However, another high snap proved costly to the Bulls as John Eible made the recovery for Albion at the Purple Eagles 30 yard line.

The Bulls did capitalize on a short Albion punt on their next possession to briefly pull even at 14-14 as a 31 yard pass completion from Mescall to Crosby helped set up on the Schwab to Crosby TD pass and Brady’s two-point conversion.
