The Bulls' impressive touchdown drive that opened the
second half made that fumble even more costly.
UB kept the momentum when junior cornerback Mike Lambert
intercepted Leftwich at the UB 30-yard line. After a pair of completions
by Bulls quarterback Joe Freedy took the ball to the Marshall 46, the
drive eventually stalled. Placekicker Dallas Pelz missed a 41-yard field
goal that would have pulled UB to within two touchdowns.
Leftwich went back to work after that, completing six
straight passes, including a four-yard strike to Curtis Jones to make
it 31-7. The Bulls hopes faded after another promising drive to the
Marshall 17-yard line ended when a Freedy pass was tipped at the line
of scrimmage and intercepted by Orlando Washington.
UB's final score came on a 10-play, 66-yard drive capped
by a two-yard touchdown burst by Gordon.
