Brian Camberg hit Dave Kimmel for his first completion, a touchdown pass of 11 yards, and Altoona jacked the lead to 35-12 to end the third. After a Hollidaysburg fumbled punt, Joey Kleiner set the final score. Altoona fumbled four times, but the Tigers turnovers came deep in their own territory, and usually led to Altoona scores. Altoona's defense was aggressive, holding the Tiger wishbone to 177 yards of total offense. The Lions' Ryan Zupon gained 137 yards on 9 carries, but left the game after his wrist injury following his second quarter touchdown.
Preliminary reports point to a possible fracture.
If the Mountain Lions have a position of depth, it is at running back, so with Waterdown coming up next week, perhaps, Zupon can be safely rested. Hollidaysburg lost Chris Sremenak early in the game, a reality that hurt worse defensively than at fullback. Altoona had scored a few touchdowns, and color commentator Craig Bouslough was pining for the passing game in the first half. It didn't really materialize, but the best passing game weapons appear to be the tight ends. Dave Kimmell did score one touchdown.
