BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - No. 16 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s magical season<br />
continued Saturday with a 35-28 Mid-South Conference East victory<br />
over visiting No. 18 Georgetown (Ky.) <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The win improved <strong>Union</strong> to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in MSC East play,<br />
while Georgetown is now 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the MSC East.<br />
Tied 21-21 at the half, <strong>Union</strong> forced Georgetown to go three plays<br />
and out on the opening drive of the second half. The <strong>Bulldogs</strong> then<br />
moved the ball 70 yards in 12 plays, eating up six minutes and eight<br />
seconds off the clock en route to the go-ahead score.<br />
A pass interference call against the Tigers gave <strong>Union</strong> the ball on<br />
the Georgetown 9. Two plays later, Terence Pollock (Orange Park,<br />
Fla.) punched the ball in from 4 yards out, making it 28-21 with 7:21<br />
left in third.<br />
Early in the fourth, Marekus Smith (Lithonia, Ga.) picked off a Mike<br />
Lewis pass and returned it to the Georgetown 26. But a personal<br />
foul penalty against <strong>Union</strong> moved the <strong>Bulldogs</strong> back to the Tiger 41.<br />
The penalty turned out to be a non-issue as Mike Brinkley<br />
(Anthony, Fla.) hit a wide open Rolando Dyer (Lawrenceburg, Ga.)<br />
down the middle of the fi eld for a 41-yard touchdown pass, putting<br />
<strong>Union</strong> us 35-21 with 13:16 to play.<br />
Georgetown answered on its next possession. Aided by a 42-yard<br />
kickoff return by A.J. Brooks, the Tigers needed only six plays to<br />
go 52 yards for a score. Lewis capped the drive by hitting Kaelin<br />
Ammons for a 24-yard strike with 10:19 remaining, cutting the<br />
margin to 35-28.<br />
The <strong>Bulldogs</strong> went into ball-control mode, eating up a lot of the<br />
clock during the fi nal 10 minutes of the game. However, Georgetown<br />
got the ball back with 44 seconds left on its own 27 and got within<br />
striking distance. A personal foul on <strong>Union</strong> with under 10 seconds<br />
to play put the ball on the <strong>Union</strong> 28-yard line. However, Terry Young<br />
(Orange Park, Fla.) picked off Lewis’ pass on the 5-yard line to end<br />
the game and seal the 35-28 Bulldog victory.<br />
With the loss, Georgetown dropped to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the<br />
MSC East.<br />
Georgetown owned the time of possession in the fi rst half, holding<br />
the ball for 18:18. However, in the second half, <strong>Union</strong> held possession<br />
for 8:00 in the third quarter and 8:58 in the fourth.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> outgained Georgetown 350-322 in total offense. Brinkley<br />
had his best game of the season as he completed 17-of-22 passes<br />
for 253 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.<br />
Dyer hauled in six passes for 98 yards and two scores, all of which<br />
are career highs for the sophomore. Pollock had a decent day as he<br />
ran for 76 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. He also caught<br />
one pass for seven yards.<br />
Defensively, Willie Williams (Miami, Fla.) led the way with a<br />
season-high 15 total stops with a half sack and three quarterback<br />
hurries. Smith helped out with eight total tackles, one sack, a pass<br />
breakup and an interception.<br />
