The Bears would take a 7-3 lead in the game, with 5:13 left in the third quarter on a 68-yard run by freshman quarterback Griffin Throneberry. That score awoke Oakland, who in wildcat formation, were led down field by Victor Stephenson:

That put Oakland up for good at 10-7. On the next drive, senior running back Jordan Brown broke open the game:

Brown finished the game with 189-yards on 20-carries and that touchdown.

Stephenson, who had 55-yards on 9-carries, would find the endzone again with 2:20 to play in the game on an eight-yard run. It was his second touchdown of the night. The Bears did add a score as time expired for the final of 24-14.
