1st
- MSU scores on long opening drive as big RB Anthony Dixon rumbles in around the right side for a 10-yard TD run at 10:02. Adam Carlson's XP makes it 7-0. MSU overcame two holding penalties inside the 20.
- GWU starts first drive at own 29. GWU picks up a first down on a 7-yard run by Brandon Jackson, but the drive is halted near midfield as De'Mon Glanton picks off a Devin Campbell pass and brings it back 60 yards for a score. Carlson's kick makes it 14-0 at 7:55.
- GWU picks up a pair of first downs before the drive stalls near mifield and GWU is forced to punt. MSU takes over at own 12 with 3:40 left.
- GWU's Mario Brown recovers a fumble at MSU 15 and takes over with 3:45 left.
- MSU flagged for past interference on 3rd and 7 with 2:34 left in first. GWU with first and goal at the 3. Another Pass Int. in the endzone gives GWU 1st and goal at the 1. GWU calls a timeout.
- First quarter ends after three-straight gains of no yardage at the 1 by GWU. The second quarter will start with GWU having 4th and goal at the 1.
2nd
- Doolittle throws an incompletion out of the end zone as GWU turns it over on downs at the MSU 1.
- GWU forces a punt and takes over at own 20 with 12:02 left in half.
- GWU fumbles a short, completed past and MSU recovers at 24. The play is reviewed and the call stands. 1st and 10 MSU at GWU 24.

- MSU drives 48 yards on 8 plans to take a 21-0 lead at 2:42 on Dixon's second TD run of the game - this one of 12 yards. Carlson added the XP.
- MSU with good field pos. at the GWU 30 with 1:23 left after a GWU punt. New QB Josh Riddell finds Tony Burks on a 30 yard TD strike after a GWU punt. Carlson's kick makes it 28-0 with 1:18 left.
First half complete with MSU leading 28-0. I'll post some stats when I get them ...
Breakdown: The missed opportunity at the end of the first quarter was big. If GWU cuts it to 14-7 at that point - and just as important gains momentum - this game could very well be much closer right now.
The Runnin' Bulldogs have had some success on both sides of the ball, but MSU's speed and size have seemed to take a toll. The two late touchdowns to push the score to 28-0 both came after three-and-outs by GWU as the defense spent a lot of time on the field late in the half.
Key stats: MSU leads the total yards by a margin of 365-103. MSU has done most of its damage on the ground with 34 carries for 261. Anthony Dixon leads MSU with 15 carries for 87 yards.
Both teams have used two quarterbacks. MSU with Wesley Carroll and Josh Riddell, while GWU's tandem has been Devin Campbell and Stan Doolittle.
Jarvis Williams is GWU's leading tackler with 6 stops.
3rd quarter
- Second half under way with GWU with the ball at own 20.
- GWU with a solid, 10-play, 63-yard drive to get on the scoreboard after a 33-yard FG by freshman kicker Evan Kay. Junior Dobson Collins had the big play on the drive with a long run on an end-around. Score now 28-3 with 10:43 left in the 3rd.
- MSU's Carlson answers with a 33-yarder to make it 31-3 with 7 minutes left.
- Kay hits a 20 yarder to cap a 9-play 70-yard drive with 4 minutes left. Score now 31-6. FG set up by a 36-yard catch-and-run from Doolittle to Duvaughn Flagler.
4th quarter
4th quarter under way with GWU driving inside the MSU 10. David Montgomery with several big runs on the drive. Phillip Peoples finishes off a 10-play, 80-yard drive to make it 31-12. The two-point conversion pass fails with 12 minutes left.
GWU has outscored MSU, 12-3 in the second half.

ewwweee not looking so good for the runnin bulldawgs, guest speaker of the house
how you liking those cowbells on this goal line stand??
Why not run it on 4th and goal at the one?
There's gonna be some interesting stats in this game. Looks like GWU could end up with more yardage, 1st downs, time of possession...
Jack Cristil has now declared, "You can wrap this one up in Maroon & White!"
