Husky's won the toss to third to the second half,
so the Owls take it first. They had one third
down conversion before punting and a touchback, and as they
did in their season finale last year at UMass, the
Huskies would score on their first play from scrimmage when
Joe Finnano hit his favorite.

yard touchdown. He beat his man by about a yard
and Rice could not recover. Bell goes all the way
on the first play from scrimmage.

eighth touchdown of the campaign. That is for Skylar Bell
for Finnano his sixteen TD pass and the Huskies quick
seven nothing lead. After a three and out by the Huskies,
Rice answered with a ten play fifty two yard drive
that took five minutes off the clock and resulted in
a field goal. The twenty eight yard pass play to
(01:06):
tie in Micah Barnett into Yukon territory at the Huskies
thirty five. They also had a fourth down and two
conversion with an eight yard run by Quinton Jackson, but
the drive stalled. Enter place kicker Enoch Gotta and the
Owls would get on the board.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Snap is good, the kick is up, and the kick
is good and Rice is on the board. The fireworks
set off here at Rice Stadium. Good drive by the
Owls and they get on the board.
Speaker 2 (01:32):

That gets Rice on the board. First added seven to
three Huskies. Despite Rice having the ball for twelve plus minutes,
their first possession of quarter number two had their second
big play. They gave them the lead on third and
three at their own twenty seven. Two misstackles and Quinton

It's Jackson and it's a foot Rice at the thirty.
The twenty stays on his feet and he's in the
end zone.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Clinton Jackson goes all the way for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Clinton seventy three yards and Rice has the league.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Longest run of the season for Jackson after the pat
ten to seven hours his previous long with sixty eight.
One thing Rice did was take away the run as
mid second quarter, you kind of just five yards on
the ground and dialing up the pressure only thirty six
after the first play of total yards by you, kind
of after the long touchdown by Bell. But the Huskies
(02:41):
would respond when Joe Finnano hit Bell for twenty one
yards on third and three to the Rice forty nine.
That was followed by our dime of the game.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
At fast break offense, Fernano throws and it's caught by
John Knider on the right.
Speaker 2 (02:55):

Dime Bank Community Banking lives here. Alex Honig with a
big catch on fourth and three to the twenty in
the Travelers red zone. Then Cam Edwards a nine yard
catch and a seven yard run brought the ball to
the Owls four at the two minute timeout. Raymelo Murphy
was called for an offensive pass interference penalty in the
end zone for the game's first penalty. Lewis Hansen had
(03:29):
a seven yard catch, his first catch in the Delaware game,
to the twelve. Then on third down, enter Cam Edwards.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Finnano takes the snap, he looks to his left under pressure,
throws over the metal, caught touchdown along the left side.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It was Cam Edwards and a great.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Lookaway by Jofinnano and he found Edwards in the left
flat and he was able to run it in from
twelve yards away to give you call the lead.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Thirteen plays seventy seven yard yards, four to forty five
and eight of nine on that drive, Edwards first receiving
touchdown of the season. That gave you kind of fourteen
to ten lead, which we'll call our drive of the game.

Huskies lead lasted one play and here.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Is Jenkins throwing it up top as a man that's
caught at the fifty, the thirty, the twenty, and Rice
answers immediately in.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
One play with a touchdown out of the backfields came
the running back Quinton Jackson, and Yukon's lead is gone
in a second.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All right, we left it seventeen fourteen as a Jackson
just a second catch of the season, and it goes
for six with one thirty five left in a seventeen
to fourteen Rice lead. Joe Fignano started with a sixteen
yard pass the Skylar Bell, then catches of twelve and
five to Victor Rosa to the Rice forty two. After
Rosa went for five on the ground, the Huskies would
(05:14):
strike again.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The Fignano with Rosa to his ride, he looks to
his right, throws up top all Man wide open right sideline,
head into the endzone.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Touchdown. How did he get that open? Shuees Faren was out.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
There having a cup of coffee on his own and
Finano delivered it. That had to be a coverage mistake
by Rice, and you Conrey gains the lead.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Third touchdown in two weeks for the tight end from
North Carolina and a twenty one seventeen halftime lead for
the Huskies. Capping a six place seventy five yard drive
in forty six seconds. Fignano was eighteen of twenty three
for two hundred and fifty one yards and three touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
In the first half.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Rice got the ball late, went fourth on fourth down
they failed, so twenty one seventeen at the break and
the Huskies would get the ball first to start the
third quarter. Huskies got to midfield before Rice got a
hold and Connor Stood's pin them at the twelve for
their first possession of the third and the Huskies flipped
the field when Jackson Harper had a nineteen yard punt
return that gave you kun It's best starting position of
(06:18):
the game at the Rice forty five with eight twenty
two left. It started with an eleven yard pass the
skylar belt of the thirty four, then got just seven
more yards on the ground, so now they needed the
dependable Chris Freeman to tack on points for the Huskies.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Forty five yard If for Chris Freeman, snap is good,
the kick is up by Chris hand.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It is good.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He hit it in just inside the right field goal post,
and the Huskies get three on a very short button productive.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Freeman, now with a school record at twelve consecutive field
goals six for six now from forty to forty nine
and a twenty four to seventeen Yukon lead. Freeman had
shared the record with guy named Dave Teger two twenty
nine left in the third and again Connor Stutz pinned
the owls back at the nine, but Quinton Jackson started
(07:08):
with a seventeen yard run to go over one hundred
for the day to the twenty six at another ten.
As Rice starts the fourth of their own forty five
facing third and three. DeAndre Hardiman did not play until
the fourth quarter a seventeen yard run to the Yukon
thirty eight. He ran for another five on third and
short to the twenty six. Drayden Dickman goes sixteen yards
(07:29):
to the ten before Hartman finishes off a twelve play
ninety one yard drive.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
So the ball is a ten yard line, a handoff
inside and spinning open and running to the end zone
and in for a touchdown. As Hardiman he started down
the middle of the defense and then busted it right
and Rice has answered again.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Five minutes and forty seconds on the drive. The pat
tie the game at twenty four Hardiman's first rushing touchdown
of the sea and for the native from Houston, the
ninety one yards the long longest drive yardage wise allowed
by Yukon this season. It was all on the ground.
You kind of got to midfield, but forced a punt again.
Stutz this time pinned them to the twelve with nine
(08:14):
to sixteen left.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Rice went three and out, so seven.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Point fifty left and you kind of get at the
ball at the Rice forty five cam edwards back in
the game, starts with a pair of six yards run
six yard runs to the thirty three before he lost
five on the following first down a past de Rosa
an eight yard catch. The Huskies were five of thirteen
on third down to this point. That resulted in a
(08:38):
two yard gain and a pasta Ray Mellow Murphy. Chris
Freeman came on the wet turf after a downpour to
try a forty six yard field goal that to give
you Com the lead, but mother nature and other ideas
he slipped in his first missing thirteen attempts. He had
slipped earlier in the game on a point after, so
he stayed tied at twenty four, and neither team really
(08:59):
had much of a chance at the end of regulation
to win it, so the third overtime game of the year,
the first time ever in Yukon history three overtime games.
Rice got it on the first round. First Chase Jenkins
a run for six, Quinton Jackson for five to the fourteen,
a first down.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
DeAndre Hardeman plows for two before.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Jenkins gets six to the six to set up third
and two, and then it was Jackson buy a hair,
giving Rice the lead.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Chase Jenkins in the shotgun takes a snap, he hands
up to Jackson straight ahead and Jackson died. So the
endz on he lost the ball. They say he's out
a touchdown. You kind of recovered it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I don't know if he fumbled it on the goal
line or not, but they give him the six.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The replay upheld the call of touchdown on the field,
so a thirty one to twenty four lead. After the
point after, Yukon needed an answer, and they did. Edwards
started with a four yard run that had passed to
Terrence Smith for sixteen to the Rice five that set
up first in goal.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Edwards did the rest.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Nano's snap hand off Edwards little jock step left to
Heye bolts into the end zone for the touchdown for
the Huskies. Now they all important ext report.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The point after was good. You mentioned heard Mike mention
the word bolt. There were lightning bolts in the area
miles away from the stadium that got people concerned they
might stop play, but they didn't. Point after was good
and we were tied at thirty one. Chris Freeman and
the Huskies then got the ball to start the second overtime. Well,
(10:35):
I should say Chris Freeman would end it, but Ramelo
Murphy on a deep ball by Joe Finnano, who seemed
a little off in the second half, just missed him
out a deep ball. It forced a third and seven
from the twenty two. Rice brought the house and it
was an incomplete pass. So Freeman had to come out
from forty one to try to put the Huskies out
in front.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
The snap is good, the kick is up, and the
kick is.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Good.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Chris Freeman delivers from forty one yards out and Yukon
takes a lead.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Freeman gave him the field goal forty one yards. But
now Rice needed a touchdown to win, and unfortunately we've
seen the scenario before at Delaware, the Blue Hens went
twenty five yards and marched right in for the win
on second and eight after a short run by Jackson.
He would finish his one hundred and sixty eight yard
three touchdown day with a bang.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And he hands to Jackson and Jackson stays on his
feet and he's going to the ends out his scars,
and you Kon has lost in overtime for a third
time this year.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Jackson twenty one carries one hundred and sixty eight yards
three touchdowns. He added a receiving touchdowns to make it
fourty d's on the day as number ten. Basically a
one man ban on offense with good blocking and the
Owls emerge, snapping a three game skid with a thirty
seven to thirty four to win over Ukon that ends
the Huskies four game win streak
