HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After holding the Hawks on their opening drive, the Bengals responded with a strong drive downfield as Cameron connected with Phillips for the first touchdown of the game.
  • The Bengals would tack on early in the second quarter and Jones was wide open in the middle of the endzone for an easy Bengals score.
  • After a penalty-driven drive for Hilbert, Buffalo State took over and made quick work downfield as Phillips found the endzone for a second time.
  • The Hawks were able to make a quick drive downfield and add a touchdown before the half but failed on a two-point attempt, giving the Bengals a 21-6 lead at halftime.
  • On the Bengals opening drive of the third quarter, the team quickly ran downfield as Cameron placed a perfect pass for Nelson in the endzone for another Buffalo State score.
  • Later in the third, the Hawks would turn it over on downs, giving the Bengals another opportunity to add to their lead.
  • Cameron's pass was right to Maloney, who juggled the tipped pass and came down with the catch for his first touchdown of the season.
  • Cameron would connect again with Nelson late in the fourth to help the Bengals cruise to their first win of the season.
