At the half ...

It's halftime and the Bulldogs find themselves in a deep hole, down 24-3.

Saint Francis is a good, solid team and the Cougars will take advantage of an opponent's miscues. And that's pretty much the story of the first half.

A blocked puntm, penalties and poor field position put Union in a bind as the Cougars jumped out to a 24-0 lead. The Bulldogs struggled offensively as the Saint Francis defense kept consistent pressure on quarterback Mike Brinkley.

But after the Bulldog defense stopped Saint Francis deep in Union terrority, the Bulldog offense mounted a solid drive. Terrence Pollock broke many a tackle and gobbled up some nice yardage, and Brinkley was able to find a couple of receivers open.

However, the drive stalled and Union settled for a Jacob Appleby field goal.

Union is putting up a good fight and the team is keeping its head up.

The Bulldogs are a third-quarter team, so we will see how things go.

Go Bulldogs!!!
