NOTES: Ferris’ offense scored two early touchdowns and the Bulldog defense came up with a big stop on a potential game-winning field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter as FSU escaped with a narrow 14-12 victory to open the 2008 campaign at Frost-Kalnow Stadium in Tiffin, Ohio. The contest represented the first-ever series' meeting between the two teams. The Dragons jumped out to an early six-point lead on a 27-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Root to wideout Greg Raspberry with 11:20 to go in the opening frame. FSU responded with two consecutive touchdowns as redshirt freshman quarterback Tom Schneider scored on a four-yard run with 4:48 to play in the first quarter and then hooked up with redshirt freshman receiver Seth Hubbard for a 14-yard scor- ing toss to open the second frame with 13:52 to go in the quarter. From there, the Bulldog defense held Tiffin's offense mostly in check until the Dragons came alive in the fourth quarter and pulled within two points on a score. The Dragons then moved the ball down inside the FSU 20-yard line with just over two minutes to play. However, on fourth down, the Dragons mishandled the snap on a 31-yard field goal attempt and FSU senior linebacker Kevin Noe made the stop to preserve the victory.

☛ NEW RULES TO WATCH: The biggest rules change this season is seen on the clock. The play clock is now at 40 seconds instead of the previous 25-second clock. The 40-second clock will start as soon as the previous play has ended rather than when the ball was spotted ready for play in the past. Additionally, on out-of-bounds plays this sea- son the clock will start once the ball is marked for play. In the last two minutes of each half, the clock won’t run until the ball is snapped on out-of- bounds plays.

☛ GLIAC COACHES POLL: Ferris was selected to finish seventh in the 2008 GLIAC Football Coaches Preseason Poll, which was released during the GLIAC's annual football media day luncheon (Aug. 5) at Zehnder's Restaurant in Frankenmuth, Mich. The Bulldogs received 66 points in the balloting, which was conducted by the conference's 12 head coaches.
