End First Quarter

While the Rhode Island defense is dominating and Campbell has not picked up a first down from scrimmage, the Rams offense is struggling with some mental mistakes. One muffed punt and one fumble have handed the ball to Campbell on a platter and made this one a tie game after 15 minutes.

The Camels have been rotating their quarterbacks and running some trick plays, and while Sixkiller has seen most snaps, Mike Chandler has re-entered the game under center.

 We're all tied up at 7-7 after one.

Rhode Island Fumble

Deep into the red zone, Rhode Island fumbles and Campbell recovers, taking over.
