Gridiron Report Card

Passing game: A-

The Good: Sophomore quarterback Joe Licata was flawless. He let the game develop for him and completed 68 percent of his passes.

The Bad: Licata had senior wide receiver Alex Neutz running wide open down the sideline during the Bulls' last-minute drive in the second quarter. He scrambled for a 16-yard gain instead.

Run game: A

The Good: It was undoubtedly the best rushing attack the Bulls have displayed all season and senior running back Branden Oliver had the best single rush of the season; Oliver scampered for a 60-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

The Bad: After the Bulls pulled their starters in the fourth quarter, junior running back James Potts ran for just seven yards on six carries with the Bulls' second-team offense.

Run defense: B+
