Pregame: 5 minutes to kick off and the Capatins are on the field. From left to right, Brady Smith, Tamba Tongu, Alex Butt, Casey Ceagles and David Newsom.

(13:28) and Athens just ran for a first down, real good play by the True Frosh, he got into trouble and solved his way out of it instead of throwing it away or turning it over. I'm impressed. Tigers on the UD 43 yard line.

(11:41) And the drive stalls in UD territory. Athens' pass to Ceagles comes up 3 yards short. Bill Shears punts it into the end zone. UD ball at the 20.
