Penguins Too Much for Baby Bulls


The Bulls didn't have enough experience or defense to deal with the No. 1 Youngstown State Penguins on Saturday.

The Bulls trailed just 24-17 late in the third quarter but had their spirits broken by a long Penguin touchdown drive as Youngstown went on to a 52-17 win before a Stambaugh Stadium record crowd of 20,519.

The Bulls got off to a great start using touchdown runs by Josh Roth (Conewango Valley, NY/Pine Valley) and Anthony Swan (Kingston, NY/Kingston) to build a 14-3 lead. Youngstown, however, showed why they are 5-0 and ranked No. 1 by responding with three straight touchdowns to take a 24-14 lead. UB rallied, however before halftime when linebacker Dan Curcione (Brick, NJ/Brick Memorial) - who had nine tackles on the game - interepted a Demond Tidwell pass to set up a 29-yard field goal by freshman Scott Keller (Amherst, NY/Amherst Central) to cut the lead to 24-17 at halftime.

Split end Drew Haddad (Cleveland, OH/St. Ignatius) had another strong game with seven catches for 112 yards to lead the offense. Quarterback Chad Salisbury (Newell, PA/Frazier HS) completed 16-of-34 passes for 197 yards in the game.

Defensively, free safety Ted McDuffie (Buffalo, NY/Grover Cleveland) again paced the Bulls with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. Londell Young (Brooklyn, NY/Boys & Girls HS) added 10 tackles for the Bulls. Steve Blake (Rochester, NY/East HS) had six tackles, a pass breakup and an interception.
