Amherst was smelling upset when leading 21-20, DB Stephen Hause intercepted Olmsted Falls quarterback Brennan Laird giving the Comets the ball at their own 44 with 6:56 left in the game. Unfortunately for the Comets, a bad snap on 3rd and 1 resulted in a 13 yard loss.
From there Laird took over.
- Amherst punted and a 22-yard return by Laird set up the Bulldogs on a short field.
- Laird directed an 8-play 48 yard drive which he was 5-5 for 46 yards passing.
- Called his own number and scored the game-winning touchdown on a 2-yard sneak.
- Called his own number again and converted the 2-point conversion.
- Amherst got the ball at their own 16. Comets completed a pass to Tom Gula but it was Laird who stripped the ball from the receiver. The Bulldogs recovered and ran out the clock.
