Winning makes everything feel just a little bit better. Even a drizzly rain on a cool day isn’t so bad when the team collects a conference win at home. Fans had a sense of ease that hasn’t been present in Beaver Stadium for over a month, as they piled out into the parking lot to celebrate into the night.
It was a slow start for the Lions. Two miscues on special teams, a blocked punt and a bad snap on a punt, both led to safeties in the first half. After trailing 14-7 early in the second quarter, the teams were tied at halftime.
