The Bears got the ball back with 2:40 left in the opening stanza when the Tigers punted from within the end zone and the ball bounced backwards to the Tigers own 4-yard line. Moments later Kendall Davis scored on an 11-yard scoring run, on third down, to pull the Bears to within 6-7, after a missed extra point attempt.
