead into the locker room.
The Cardinals would pick right up where they left of in the first half as Reese Krone would throw his 3rd touchdown pass of the night. This time he would connect with senior running Kas Kramer over the middle for a 19-yard touchdown and the Cardinals were running away with a 36-6 lead.
The Ell-Saline defense wanted to get in on the scoring as defensive end Trey Williams would pick off a Tate Tiernan screen pass and rumble in from the 28-yard line to take a commanding 44-6 lead.
The with 4:14 left in the 3rd quarter Reese Krone would throw his 4th touchdown pass of the night and 2nd to Kas Kramer as they would hook up for a 36 yard connection. After the successful two point conversion the game was over at 52-6.
Reese Krone would finish the night 6-10 for 140 yards and 4 passing touchdowns and rushing touchdown, he would also add a few sacks on defense.
