Ohio Tech makes it two in a row!
This was a grind it out football game that took place under the lights for the first time in Ada, OH. Not much offense was produced by either team, but the important thing is the Polar Bears took the victory at the end.
The first quarter started out rough. On the first play from scrimmage, Army's QB Steelman kept the ball on an option and jaunted 74 yards for a touchdown. It looked like it was going to be a long day for the Bears, especially after the starting RB Gooden was put out for 2 quarters with hip bursitis. He would later have to sit a few plays out with a sprained ankle in the 4th quarter. Army would go up by 14 halfway through the 1st quarter with another rushing TD by Steelman, but that's the last time they saw the endzone for the day. On the ensuing drive, Mason Torres took the ball 5 yards on a play action pass for the Bears first score of the day!

Mason Torres 5 Yd Rush For TD
The 2nd quartern started off slow with a couple back and forths. Backup RB Gerren Brink took a 2 yard rushing TD up the middle and Obadiah Robertson added the extra point to tie the game up at 14.
It was a defensive stalemate through the 3rd quarter and halfway through the 4th. After a strained tricep that knocked QB Torres out of the game, backup QB A. Kirk drove the Bears down the field far enough for Obadiah Robertson to kick a 44 yarder to give the Bears their first lead of the day. The defense held steady the rest of the game, and Kirk was able to line the Bears up in the victory formation to close out the day, and take the Polar Bears to 2-0!
