DiGilio is followed everywhere by Terry Dalton, McGann and Fran Sullivan are constantly after Arenberg and the Panther backfield.

Chris Simonsen intercepts and runs it to the 30. bare lofts a perfect pass on first down to Burton for the score and Hiller misses (but mighty close from here) for the first time this season.
