Bulldogs Seeking To Reverse Trend<br />
Overall, the Bulldogs have dominated the<br />
<strong>Union</strong>-UVa-Wise series. However, recently, the<br />
Cavaliers have won the last two meetings. In<br />
2006, UVa-Wise posted a 21-6 decision. The<br />
Cavs opened up a 35-3 halftime lead and led<br />
42-3 early in the third in 2007, but UVa-Wise<br />
had to hold on for the 42-37 victory as <strong>Union</strong><br />
reeled off 34 second-half points.<br />

Virginia Is For Lovers ... & Football<br />
By and large, <strong>Union</strong> has enjoyed its time<br />
playing teams from the state of Virginia with a<br />
7-6 mark.<br />
The Bulldogs have played just three schools<br />
from Virginia.<br />
Here is a look at how <strong>Union</strong>’s fared against<br />

UC Drops 7 Spots In The Polls<br />
For the seventh week in a row, <strong>Union</strong> is<br />
ranked in the NAIA Football Top 25 Coaches’<br />
Poll, however, the Bulldogs fell a few spots in<br />
vs.<br />
UVa-Wise<br />
(7-1, 4-0 MSC East)<br />
this week’s rankings. After suffered a 33-27<br />
loss at then-No. 25 Shorter (Ga.), the Bulldogs<br />
garnered 83 total points in the voting to come in<br />
at No. 21, 4 more than No. 22 Shorter.<br />
When <strong>Union</strong> cracked the Top 25 on Sept.<br />
15 by coming in 18th, it marked the first<br />
appearance in the polls by a Bulldog football<br />
squad since the 1996 Preseason Poll. <strong>Union</strong><br />
then moved up to No. 16 in the Sept. 22 Top 25<br />
Poll before jumping to No. 12 in Sept. 29 Top<br />
25 Poll. <strong>Union</strong> moved up to No. 11 in the Oct. 6<br />
rankings. However, a loss to Cumberlands (Ky.)<br />
dropped <strong>Union</strong> to No. 17 in the Oct. 13 ratings<br />
but moved back up to No. 14 on Oct. 20.<br />
Another Week, Another Ranked Opponent<br />
For the fifth time this season, <strong>Union</strong> will<br />
square off against a NAIA Top 25 team. The<br />
Bulldogs have faced then-No. 24 Malone<br />
(Ohio) on Sept. 13, then-No. 18 Georgetown<br />
(Ky.) on Sept. 27, then-No. 16 Cumberlands<br />
(Ky.) on Oct. 11 and then-No. 25 Shorter (Ga.)<br />
on Oct. 23, going 2-2 in those <strong>game</strong>s.<br />
Now, <strong>Union</strong> will meet up against No. 10<br />
UVa-Wise on Saturday. Technically, <strong>Union</strong> has<br />
already played 5 ranked teams. However, when<br />
<strong>Union</strong> and now-No. 17 Lambuth (Tenn.) met up<br />
on Sept. 6, neither team was ranked, let alone<br />
received a vote.<br />
The last time <strong>Union</strong> defeated a Top 10 team<br />
came during the 2005 season when <strong>Union</strong> upset<br />
then-No. 5 Cumberlands (Ky.) 35-34 on Nov. 5,<br />
2005, in Williamsburg, Ky.<br />
Clock Management - Bulldog style<br />

<strong>Union</strong> has held the edge in time of possession<br />

2008 UNION BULLDOG FOOTBALL<br />
in 5 of the <strong>game</strong>s.<br />
In the <strong>game</strong>s <strong>Union</strong> has not led in time of<br />
possession, the team is 1-2. In the two losses,<br />
the Bulldogs have been held under 23 minutes<br />
in time of possession.<br />
Despite nearly rallying back to beat Shorter<br />
(Ga.) on Oct. 23, <strong>Union</strong> was limited to a<br />
season-low 22:13.<br />
Making Second-Half Adjustments<br />
<strong>Union</strong> owns the third quarter this season,<br />
outscoring its opponents 83-21. The Bulldogs<br />
hold a slight edge in the first half, outscoring<br />
opponents 139-115 during the first two quarters.<br />
However, <strong>Union</strong> has only allowed 21 points<br />
in the third quarter - 14 of them coming in<br />
the 45-27 win at West Virginia Tech on Oct.<br />
4. Although WV Tech scored 14 in the third,<br />
<strong>Union</strong> reeled off 28 points in the frame. A<br />
big reason for this is due to the fact that the<br />
Bulldogs average 7:56 in time of possession<br />
in the third quarter. Currently, <strong>Union</strong> averages<br />
16:07 in time of possession in the second half,<br />
but only average 13:30 in the first half.<br />
Opponents do hold the advantage in the<br />
fourth quarter, outscoring <strong>Union</strong> 73-40. Yet,<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has owned at least a 7-point lead going<br />
into the fourth quarter in all but 2 <strong>game</strong>s.<br />
However, versus Cumberlands, the <strong>game</strong> was<br />
tied at 21 going into the fourth, and the Patriots<br />
outscored <strong>Union</strong> 14-7 in the fourth to pull out<br />
the 35-28 victory. This marked the first time all<br />
season <strong>Union</strong> trailed in the fourth quarter.<br />
Against Shorter, <strong>Union</strong> trailed 28-14 heading<br />
into the fourth as the Hawks held on for the 33-<br />
27 decision on Oct. 23.<br />
Score by Quarter 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total<br />
<strong>Union</strong> 59 80 83 40 - 262<br />
Opponents 55 60 21 73 - 209<br />
By Air Or By Land - UC Getting It Done<br />
By and large, <strong>Union</strong> has been a pass-oriented<br />
team in recent years. However, judging by the<br />
first 8 <strong>game</strong>s, things could be changing.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> tallied 2,796 total yards on offense<br />
with 1,654 through the air and 1,142 on the<br />
ground - one of the more balanced attacks<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has displayed in some time. In the 23-13<br />
win at Faulkner (Ala.), the Bulldogs racked<br />
up 334 yards rushing and 517 yards in total<br />
offense. The last time <strong>Union</strong> ran for more than<br />
300 yards came in a 57-27 win over Bethel<br />
(Tenn.) on Oct. 11, 2003, as the Bulldogs<br />
amassed 377 yards on the ground.<br />
But in the last 5 <strong>game</strong>s, <strong>Union</strong> has been held<br />
to 534 yards rushing while the Bulldogs have<br />
passed for 1,093 yards.<br />
A big reason for the balanced offensive attack<br />
improved and experienced offensive line.<br />
The Bulldogs O-line is anchored by LT<br />
Quintin Borders (SO, 6-6, 318), who was a First<br />
Team All-MSC East selection as a freshman in<br />
2007. C Brock Evans (JR, 6-1, 292) has proven<br />
to be a solid contributor on the line as has RG<br />
Joe Mullinax (SO, 6-0, 317). Currently, Evans<br />
is the lone junior on the 2-deep at any of the<br />
o-line positions and there are no seniors.<br />

Red-Zone Issues?<br />
The Bulldogs are doing a good job of getting<br />
points in the red zone, scoring 90.0% (27 of 30)<br />
of the time inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.<br />
However, of those 27 red-zone scores, 21 have<br />
been for TDs while <strong>Union</strong> has booted 6 FGs.<br />
On the flipside, opponents are scoring at a<br />
92.0% rate (23 of 25) inside the red zone with<br />
22 scores being touchdowns. In all, 22 of the<br />
29 touchdowns <strong>Union</strong> has allowed have come<br />
inside the 20.<br />
Versus Pikeville (Ky.) on Oct. 18, <strong>Union</strong><br />
recorded its first red-zone stop as it forced the<br />
Bears to turn the ball over on downs. Pikeville<br />
did end up scoring 3 times in the red-zone, but<br />

MID-SOUTH CONFERENCE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK<br />
Cumberland University’s James McClain, Shorter <strong>College</strong>’s Logan Lollis and Pikeville <strong>College</strong>’s Kyle Chilton have been<br />
named Mid-South Conference Football Players of the Week, the conference announced on Sunday.<br />
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK<br />
McClain scored four times -- two rushing and two receiving touchdowns -- to earn MSC Offensive Player of the<br />
Week. The Goodlettsville, Tenn., freshman running back rushed for 57 yards and caught four passes for 160 yards in<br />
Cumberland’s 46-43 win at Belhaven. McClain caught touchdown passes of 70 and 58 yards and ran for touchdowns<br />

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK<br />
Chilton connected on a pair of pair of fi eld goals to earn MSC Special Teams Player of the Week. The junior placekicker/<br />
punter, made fi eld goals of 45 and 46 yards for the Bears only points in a 14-6 loss to No. 11 UVa-Wise. The Clearwater,<br />
Fla., native, became the program’s all-time fi eld goal leader with his two makes. He also averaged more than 44.4 yards<br />
per punt including two inside the 20 yard line to earn his second straight weekly award.<br />
those scores came in the fourth-quarter against<br />
the second- and third-string defense.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> made its second red-zone stop against<br />
Shorter (Ga.) on Oct. 23 when the Bulldogs<br />
blocked a 21-yard field goal attempt.<br />
Brinkley Putting Up Quality Numbers<br />
Although he’s been rather quiet and kind<br />
of flying under the radar, QB Mike Brinkley<br />
(R-FR, 6-1, 161) is weaving together a solid<br />
season. Through 8 <strong>game</strong>s, he completed 59.6%<br />
(130 of 218) of his passes for 1,643 yards<br />
- making it 12th 1,500-yard passing season in<br />
program history.<br />
Brinkley also has thrown for 23 TDs,<br />
www.ucbulldogs.com 2
2008 UNION BULLDOG FOOTBALL<br />
marking the third time in program history a<br />
quarterback has thrown for 20 or more scores<br />
in a season. Joey Waters accomplished the feat<br />
twice, tossing 21 touchdown passes in 2005 and<br />
27 in 2007.<br />
In addition, Brinkley ranks 14th in the NAIA<br />
in pass efficiency at 150.4.<br />
On Oct. 18, Brinkley tied a 22-year-old<br />
record with 5 TD passes in the 42-24 win<br />
over Pikeville (Ky.). Greg Duncum first<br />
accomplished the feat in a <strong>game</strong> versus<br />
Lambuth (Tenn.) in 1986.<br />
Brinkley has spread the wealth as no<br />
Bulldog has more than 28 receptions with five<br />
receivers having at least 16 catches on the year.<br />
In addition, he has thrown to eight different<br />
receivers and seven of whom have at least 1 TD<br />
reception.<br />

Manning The Line<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has done a good job owning the line of<br />
scrimmage on both sides of the ball.<br />
The Bulldog offensive line has only<br />
surrendered a total of 12 sacks for 83 yards.<br />
Meanwhile, <strong>Union</strong> has sacked its opponents<br />
16 times for 123 yards. In addition, <strong>Union</strong> has<br />
recorded 55 tackles for a loss of 210 yards.<br />
DL Arthur Johnson (JR, 5-10, 300), DL<br />
Patrick Burke (SR, 5-8, 213), DL Michael Gold<br />
(JR, 6-3, 248), DL Jason Hammontree (SO,<br />
6-0, 249) and DL Quentin Penn (R-FR, 6-0,<br />
232) have done a good job getting pressure<br />
up front and creating avenues for the Bulldog<br />
linebacking corps to operate. Johnson, Burke,<br />
Gold, Hammontree and Penn have combined<br />
for 104 total tackles, but the quintet has 14.0<br />
TFL and 5.0 sacks.<br />
Against Cumberlands, Hammontree came<br />
up huge as he also recovered a pair of fumbles<br />
with one resulting in a Bulldog touchdown. It<br />
marked the second time this season a Bulldog<br />
has recovered 2 fumbles in a <strong>game</strong>. LB Willie<br />
Williams (SR, 6-4, 220) recovered 2 fumbles<br />
in the 27-21 season-opening win at Lambuth<br />
(Tenn.).<br />
Catching Up With Callahan<br />
WR Kyle Callahan (JR, 6-0, 197) has hauled<br />
in a 28 passes for 329 yards and 9 TDs this<br />
season, moving him into the Top 10 all-time in<br />
receptions. He currently has 104 career catches<br />
for 1,418 yards and 19 TDs, putting him 5th on<br />
the all-time list. Also, the Covington, Ky. native<br />
is the 5th player in program history to haul in a<br />
100 passes.<br />
In addition, Callahan needs 206 receiving<br />
yards for second place. To overtake the top spot,<br />
Callahan would have to amass 665 receiving<br />
yards as Pete Greene holds that mark at 2,082.<br />
Callahan now owns at least a share of the<br />
single-season and career TD receptions records.<br />
He currently has 9 TDs on the season and 19 for<br />
his career, tying him with Courtney Elesby for<br />
the single-season mark as he is the sole owner<br />
of the career record.<br />
Last season, Callahan became the 14th player<br />
in program history to amass 40 receptions in<br />
a season when he hauled in 60 passes for 816<br />
yards and 8 TDs. If he is able to haul in 12 more<br />
passes this season, Callahan will become only<br />
the second player in program history to have<br />
two 40-reception seasons under his belt.<br />
In addition, he was just the 3rd player in<br />
program history to amass at least 60 receptions<br />
in a season and 4th to rack up over 800<br />
receiving yards.<br />

The LB trio of Willie Williams (SR, 6-4,<br />
220), Marekus Smith (SR, 5-11, 196) and<br />
Depaul Peyton (SR, 5-10, 222) are taking<br />
advantage of the opportunities the defensive<br />
line is creating for them. The three have<br />
combined for 200 tackles, 26.0 TFL of 110<br />
yards, 10.5 sacks, 5 forced fumble, 4 fumble<br />
recoveries, 1 INT, 6 pass breakups and 3<br />
blocked kicks.<br />

recording 9 total tackles. Heading into the Oct.<br />
11 <strong>game</strong>, Green had just 1 total stop and 1 QB<br />
hurry to his credit.<br />
Running Up The Charts<br />
RB Terence Pollock (JR, 5-10, 223) became<br />
the 3rd player in program history to rush for<br />
over 2,000 yards in a career. The junior back<br />
registered his 9th 100-yard <strong>game</strong> with 161 yards<br />
and 1 TD on 15 carries versus Pikeville (Ky.)<br />
on Oct. Pollock now has 2,202 career rushing<br />
yards, needing 653 for the top spot.<br />
He now only trails Scott Russell (2,854<br />

Pollock Piecing Together Memorable Season<br />
RB Terence Pollock (JR, 5-10, 223) is not<br />
only compiling some serious career numbers,<br />
but he is on pace to record one of the top<br />
rushing seasons in program history.<br />
Through 8 <strong>game</strong>s, Pollock has ran for 829<br />
yards and 8 TDs on 130 carries, making it the<br />
6th best rushing season in program history. At<br />
his current pace of averaging 103.6 yards per<br />
<strong>game</strong>, Pollock could finish with over 1,139.6<br />
which would by shy the single-season mark of<br />
1,158 set by Clarence Mackey in 1993.<br />
To date, there have been only two 1,000-yard<br />
rushing seasons in program history - Mackey’a<br />
1,158 yards in 1993 and Scott Russell’s 1,046<br />
yards in 1994.<br />
To eclipse Mackey’s record, Pollock will<br />
need to average 110.0 yards per <strong>game</strong> this rest<br />
of season. In addition, Pollock needs to average<br />
57.0 yards per <strong>game</strong> to become just the 3rd<br />
player in program history to rush for a 1,000<br />
yards in a season.<br />

Special Teams Truly Becoming A Specialty<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has had a history of big plays on<br />
special teams. Whether it’s big returns, blocked<br />
kicks or quality punting, the Bulldogs have<br />
shined on special teams in years past and 2008<br />
doesn’t look any different.<br />
Special teams played a huge role in <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
comeback attempt at Shorter (Ga.) on Oct.<br />
23. The Bulldogs blocked a punt and a field<br />
goal with both eventually resulting in a <strong>Union</strong><br />
touchdown. On the season, <strong>Union</strong> has blocked<br />
a total of 6 kicks with LB Marekus Smith (SR,<br />
5-11, 196) and DB Cain Smith (FR, 6-0, 186)<br />
each blocking 2.<br />
P/K Jacob Appleby (FR, 5-9, 155) has had 2<br />
multi-field goal <strong>game</strong>s, including 3-for-3 outing<br />
against Faulkner (Ala.) on Sept. 20. He is 6-for-<br />
8 on field goals this season and 34-for-35 on<br />
PATs as he is averaging 6.5 points per <strong>game</strong>.<br />
WR Chris Thomas (FR, 5-11, 162) is proving<br />
to be a dangerous threat returning kicks and<br />
punts, averaging 22.9 yards per kick return and<br />
5.5 yards per punt return.<br />
P/K Chad Boyington (FR, 5-9, 155) is only<br />
averaging 34.1 yards per punt, but 12 of his 36<br />
punts have pinned opponents inside their 20. He<br />
has averaged 40.5 yards per punt in his last 3<br />
<strong>game</strong>s. Against Cumberlands (Ky.) on Oct. 11,<br />
he averaged 42.0 yards per punt with a seasonlong<br />
of 50 and pinning Cumberlands inside<br />
the 20 once. Versus Pikeville (Ky.) on Oct. 18,<br />
Boyington averaged 43.8 yards per punt with<br />
a long of 68 yards - 6 yards shy of the school<br />
record, and pinned Pikeville on its 1-yard line.<br />
Against Shorter (Ga.) on Oct. 23, Boyington<br />
averaged 36.0 yards per punt with a long of 51<br />
while pinning the Hawks inside their 20 twice.<br />
He has had a punt of 50 or more yards in each<br />
of the last 3 <strong>game</strong>s.<br />
On the flipside, opponents have only made 2<br />
field goals against the Bulldogs.<br />
Harris “Picking” Up Where He Left “Off”<br />
DB Ty Harris (JR, 5-10, 163) wasted little<br />
time “picking” on opposing quarterbacks as he<br />
netted an interception against Malone (Ohio) on<br />
Sept. 13.<br />
Harris now has 8 career INTs. The school<br />
record is 12, which is held by Ernest Johnson.<br />
He needs just 1 more INTs to tie Tally Adams<br />
for 5th in program history.<br />
Twice in the past 2 seasons, DB Ty Harris<br />
(5-10, 163, JR) tied the school record for<br />
interceptions in a <strong>game</strong> with 3. On Sept. 9,<br />
2006, he picked off 3 passes at NCAA Division<br />
II Chowan (N.C.) as a freshman. Harris then<br />
picked off 3 passes vs. Cumberlands (Ky.) on<br />
Sept. 1, 2007.<br />
He joins Lavarus McCloud and C.J.<br />
Westerman as the only ones in program history<br />
with a 3-INT <strong>game</strong>.<br />
Versus Cumberlands on Oct. 11, Harris had<br />
a solid performance against the run-oriented<br />
Patriots. He had 6 total tackles, 0.5 TFL, 2 pass<br />
breakups and forced a fumble that prevented<br />
Cumberlands from scoring on what would’ve<br />
been an 80-yard pass play.<br />
Secondary Holding Its Own<br />
In addition to DB Ty Harris (JR, 5-10, 163),<br />
the Bulldog secondary has done a good job<br />
containing the opposition. DB Terry Young<br />
(SO, 5-8, 170) is fourth on the team in tackles<br />
with 32 total stops with 2.0 TFL, 1 INT, 1 pass<br />
breakup, 1 fumble recovery and 1 defensive<br />
TD. DB Jeremy Agbomi (JR, 6-0, 167) is third<br />
on the team in tackles with 34 total tackles with<br />
4.5 TFL, 1 INT, 1 breakup, and 1 QB hurry,<br />

Converting Turnovers Into Points<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has been winning the turnover battles<br />

takeaways and only had 11 giveaways. Also,<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has been able to turn those takeaways<br />
in to 59 points this season, while opponents<br />
have only registered 28 points off of <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
miscues.<br />
In <strong>Union</strong>’s last 13 <strong>game</strong>s, <strong>Union</strong> has<br />
converted its opponents’ 29 turnovers into 125<br />
points - scoring 17 TDs and 2 FGs.<br />
The <strong>Union</strong> defense did well in causing<br />
turnovers in 2007 as opponents turned the ball<br />
over 26 times in 11 <strong>game</strong>s, while <strong>Union</strong> has<br />
turned the ball over 23 times.<br />

21 Is Generally The Limit<br />
When determining whether <strong>Union</strong> will<br />
be victorious or not, 21 has been the magic<br />
number. Under head coach Tommy Reid, <strong>Union</strong><br />
is 16-5 when holding an opponent to 21 or<br />
fewer points. The last time <strong>Union</strong> lost a <strong>game</strong><br />
when limiting a team to 21 or fewer came on<br />
Nov. 11, 2006, when UVa-Wise posted a 21-6<br />
win.<br />
Meanwhile, <strong>Union</strong> is 12-44 under Reid when<br />
opponents score 22 or more points.<br />
Thus far this season, <strong>Union</strong> has registered<br />
4 wins when allowing more than 21 points<br />
- recording identical 35-28 decisions against<br />
Malone (Ohio) and Georgetown (Ky.) as well<br />
as a 45-27 victory at West Virginia Tech. <strong>Union</strong><br />
also defeated Pikeville (Ky.) 42-24. The last<br />
time <strong>Union</strong> had 2 or more victories in a season<br />
in which the opponent scored 22 or more was<br />
2005. The Bulldogs went 4-6 that season and<br />
had the wins in which the opponent netted at<br />
least 22 points (44-33 win over Belhaven, 35-34<br />
win at Cumberlands, 47-28 win vs. UVa-Wise).<br />

Recent OT History Not Kind To UC<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has played in 5 overtime <strong>game</strong>s and is<br />
2-3 in such contests.<br />

period <strong>game</strong>s, defeating Cumberland (Ky.)<br />
<strong>College</strong> 24-23 in 1996 and Pikeville (Ky.)<br />
<strong>College</strong> 17-16 in 2001. However, since then,<br />
<strong>Union</strong> has lost its last 3 overtime <strong>game</strong>s. In<br />
2002, <strong>Union</strong> lost 32-29 to NCAA Division II<br />
Concord (W.Va.) <strong>College</strong>. The Bulldogs lost<br />
9-3 at Campbellsville (Ky.) University in 2003.<br />
<strong>Union</strong>’s last overtime <strong>game</strong> was in 2004 when it<br />
fell 32-25 to Pikeville.<br />
Kicking FGs Begins with ‘J’<br />
When P/K Jacob Appleby (FR, 5-10185)<br />
made 3 field goals Saturday at Faulkner (Ala.),<br />
it mark the seventh time in program history<br />
the feat had been accomplished. Appleby is the<br />
fourth player to boot 3 field goals in a <strong>game</strong>,<br />
and coincidentally, all 4 players have something<br />
in common - their first names begin with the<br />
letter ‘J’. Appleby joined James Hager, Junior<br />
Distefano and Jeremy Macejewski on this<br />
exclusive list. Macejewski accomplished the<br />
feat three times during his career.<br />

UVA-WISE 42<br />
UNION 37<br />
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> reeled 34 unanswered, secondhalf<br />
points, but it wasn’t enough as No. 9<br />
UVa-Wise held on for the 42-37 Mid-South<br />
Conference East victory Saturday.<br />
The Bulldogs (2-7 overall, 0-3 MSC<br />
East) trailed 35-3 at the half and was down<br />
42-3 with 12:53 to play in the third before<br />
rallying<br />
The Cavaliers (8-1 overall, 3-0 MSC<br />
East) scored on all five of its first-half<br />
possessions en route to a 35-3 advantage.<br />
All five drives were 65 yards or longer, yet<br />
UVa-Wise didn’t burn much time off the<br />
clock as it controlled the ball for just 12<br />
minutes and 46 seconds in the first half.<br />
<strong>Union</strong>, on the other hand, struggled.<br />
Twice, the Bulldogs turned the ball over on<br />
downs in Cavalier territory. <strong>Union</strong> creeped<br />
into the red zone twice in the first half but<br />
only managed three points as it trailed 35-3<br />
at the break.<br />
As the second got underway, it looked<br />
bleak for the Bulldogs as a muffed kickoff<br />
allowed the Cavs to take over on the <strong>Union</strong><br />
36. Seven plays later, Randy Hippeard<br />
hooked up with Jason Lovett for the fourth<br />
time on the afternoon for a 29-yard scoring<br />
pass as the lead swelled to 42-3 with 12:53<br />
to play in the third.<br />
But then, <strong>Union</strong> began to slowly crawl<br />
back into the <strong>game</strong>.<br />
Taking advantage of back-to-back<br />
fumbles on kick returns, the Bulldogs<br />
scored twice within a minute and 25<br />
seconds to make it 42-17 with 6:34 to go in<br />
the third. <strong>Union</strong>’s first touchdown came on<br />
an 11-yard pass to Shawn Kelly (Owenton,<br />
Ky.), while Terence Pollock (Orange Park,<br />
Fla.) scampered 19 yards for the second<br />
touchdown.<br />
After UVa-Wise turned the ball over<br />
on downs, Pollock capped a seven-play,<br />
81-yard drive with a two-yard plunge to<br />
make it 42-24 with 1:56 remaining in the<br />
third. The Cavaliers again turned the ball<br />
over on downs, giving the Bulldogs the ball<br />
on their own 37. Seven plays later, Joey<br />
Waters (McDonough, Ga.) hit Kelly for<br />
a 25-yard scoring strike to make it 42-30<br />
with 13:00 left in the <strong>game</strong>. The PAT was<br />
blocked.<br />
UVa-Wise’s defense then stepped up,<br />
picking off Waters on <strong>Union</strong>’s next two<br />
possessions. Jahmal Potter and Ryan<br />
Vanover came up with the interceptions.<br />
Not ready to give up, <strong>Union</strong> mounted a 14-<br />
play, 85-yard scoring drive to cut the deficit<br />
to 42-37 with 1:50 to play. Waters hit Kyle<br />
Callahan (Covington, Ky.) for a 7-yard<br />
strike for the score.<br />
But that was as close as <strong>Union</strong> could get<br />
as it fell 42-37.<br />

UNION 27<br />
LAMBUTH 21<br />
JACKSON, Tenn. - <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> shook off some voodoo<br />
Saturday as it opened the 2008 season with a 27-21 victory at<br />
Lambuth (Tenn.) University, marking the fi rst time since 1997 <strong>Union</strong><br />
has defeated Lambuth.<br />
Lambuth (0-2 overall) took the early lead, marching 87 yards in 10<br />
plays to grab a 7-0 lead. Marquis Williams scored on a 27-yard run<br />
with 7:02 remaining in the fi rst.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> (1-0 overall) struck twice in the second quarter en route to<br />
a 14-7 halftime lead. At the 9:06 mark, Mike Brinkley (Anthony, Fla.)<br />
hit Kyle Callahan (Covington, Ky.) for a 17-yard touchdown pass to<br />
tie the <strong>game</strong> at 7-7. After a Lambuth fumble, the Bulldogs found the<br />
end zone in no time. Terence Pollock (Orange Park, Fla.) capped a<br />
four-play, 20-yard drive with a 4-yard plunge as <strong>Union</strong> seized a 14-7<br />
advantage with 6:03 left in the half.<br />
Jacob Appleby (Harvest, Ala.) hit a 20-yard fi eld goal at the 11:15<br />
mark in the third to make it 17-7. Midway through the third, Brinkley<br />
and Callahan hooked up again; this time from 10-yards out as <strong>Union</strong><br />
built a 24-7 cushion.<br />
Early in the fourth, Lambuth cut the margin to 24-14, but Appleby<br />
booted an 18-yard fi eld goal to push the lead to 27-14 with 5:38<br />
remaining.<br />
Lambuth caught a break as it blocked a punt and ended up scoring<br />
to pull within 27-21 with 2:23 to play.<br />
However, the Bulldogs held on for the win, the fi rst at Lambuth<br />
since 1994.<br />

UNION 35<br />
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> put together a dominating<br />
second-half performance to upset visiting No. 24 Malone (Ohio)<br />
<strong>College</strong> 35-28 Saturday, extending the Bulldogs win streak to four<br />
<strong>game</strong>s.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> is off to its fi rst 2-0 start since 1994 when it went 7-3.<br />
Malone is now 0-1.<br />
Trailing 28-21 at the half, <strong>Union</strong> struggled offensively during the<br />
fi rst 30 minutes. The Bulldogs had the ball for only 12 minutes and<br />
15 seconds and amassed just 91 yards in total offense. Meanwhile,<br />
the Pioneers ate up 17:45 off the clock in the fi rst while racking up<br />
285 yards.<br />
But it was a different story in the second half.<br />
The Bulldogs dominated the third quarter, hanging on to the ball<br />
for 12:59 in the period. Taking the opening kick of the half, <strong>Union</strong> ate<br />
8:19 off the clock while march 65 yards in 15 plays in tying the <strong>game</strong><br />
at 28-28. Mike Brinkley (Anthony, Fla.) hit diving Kyle Callahan (Covington,<br />
Ky.) in the left side of the end zone at the 6:40 mark.<br />
After forcing Malone to go three plays and out, <strong>Union</strong> continued its<br />
ball-control offense. Taking possession with 5:05 on the clock, the<br />
Bulldogs mounted an 11-play, 77-yard drive. Brinkley capped the<br />
march with a 19-yard scoring pass to Rolando Dyer (Lawrenceburg,<br />
Ga.) for a 35-28 lead with 27 seconds remaining in the third.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> continued to eat up the clock in the fourth. After reeling off<br />
47 offensive plays in the fi rst half, Malone had the ball just three<br />
times in the second half with drives of three, seven and eight plays.<br />
With 5:16 remaining, the Bulldogs got the ball on their 23-yard line<br />
and appeared to be on the move to seal the win with a fi eld goal.<br />
Instead, <strong>Union</strong> just chipped away at the clock, executing 11 plays in<br />
running out the clock to capture the 35-28 victory.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> had the ball for 34:21, marking the second <strong>game</strong> in a row<br />
it had over 34 minutes in time of possession. In spite of the large<br />
edge in time of possession, Malone outgained <strong>Union</strong> in total offense<br />
353-297.<br />
Despite throwing two fi rst-half interceptions, Brinkley fi nished the<br />
<strong>game</strong> 17-of-25 for 170 yards and four touchdowns. Callahan tied a<br />
22-year-old record with three touchdown catches as he pulled down<br />
four passes for 39 yards. He joins Albert Pellingrino as the only<br />
Bulldogs with three touchdown receptions in a <strong>game</strong> as Pellingrino<br />
accomplished the feat against Lambuth (Tenn.) University in 1986.<br />
Terence Pollock (Orange Park, Fla.) had just 69 yards rushing but<br />
58 came in the second half. Darrell Taylor (Louisville, Ky.) helped<br />
out with 23 yards on four carries. Ben Kelly (Cold Springs, Ky.) had<br />
a good all-round day seven yards rushing and 53 yards receiving<br />
on six catches.<br />
Senior Willie Williams (Miami, Fla.) had 14 total stops, a sack<br />
and a blocked punt to lead the Bulldog defense. Marekus Smith<br />
(Lithonia, Ga.) and Jeremy Agbomi (Cincinnati, Ohio) each had eight<br />
total tackles with Smith recording 2.5 tackles for a loss and forcing<br />
a fumble.<br />

FAULKNER 13<br />
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Terence Pollock ran for a career-high 198<br />
yards and scored twice as visiting No. 18 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> held off<br />
Faulkner (Ala.) University 23-13 Saturday.<br />
Pollock’s (Orange Park, Fla.) fi rst carry of the day was one for the<br />
highlight reel as he galloped 97 yards for a touchdown on <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
fi rst play from scrimmage. After the PAT, <strong>Union</strong> led 7-0 with 10:02<br />
remaining in the fi rst.<br />
The 97-yard run is the longest run in Pollock’s career. Prior to this<br />
season, Pollock had not had a run longer than 26 yards. Howver, he<br />
had a 33-yard run in the win at Lambuth (Tenn.) Universty on Sept.<br />
6 and now a 97-yard gallop.<br />
Pollock’s long sprint is close to the longest run in Bulldog history,<br />
but Dayna Overton had 99-yard touchdown run against Tiffi n (Ohio)<br />
University in 1998.<br />
The junior running back fi nished the day with 198 yards on 20<br />
carries, just 16 yards shy of James Fletcher’s single-<strong>game</strong> record of<br />
214, which he set against Tennessee Wesleyan <strong>College</strong> in 1985.<br />
As a team, <strong>Union</strong> rushed for 334 yards. The Bulldogs entered the<br />
<strong>game</strong> with 274 rushing yards. <strong>Union</strong> only rushed for more than 200<br />
yards once in 2007 (214 versus Campbellsville (Ky.) University on<br />
Oct. 13, 2007). The last time <strong>Union</strong> ran for more than 300 yards<br />
came in a 57-27 win over Bethel (Tenn.) <strong>College</strong> on Oct. 11, 2003,<br />
as the Bulldogs amassed 377 yards on the ground.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> outgained Faulkner 517-167 in total offense. Mike Brinkley<br />
(Anthony, Fla.) completed 12-of-30 passes for 183 yards. He had<br />
one interception, but it came just prior to the half and didn’t amount<br />
to anything. Darrell Taylor (Louisville, Ky.) helped out with 48 yards<br />
rushing on six carries, while Chris Thomas (Hopkinsville, Ky.) caught<br />
three passes for 66 yards and ran for 33 yards on one carry.<br />
Freshman Jacob Appleby (Harvest, Ala.) tied a school record with<br />
three fi eld goals as he accounted for 11 points in the 10-point victory.<br />
Appleby connected on fi eld goals of 22 and 34 yards in the fi rst<br />
half as <strong>Union</strong> built a 13-0 lead with 10:55 left in the half.<br />
Just before the half, Faulkner cracked scoring column just before<br />
the half when Phillip Moore scampered 21 yards for a touchdown<br />
with 46 seconds on the clock, making it 13-7 at the half.<br />
With 2:26 to go in the third, Appleby booted another 22-yard fi eld<br />
goal to up the margin to 16-7.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> appeared to be on its way to extend its lead early the fourth<br />
as it had the ball fi rst and 10 on the Faulkner 15. Twice the Bulldogs<br />
got the ball into the end zone only to have the play nullifi ed by a<br />
penalty. Facing fourth and 31 at the Faulkner 36, <strong>Union</strong> punted and<br />
pinned the Eagles on their 12-yard line.<br />
Faulkner turned the ball over on downs on its own 16, and Pollock<br />
scored on the very next play to put <strong>Union</strong> up 23-7 with 6:23<br />
remaining.<br />
On the ensuing drive, Faulkner marched 64 yards in nine plays for<br />
a touchdown. Moore hit Josh Cooper for an 8-yard pass. The Eagles<br />
went for two on the PAT, but the run failed to leave the score 23-13<br />
with 4:09 left.<br />

UNION 35<br />
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 Bulldogs 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 Bulldogs 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 Bulldogs went into ball-control mode, eating up a lot of the<br />
clock during the fi nal 10 minutes of the <strong>game</strong>. 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 <strong>game</strong> 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 <strong>game</strong> 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 />

W. VA. TECH 27<br />
MONTGOMERY, W.Va. - No. 12 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> continued its winning<br />
ways Saturday as the Bulldogs held off host West Virginia Tech<br />
45-27 in a wild Mid-South Conference East battle.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> is 5-0 overall and 2-0 in MSC East play, marking the fi rst<br />
time since 1991 that the Bulldogs won their fi rst two conference<br />
<strong>game</strong>s of the season. <strong>Union</strong> also matches its longest winning streak<br />
in program history, having won seven straight dating back to last<br />
season. <strong>Union</strong> also won seven during the 1933-34 seasons and the<br />
1992-93 campaigns.<br />
The loss dropped West Virignia Tech to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in the<br />
MSC East.<br />
Freshman quarterback Mike Brinkley (Anthony, Fla.) threw for a<br />
career-high 258 yards on 16-of-30 passing. He also matched his career<br />
high for touchdown passes with four. The 6-foot-1 singal-caller<br />
also tossed four touchdown passes in a 35-28 win over then-No. 24<br />
Malone (Ohio) <strong>College</strong> on Sept. 13.<br />
Turnovers proved to be a deciding factor in the contest as West<br />
Virginia Tech turned the ball over four times while <strong>Union</strong> was<br />
mistake free.<br />
The fi rst half was slugfest as neither team could take control.<br />
The Bears drew fi rst blood, scoring with 28 seconds left in the fi rst<br />
quarter on an 8-yard pass from Michael Scott to Gary Joshway to<br />
make it 7-0.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> evened the score at the 12:38 mark in the second when<br />
Brinkley hooked up with Terence Pollock (Orange Park, Fla.) for a<br />
36-yard scoring pass.<br />
With 2:07 remaining in the half, Chris Thomas (Hopkinsville, Ky.)<br />
punched the ball in on a 6-yard run to put <strong>Union</strong> up 14-7. The score<br />
was set up by a Michael Clark (Winchester, Ky.) interception as he<br />
picked off Scott at the Bear 40 and returned it to the 6-yard line.<br />
The teams doubled their output from the fi rst half in the third<br />
quarter alone as <strong>Union</strong> outscored West Virginia Tech 28-14 in the<br />
period to take a 42-21 advantage into the fourth.<br />
Jacob Appleby (Harvest, Ala.) booted a 32-yard fi eld goal with 8:23<br />
remaining in the <strong>game</strong> to put <strong>Union</strong> up 45-21.<br />
Scott and Joshway hooked up for the third time in the <strong>game</strong> to<br />
make it 45-27 at the 5:12 mark. This last touchdown pass covered<br />
3 yards. However, Cain Smith (Lafayette, Ga.) blocked the PAT to<br />
make the fi nal 45-27.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> narrowly outgained West Virginia Tech 334-328 in total offense.<br />
Pollock paced the Bulldog ground <strong>game</strong> with 98 yards and a<br />
touchdown on 22 carries. He also caught one pass for 36 yards and<br />
a score. P.j. Burrowes (Middlesboro, Ky.) hauled in fi ve passes for<br />
66 yards and score, while Nathan Ponzer (Covington, Ky.) caught<br />

CUMBERLANDS 35<br />
UNION 28<br />
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - No. 16 University of the Cumberlands<br />
(Ky.) ate up the yardage and the clock as the Patriots upended host<br />
and No. 11 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> 35-28 Saturday in Mid-South Conference<br />
East action.<br />
With the victory, Cumberlands improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in<br />
league play, while <strong>Union</strong> dropped to 5-1 on the year and 2-1 in the<br />
MSC East.<br />
The Patriots also hold on to the Brass Lantern - the series traveling<br />
trophy, for the third year in a row. Cumberlands leads the series<br />
with a 21-9 record.<br />
Looking the statistics, Cumberlands dominated as it outgained<br />
<strong>Union</strong> 548-235 in total offense. The Patriots held the ball for 37<br />
minuts and 5 seconds, reeling off 83 offensive plays.<br />
Helping Cumberlands maintain possession was their execution on<br />
third and fourth downs. The Patriots converted 10-of-16 third-down<br />
situations and was 3-for-5 on fourth down, scoring twice on fourth<br />
down. Meanwhile, <strong>Union</strong> was only 4-for-11 on third down and 0-of-1<br />
on fourth down.<br />
Tied at 21-all heading into the fourth, Cumberlands was facing<br />
fourth and 9 to go when Kyle King hit Maurice Berryhill for a 28-yard<br />
scoring strike to make it 28-21 with 10:49 remaining. King thread<br />
the needle to Berryhill, who was covered heavily by Terry Young<br />
(Orange Park, Fla.).<br />
<strong>Union</strong> countered with a seven-play, 61-yard drive to even the<br />
score at 28-28. Mike Brinkley (Anthony, Fla.) held his composure<br />
in the pocket as he was being pressured and found Kyle Callahan<br />
(Covington, Ky.) open in the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown pass<br />
with 6:57 to play.<br />
Cumberlands wasted no time in responding, needing only four<br />
plays to seize the lead for good. King completed back-to-back<br />
passes of 15 and 45 yards to put the Patriots down on the <strong>Union</strong> 4.<br />
Two plays later, Freddy West punched the ball in from 1-yard out,<br />
giving Cumberlands a 35-28 advantage with 5:38 still on the clock.<br />
The Bulldogs tried to mount one more comeback, moving the<br />
ball down to the Patriot 35. On third and 8 at the Cumberlands 35,<br />
Brinkley appeared to have hit Demetrius Hicks (Frankfort, Ky.) for<br />
a fi rst down or possible a touchdown at the 2-yard line, but Shovon<br />
Patton nailed Hicks before he could fully secure the ball. On fourth,<br />
Brinkley scrambled away from pressure and found Callahan open,<br />
but the pass was just behind the senior wide receiver as the ball<br />
went through his hands as <strong>Union</strong> turned the ball over on downs with<br />
3:16 left.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> never had possession again as Cumberlands grinded out a<br />
pair of fi rst downs to run out the clock.<br />
The Bulldogs were held to just 50 yards rushing on 23 tries.<br />
Brinkley connected on 13-of-27 passes for 185 yards and two<br />
scores. Hicks caught three passes for 42 yards, while Chris Thomas<br />
(Hopkinsville, Ky.) caught three for 25 yards. Defensively, Willie<br />
Williams (Miami, Fla.) had a big day as he racked up 18 total stops,<br />
forced a fumble, recovered and returned another for a touchdown.<br />

GAME 7 - PIKEVILLE<br />
Oct. 18, 2008<br />
PIKEVILLE 24<br />
UNION 42<br />
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - It was a day of records and milestones<br />
as No. 17 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> celebrated homecoming with a 42-24 Mid-<br />
South Conference East victory over visiting Pikeville (Ky.) <strong>College</strong><br />
Saturday.<br />
With the win, <strong>Union</strong> improved to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the MSC<br />
East, while Pikeville dropped to 1-6 overall and 1-1 in league play.<br />
The win guarantees a winning season for the Bulldogs for the fi rst<br />
time since 1995.<br />
Senior Kyle Callahan (Covington, Ky.) only caught four passes for<br />
31 yards, but he hauled in two touchdown passes to give him 17 for<br />
his career to set the program record.<br />
Freshman quarterback Mike Brinkley (Anthony, Fla.) had a very<br />
effecient day as he completed 15-of-17 passes for 230 yards and<br />
fi ve touchdowns, tying the single-<strong>game</strong> record for scoring passes<br />
in a <strong>game</strong>. Greg Duncum tossed fi ve touchdowns for <strong>Union</strong> against<br />
Lambuth (Tenn.) University during the 1986 season.<br />
Lastly, junior running back Terence Pollock (Orange Park, Fla.)<br />
cemented his name into the record book as he became the third<br />
player in program history to rush for 2,000 yards in a career. He<br />
ran for 161 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, giving him 2,126<br />
career rushing yards. Pollock trails only Scott Russell (2,854 rushing<br />
yards) and Clarence Mackey (2,822) on the all-time rushing list.<br />
The Bulldogs dominated the fi rst half, outgaining the Bears 326-60<br />
en route to a 35-3 halftime lead. <strong>Union</strong> fi nished the <strong>game</strong> with a<br />
443-329 edge in total offense. <strong>Union</strong> substituted freely during the<br />
fi nal 25 minutes of the <strong>game</strong> with second- and third-string offensive<br />
and defensive units getting some playing time.<br />
One area of concern is the number of penalties the Bulldogs were<br />
whistled for. <strong>Union</strong> was fl agged 13 times for 119 yards. Conversely,<br />
Pikeville committed seven penalties for 72 yards.<br />
Up 7-0 after the fi rst quarter, the Bulldogs reeled off 28 points in<br />
the second in building a 35-3 halftime advantage. Pollock powered<br />
the ball in from 13 yards out to make it 14-0 with 14:05 left in the<br />
half. With 10:14 to go, Callahan hauled in an 8-yard toss for his<br />
second touchdown pass of the day as the lead swelled to 21-0.<br />
Kyle Chilton put Pikeville on the board with a 49-yard fi eld goal<br />
into the wind, putting the score at 21-3 with 5:49 remaining.<br />
P.J. Burrowes (Middlesboro, Ky.) pulled down a 23-yard touchdown<br />
pass with 3:56 on the clock as <strong>Union</strong> built a 28-3 lead. Brinkley<br />
ended the half by hitting Chris Thomas (Hopkinsville, Ky.) on a<br />
65-yard scoring play, giving the Bulldogs a 35-3 lead at the break.<br />
Taking the opening possession of the second half, <strong>Union</strong> marched<br />
65 yards for its fi nal score. Brinkley hit Rolando Dyer (Lawrenceburg,<br />
Ga.) for a 29-yard scoring play for his fi fth touchdown pass of<br />
the <strong>game</strong>. Jacob Appleby (Harvest, Ala.) connected on his sixth PAT<br />
of the <strong>game</strong> to make it 42-3 with 9:55 remaining in the third.<br />
Pikeville scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to make the fi nal<br />
42-24.<br />

SHORTER 33<br />
ROME, Ga. - No. 14 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> nearly pulled off the miracle<br />
comeback, but host No. 25 Shorter (Ga.) <strong>College</strong> held on for the<br />
33-27 victory Thursday.<br />
Shorter controlled the fl ow of the <strong>game</strong> with 404 yards rushing.<br />
The Hawks had just 3 yards passing and ended up outgaining the<br />
Bulldogs 405-235 in total offense.<br />
A.J. Cooley paced the Hawks with 122 yards rushing and three<br />
touchdowns on 30 carries. Ben Williams added 103 yards on 21<br />
attempts.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> was held to 79 yards rushing with Terence Pollock (Orange<br />
Park, Fla.) accounting for 76 yards on 20 carries. Mike Brinkley<br />
(Anthony, Fla.) completed 15-of-27 passes for three touchdowns<br />
and 156 yards.<br />
The <strong>game</strong> started off well for <strong>Union</strong> as Shorter took the opening<br />
possession and went three and out. The Bulldogs moved the ball 62<br />
yards in 11 plays, scoring on a Brinkley 8-yard pass to Rolando Dyer<br />
(Lawrenceburg, Ga.) for a 7-0 advantaged with 7:54 left in the fi rst.<br />
Shorter answered with a four-play, 56-yard drive to pull within<br />
7-6. Cooley punched the ball in for 10 yards out, but the two-point<br />
conversion was no good to leave it 7-6 with 6:07 on the clock.<br />
In the second quarter, it was all Shorter as Cooley added two<br />
scores on runs of 10 and 1 yards to give Shorter a 21-7 halftime<br />
lead. The second half didn’t start well for <strong>Union</strong> as Brinkley was<br />
picked off on the second play from scrimmage as the Hawks took<br />
over on its own 44. Eight plays later, Raymond Nesbitt scored on a<br />
14-yard run to put the Hawks up 28-7 with 9:55 left in the third.<br />
<strong>Union</strong>’s offense was stagnant during much of the third, but<br />
Marekus Smith (Lithonia, Ga.) blocked a punt and <strong>Union</strong> got the ball<br />
back on the Shorter 2-yard line. Two plays later, Pollock powered<br />
the ball in from the 1, cutting the margin to 28-14 with 2:45 to go.<br />
A Lukas Gonzalez booted a 30-yard fi eld goal early in the fourth to<br />
make it 31-14 before <strong>Union</strong> began to rally back. Mounting a 10-play,<br />
80-yard drive, <strong>Union</strong> pulled within 31-21 as Brinkley hit Kyle Callahan<br />
(Covington, Ky.) for a 16-yard scoring pass with 6:27 remaining.<br />
Shorter appeared as if it was going to ice the <strong>game</strong> as Gonzalez<br />
attempted a 20-yard fi eld goal, but Cain Smith (Lafayette, Ga.)<br />
blocked it and Ty Harris (Monroe, Ga.) picked it up and returned it to<br />
the Shorter 14. On the next play, Brinkley and Callahan hooked up<br />
again, making it 31-27 with 1:24 to play. The PAT was no good.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> attempted an onside kick, but Shorter recovered it on the<br />
<strong>Union</strong> 37. However, the Hawks went three and out and had to punt<br />
with 28 seconds remaining. Gonzalez’ punt appeared to be heading<br />
toward the end zone, but the ball took a Shorter bounce and went<br />
out of bounds at the 1-yard line.<br />
The Bulldogs tried to pull out a miracle, attempting to latteral its<br />
way to a score on the fi nal play. Yet, Chris Thomas (Hopkinsville,<br />
Ky.) ended up being downed in the end zone to give Shorter a<br />
safety, making the fi nal 33-27.<br />
