GAME RECAP: Wayne State team suffered its second consecutive road loss falling 31-7 at Tiffin.

HOW IT HAPPENED • After the Warriors drove 42 yards on the first drive of the game, the Dragons responded with a 12-play, 75-yard drive culminating in a 23-yard field goal by Tomislav Derezic. The drive was aided by an offsides penalty on WSU on a third-and-two. • Following WSU’s second punt of the game, Tiffin quarterback Antonio Pipkin tossed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Charles Holland to finish off a five-play, 37-yard drive. • Wayne State answered with a 53-yard kickoff return by redshirt freshman Jordan Billingslea. Five consecutive runs by sophomore Romello Brown was capped off by a two-yard TD run to pull the Warriors within 10-7. • The Dragons regained a 10-point advantage with as Pipkin scored on a six-yard scamper concluding an 11-play, 88-yard drive. Two penalties on third down plays resulted in first downs for Tiffin. • Senior kicker Majd Khytaz missed a 40-yard field goal attempt on the ensuing drive which went 52-yards in 11 plays. Sophomore Demetrius Stinson had a 23-yard carry, while freshman signal caller D.J. Zezula had previously scrambled for 13 yards on a third-and-13. • The third quarter consisted of two punts by each team and a combined 125 yards of offense (WSU- 59, TU-66). • A Tiffin drive that carried over into the fourth period ended on a 16-yard scoring toss from Pipkin to Tony Shead. • After an exchange of punts, the Dragons completed the scoring on a 46-yard jaunt by Pipkin.
