This was a tale of two different games in one.  In the first half the Bucks played spectacularly on both sides of the ball and slugged it toe to toe with one of the best teams in the league.  After not being able to move the ball on their first possession, the Bucks answered the Hatters first touchdown with a nice drive of their own with a good mix of the pass and the run.  The Bucks brought it to within one on a 7 yard run by Matt Fitz to make the score 7-6.  The heavyweight title ensued with the Hatters answering on their next possession to take a 14-6 lead.  But Bucks got up off the mat and put together another nice drive capped by a 2 yard run by Teddy Conrad and the two point conversion, a nice pass from Chris Gazda to Palmer Brown, tied the score at 14.  An this is how they went into the half.

Then in the second half, it looked a totally different game, as the Hatters came and scored 35 unanswered points to walk away with a 49-14 win.  After the Bucks generated 150 yards of offense in the first half, they were only able to muster 47 yards on 16 plays.
