To tie the score yet again, the Blue Devils’ Dobbs ran in a touchdown on a 58-yard bomb with 4:37 in the third quarter.

A second Mortimer Jordan interception, this time by Justin Mack with 4:28 in the third, ended in a 35-yard touchdown return to put Jordan ahead again. Mack later had a big fumble recovery during a key drive.

Washington’s third interception return put Jordan up 34-21.

Brewer scored, with a 70-yard pass with 1:48 left in the fourth quarter. Washington had one more big play left in him, as he blocked the extra point.
