Quarterback Marcel Reed was the difference as he was able to come off the bench and run in three touchdowns in the second half as he replaced a brutal Conner Weigman. Let's take a closer look at the box score and discuss how the game wound up.

For Vincent, College Sports is on par with the pro leagues as it is a professional pipeline with media rights deals and a free agency of sorts. He plays video games and hangs out with friends and family when he’s away from his keyboard.
