Buckley finally pumped some wind into the Crimson sails and drove the team downfield with a potent mix of passes and planned quarterback sweeps out of the shotgun.

Upon receiving the second-half kickoff, however, the Crimson drove far enough downfield to set up a 25-yard Mike Lynch field goal. The 57-yard march was by no means the only time that Kubacki had generated an offense.
