After conceding an catly 0 lead, the Red Storm diove the length of the field and were looking to even the score. But the drive stalled and a fourth down convulsion was negated by an illegal motion penalty, forcing DSC to attempt a field goal. 7-- islb t Junior kicker Jameson Schultz pushed the attempt wide right and the Red Storm came away empty handed. Led by freshman quarterback Stefan Cantwell, the Red Storm racked up 442 yaids of total offense, but managed only two touchdowns. "We're not finishing in the red zone as much as I would like," quarterback coach Judd Thompson said. "We're settling for too many field goals which, in a 42-ya- rd game like this, made the difference." Cantwell, a business major from South Jordan, was the bright spot for the Red Storm. In just his third start as a college quarterback, Cantwell passed for 308 yards and added 102 more on the ground. After the solid performance, Cantwell said he isn't intimidated to be the leader of players who are older than him. "I just get in the flow of the game," Cantwell said. "They're great ceivers and running re- backs. If I hand tne ball off, I know I'm going to get five or six yards a carry out of them. If I throw a pass to them, I know they're going to catch it." After giving up 14 first quarter points, the Red Storm responded with 10 unanswered points of their own.

Head coach Scott Brumfield said conceding big plays has been a thorn in the side of the team all season. "Those type of things arc momentum killers," Brumfield said. "We go down and score, and then they have the long touchdown down the sideline. It's just little things. As a young team we can't afford to not do the little things.
