Game Notes  John Sacca had to leave the game in the second quarter after
injurying his shoulder. He was nailed after making a 9 yard run . True freshman
Wally Richardson took over the controls. Wally had been the 4th string QB at
the start of the season, but due to the injuries to Collins, Sacca and
Nardillilo out with a sore shoulder, Richardson was forced into action. He was
able to orchestrate drives of 65 and a 15 play 64 yarder for touchdowns. The
second of those scoring drives came right after Cincinnati had just scored a
touchdown to pull within 17-14. The drive included Richardson connecting on all
threee of his passing attempts and consumed 7:36 from the clock. When the
Bearcats got the ball back there was only 5:36 remaining in the game. 

O.J. McDuffie had 161 all-purpose yards. 

People are complaining that we gave up 20 points to a team we crushed last
year. However, we only gave up 191 total yards which includes 61 on the final
drive of the game. Cicinnati scored 2 of their touchdowns on drives of 29 and 8
yards. The 29 yard drive was set up by an opening game kickoff return of 69
yards and the 8 yard score came after a Jamie Dreese blocked punt.

The Offense was able to run for 243 yards despite the Bearcats putting 7 and 8 
guys right on the line of scrimmage. This is a tribute to the Lion ball
carriers and the offensive line. 

After Cincinnati scored on the opening drive, the Penn State defense was able
to hold the Bearcats to three plays and out on the next four possesions. 

Next week we are at home against the Temple Owls. Joe has not announced yet who
will start this game.
