Braymer received the ball to start and unfortunately turned the ball over on downs. Albany capitalized on the short field advantage and was able to score and get the 2 point conversion. Braymer answered and got down to the 2 yard line after a 26 yard run by K. O'Dell. R. Shoe was able to run the 2 yard touchdown in. Albany got right back in the game with another touchdown. Braymer unfortunately had a holding penalty and then a fumble that Albany recovered to stop the next drive. With another touchdown and 2 point conversion, Albany went up 22 to 6.
