...serious wake-up call on the opening drive when senior Andrew Berry got his clock cleaned by three Tigers coverage players when trying to receive the punt from Princeton’s Ryan Coyle. It appeared to be a clear-cut penalty for kick catch interference, but no flag flew. “He got drilled,” Murphy said with a shrug. “They said it was our guy’s fault that he got drilled.” It was the first of a series of no-calls or debateable penalties called...

But Republicans had already targeted Mahoney as a vulnerable incumbent, especially since he won the Foley seat by only 4,000 votes. Vice President Dick Cheney flew into town last month for a fund raiser for Rooney, who knocked off two Republican rivals in the primary. More than $5 million in contributions have been collected in the campaign; as of early August, Mahoney had raised more than $2.5 million and Rooney nearly $800,000.
