On the ensuing drive, Albion got to the Trine 20-yard line, but the Trine defense forced the Britons into a fourth-down attempt that came up a yard short and resulted in a turnover-on-downs and more importantly, out of the endzone. The two scores by the Britons were the only points scored in the period who headed into the final quarter with a 17-point advantage.Įarly in the fourth, Trine looked to tack on another field goal, this time from 44 yards out, but the attempt was blocked, keeping the margin at 17 points.
In the third quarter, the Britons found the endzone on their first two offensive possessions that included a 60-yard pass play to complete a one-play scoring drive and extended Albion’s lead to 27-10 at the 5:58 mark. But this time, the kick sailed wide keeping the Albion lead at three points, 13-10, heading into the locker rooms. Trine got one more possible scoring opportunity before the intermission following the fumble recovery by Tagliaferri with a 39-yard field goal attempt. The next two Albion possessions also ended in turnovers that included an interception by junior Keysean Amison (Sandusky, Ohio/Perkins) and then a fumble that was recovered by sophomore Marques Tagliaferri (Angola, Ind./Angola). Three plays later, senior Ryan Hibbets (Monticello, Ind./Twin Lakes) used his leg to cut into the deficit even more with a 47-yard field goal with just under four minutes to go in the half and pulled the Thunder to within three points, 13-10. During Albion’s ensuing drive, the Thunder forced a turnover with a fumble that was recovered by sophomore Jaylen Matthews (Gary, Ind./Andrean) at the Briton 28-yard line.
