            The second quarter saw the Wildcat offense start to roll thanks to the rushing of Forgy along with a stingy Wildcat defense that created a turnover resulting in Wayne State's final score of the first half.

            Wayne State's defense then forced a turnover on the next USF series giving the 'Cats one more scoring chance before halftime as Kahmel Johnson intercepted Schafer at the USF 40 and returned the ball seven yards to the Cougar 33. 
            Passes of 12 yards from Bennett Dannenbring to Keaten Bonderson and a 15-yard completion to Dane Petersen set up the Wildcats 1^st and goal at the USF 6.  Three plays later, Forgy found the end zone for a third time in the quarter, this time on a one-yard plunge, giving the 'Cats a 21-6 lead at intermission.    
            Sioux Falls took the opening series of the third quarter and scored as Schafer connected with Hank Brown Junior on an 18-yard touchdown pass, cutting the Wildcat lead to 21-13 with 9:00 remaining in the third quarter.
            Forgy struck again late in the third quarter, breaking loose for a 60-yard scoring run to put the 'Cats ahead 28-13 with 1:01 to play in the third.
            Midway through the fourth quarter, Forgy recorded his fifth score of the game on a seven-yard jaunt, giving WSC a 35-13 advantage.
            WSC closed the scoring with 2:14 to play when sophomore Brennan Hayes scampered 51 yards for a touchdown making the final score 42-13.
