FB squanders chances in loss to Mount Union

TIFFIN -- Missed opportunities proved costly for the Heidelberg University Football team in a 38-6 setback to No. 2 Mount Union on Saturday. Down eight at halftime, the Student Princes were outscored in the second half, 24-0. 

Heidelberg slipped back to .500 at 3-3, 2-2. Mount Union stayed perfect, now 6-0, 4-0.  

The Purple Raiders scored on their first two drives, taking a 14-0 lead. 

After taking the ball into Mount territory, but coming up empty on their first two possessions, Heidelberg scored on their third drive. With excellent starting field position because of a partially blocked punt by Thomas Zacharko, Heidelberg went 41 yards on nine plays. Ty Poorman plunged into the end zone from a yard out, but Ethan Ramsdail's extra point sailed wide. HU trailed, 14-6. 

On the ensuing Mount Union possession, Aaryion Manley picked off a pass and returned it 48 yards to the Mount 15. Disaster struck on the next play, when Mount intercepted a pass in the end zone.  

Mount scored touchdowns on all three of its third quarter possessions, grabbing a stranglehold on momentum. They tacked on a field goal in the fourth. 

Offensively, Poorman was 10-for-22 for 112 yards passing and Drew Miller carried the ball 25 times for 84 yards. Dmitry Peters was the leading receiver with three catches for 63 yards. 

Tyler Jackson had a team-high nine tackles. Trey Farris had four, including 1.5 tackles for loss. Kevion Grant added a strip-sack. 

Heidelberg will look to regroup next Saturday at Muskingum. Kickoff in New Concord is slated for 1:30 p.m.
