On the next drive, Rainey hit Remus Bulmer down the right sideline for a 17-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs reached the end zone again midway through the second quarter when Rainey scored his second TD of the game, also from one-yard out. The Citadel took advantage of a personal foul penalty and went with a surprise onside kick that was recovered by Jacob Godek. On the next play, Rainey hit Raleigh Webb down the middle of the field for a 39-yard touchdown. The defense came up big in the second half as Willie Eubanks III forced a fumble that was recovered by Jay Howard.
