third quarter turned into a defensive grind—especially for
Brandenburg—despite occasional sparks. Dunberry moved the ball early,
but penalties and punts killed momentum. Brandenburg threatened with a
long Middleton catch and even tried a 52-yard field goal, but it came
up short. A key sequence of sacks on Hudson later in the quarter kept
the Brahmas from extending the lead, and the score remained 20–7. |
