UR-ASU Blog Quarter #3

10:13 PM -- A play action pass for 17 yards from Ward to Hightower draws the Spiders to within a touchdown at 35-28 with 11:57 remaining in the 3rd quarter. The Spiders drove 78 yards on 7 plays to find the end zone. The question now to be asked is: Can the Richmond defense slow down the App offense??

Hold that question.... Appalachian fumbles on the ensuing kickoff!!! Richmond recovers at the Mountaineer 29 yard line and are in business to tie this one up! Ward scrambles inside the Appalachian 10 yard line. On third and goal Ward looks for a receiver, pulls the ball down and scrambles five yards to the pylon and the Richmond score! The Howard PAT ties the game at 35-35 with 9:02 left in the 3rd period.

10:29 PM -- Appalachian is impressive on its first offensive series of the half, a 9-play, 69 yard drive that takes 4:13 off the clock. Kevin Richardson scores for the first time today, a three-yard romp to help ASU regain the lead at 42-35 with 4:41 left in the quarter.

10:42 PM-- The two teams exchange punts, and at the end of the 3rd quarter, the Mountaineers lead 42-35. Fifteen more minutes stand between the Mountaineers and a third-straight trip to Chattanooga!
