[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Ottawa had a 12-1 lead at the half and with the way their defense had played, many had to think this game was all but over.
Toronto(2-1) though had other things in mind and when all was said and done Ottawa (0-2-1) was left wondering what had just happened?


With 8 minutes left in the first Trevor Harris (Waldo, Ohio/Edinboro)connected with, Mossis Madu Jr. (Oklahoma) for a six-yard score.

Each team scored single points in the second, so entering the half we had a 12-1 score.

In the second half the play that sticks out the most was a muffed snap, on what would have been the game tying point after kick, that caused Ottawa to stay behind by a point and eventually was a gigantic reason to why they lost.

With 10:07 left in the third Harris fumbled a snap and recovering it for a Toronto touchdown was, Cassius Vaughn(Mississippi). He would total just two tackles in the game, but left a huge mark on it with this play. A two point pass was incomplete causing this game to stay 12-7.
