Game Notes

August 22nd Saturday

 when Winters' fumble was recovered by Seth Collins.

The Trojans drove to Fulton's 24 on 10 plays, and Duncan's 41-yard field-goal attempt was short late in the half.

"The first half we didn't finish plays," Trojans coach Lamar Brown said. "A couple of times we had receivers open. We've just got to finish plays. Defense, the same thing, we've got to finish plays. We missed tackles. It's nobody's fault but mine."

The Trojans stopped Fulton on downs starting the second half and took over at the Falcons' 40.

Seven plays later, Chad Brooks scored on a 4-yard run. It was 8-7 with 7:02 left in the third.

Fulton answered with two big plays by Thomas.

On first down from his 20, Thomas gained 31 yards. Five plays later, Thomas ran to the left, broke a tackle in the backfield, and ran right for a 26-yard touchdown. Winters' conversion run gave the Falcons a 16-7 lead with 3:41 to play in the third.

The Trojans' Jordan Bishop scored on a 1-yard run with 5:24 left in the game. Hunsucker missed the PAT attempt, and the Trojans trailed 16-13. They never got the ball back.

Fulton faced a third-and-11 from its 19, and Winters threw a 20-yard pass to Xavier Bridges to keep the drive alive. Fulton drove to the Trojans' 11 and time ran out.
