Presbyterian Erases a 14-0 Hole and Runs Away from Davidson
Presbyterian ran the ball 59 times for 345 yards and fumbled it away three times, and still won 38-21. That tells you how lopsided the rest of it was.
Davidson started the way you want to start. Casey Bullock ran in from 14 yards and then threw a 31-yard touchdown to AJ Adams, and it was 14-0 with the first quarter barely a fifth gone. After that the Blue Hose (Presbyterian) outscored the Wildcats 38-7. Jackson Burleson got them going with a 25-yard run, Landon Sharpe found Sean McNamara from 13 yards, Damion Moate scored from 2, and Burleson added an 18-yard run to make it 25-14. Then, with 25 seconds left in the half, Burleson recovered a fumble for another touchdown and it was 32-14 at the break.
Here is the funny part. Presbyterian missed the extra point or the two-point try after four of its six touchdowns (a blocked kick, two failed conversions and a failed PAT on the last one). Get those right and this is a 44-point afternoon. Davidson's only second-half score was a 2-yard Bullock run, 32-21 at that point, and Sharpe put it away from 17 yards out with 4:41 to go.
The totals are a mismatch: 494 yards to 259 for Presbyterian, and the Blue Hose recorded two sacks. Davidson threw one interception and gained just 124 yards through the air. Presbyterian is 2-3, Davidson drops to 1-4.
Fantasy-wise, Burleson was the surprise at 32.6 points on three touchdowns, and Bullock gave Davidson 30.4 in a losing cause.
