The Clippers would receive the opening kickoff, but after a quick 3 and out, would punt the ball to Peshtigo. It was a short kick that resulted in the first of many drives that began in Clipper territory. The Bulldogs drive would be capped by a 5-yard touchdown run by their running back Zac Schoenfeld who had missed last week due to injury. The Clippers narrowly avoided going down 14-0 late in the first quarter when Carter Drang returned a punt 60 yards, but lost a fumble inside the Clipper 10 yard line.
With just seconds remaining in the second quarter, Bulldogs running back Schonfeld ran his second touchdown in from 9 yards out on a 4th and inches play, sending the Bulldogs into the halftime break leading 14-0 and set to receive the second half kick.
The halftime break did not leave the Clippers much time to gather their bearings. The open kickoff of the second half was returned by Bulldogs returner Carter Drang for a touchdown putting the Clippers behind 21-0 just 15 seconds into the second half. In a second half that sent the Clippers into a long journey home feeling both emotionally and physically beaten, the Bulldogs would sent the game into a running clock in the fourth quarter, and knock a few Clippers out of the game with injuries, including running back Shaun Estrada.
The Clippers will look to bounce back next Friday night as they hit the road once again, this time taking on the Bonduel Bears.
