In come the backups. Ark St QB Harris throws a 45 yard TD pass to WR Quinn, 45-7. K Smith boots a 32 yard FG, 48-7. PR Richard Graham returns a punt 59 yards for a TD.

K Smith hits another FG from 32 yards out to make it 58-7. PR Graham returns another punt from 63 yards to make it 65-7. He then returns a 69 yard punt and a 56 yard punt for TDs for 4 total punt returns for TDs on the day.

The first half performance was less than spectacular with dropped passes, failed 3rd down conversions, and missed FGs. I might have to let Graham return a few more punts. But how? PR Clifton Williams leads the league, well... led the league in PR yardage. A nice problem to have I guess.
