Game Report - West Chester 46 - Bloomsburg 44 3OT

Cornerback Rondell Bradley batted away Bloomsburg's (2-7, 1-5) two-point conversion pass attempt in the third overtime to preserve West Chester's (4-5, 2-4) 46-44 win at John A. Farrell Stadium.

It appeared that West Chester had control of the game entering the fourth quarter with a 28-14 lead, but Bloomsburg outscored the Golden Rams 17-3 in the period including driving 58 yards in the final 66 seconds to kick the game-tying field goal. The Huskies initial 47-yard attempt fell far short, but WCU was flagged for roughing the kicker which afforded Bloomsburg a second opportunity from 15 yards closer which they converted.

In the first overtime, Bloomsburg scored a touchdown on their first play, running 25 yards up the middle for the score. West Chester only used three plays, capped by a Cooper Jordan two-yard run to continue the contest. West Chester was on offense to start the second OT, and on third-and-11, Jordan escaped multiple tackles and scrambled what seemed like forever before connecting with Troy Corson for a 13-yard score. After Bloomsburg scored an equalizing touchdown to knot the score at 44, subsequent overtimes become alternating two-point conversion attempts. Jordan connected with Matthew Iuvara (3 catches, 71 yards, 1 TD) before Bradley (2 tackles) performed his heroics to end the game.

Jordan (16 of 22, 278 yards, 3 TD's, 13 carries, 53 yards, 1 TD) showed no signs of rust after missing the previous three games due to an injury as he accounted for four West Chester touchdowns. His favorite target was Dylan McKenzie (6 catches, 133 yards) who made several difficult catches in traffic. On the ground, Future Robertson (13 carries, 79 yards, 1 TD) had a nice game and freshman Mikhail Johnson (3 carries, 35 yards, 1 TD) didn't disappoint in limited action.

The West Chester defense had an up-and-down day. They held the Huskies to just 14 points through three quarters, but got worn down in the final period of regulation. For the game Bloomsburg was 9 of 13 on third down, racked up 31 first downs and was perfect in the red zone (4 TD's, 1 FG). The Huskies often sent a man in motion and the Golden Ram defense seemed slow to respond to it. Safety Jimmy Wright was all over the field amassing a game-high 12 tackles. Late in the first half, Connor Noble (9 tackles, 1 QBH) tipped a pass that was intercepted by Kaleb Brown (4 tackles, 1 int) which gave West Chester an extra possession, but it didn't result in points when Rylan Zuk's 47-yard field goal attempt slipped wide right.

Personnel observations:

Safety Jamir Reyes did not play the first half. As a result, Kaleb Brown moved from corner to safety, the position he played all of last season, and Bradley started at the one corner. Reyes started the second half, which sent Bradley to the bench, but after Reyes incurred an injury in the third quarter, the secondary ended the way it started the game.
Geoffrey Gretta started at left tackle for the second consecutive game. While Jake Phipps and Cole Kozlowski started at right guard and right tackle respectively, the pair of Owen Chaffinch and Nick Micewski also saw time on the right side of the line.
