In a prime time game, against a top 25 team, the Bulls were looking to shock not only the Bull Run editorial staff, but also the nation. In a game in which the Bulls starting QB had only 10 pass attempts, the Nittnay Lion fans were out in full force, and the national media was broadcasting the game, Bull’s fans held their collective breaths for what some thought might be a long night.
The game started promising, as Matt Myers seemed to show confidence as he helped the Bulls to some first downs. It still felt as if Leipold wanted to run the ball, but this would prove beneficial in the first half.
