Bryant Stays Unbeaten, Holding Off Princeton 21-14
Princeton had more yards. Princeton had the first touchdown. Princeton tied it at 14-14 early in the fourth quarter. Bryant won anyway, 21-14, and is 3-0.
The Tigers got on the board first when Wyatt Becker hit Josh Smith for 13 yards in the first quarter, and that 7-0 lead was the largest deficit Bryant had to climb out of. Brennan Myer tied it with a 1-yard run with 9:36 left in the second quarter. OJ Ross (O'Shawn Ross Jr. in the stat lines) put Bryant up 14-7 with a 1-yard run in the third. Ethan Clark answered with a 1-yard run at 14:54 of the fourth to make it 14-14, and Jordan Bennett's 11-yard run with 8:25 left was the last score of the game. Nobody got on the board after that.
The turnovers tell you why a team can lose the yard count and still win. Princeton out-gained Bryant 320 to 306, but Becker threw two interceptions on 15 of 29 passing and Bryant threw only one. Bryant ran 39 times for 166 yards and threw for just 140, with Myer going 14 of 20. Flip the turnover margin and this is probably a Princeton win. Neither team scored after Bennett's run.
Bryant moves to 3-0. Princeton is 0-1, and the loss was by one touchdown.
For fantasy, this was a game of small pieces. Smith led all scorers with 17.6 points on three catches, Ross had 16.8 on 11 carries and 4 catches, and Becker was close behind at 16.7 despite the two picks.
