Game Vs. Ohio Northern

This week the Muskingum football team would host Ohio Northern who is national ranked 16. The Muskie's are having a slow start to the 09 season and face a very tough opponent.

But the Bears would also put points on the board with about 40 seconds and a bad snap would lead to a 2 point conversion and at the end of the first quarter the Bears would lead 8 to 6. Muskingum would be the first to score in the second quarter again but ONU would score a pair of touchdowns after the MU touchdown. Towards the end of the second quarter MU and ONU would trade a pair of touchdowns. At halftime the score was 29 to 20 with the bears leading.
In the second half the Muskie's would only score 2 touchdowns and the bears would one score one touchdown. Even though the Muskie's played hard the effort was enough as the Bears won 37 to 34.
