Finding themselves down 27-7 win the third quarter at Allen East, Bluffton put together two comebacks that may very well end up being the biggest moments of the season.

Bluffton put up 270 yards to Allen East’s 350 total, but the only real numbers that matter are the point totals 35-33.

The first quarter was quiet offensively as Allen East scored first with a 15-yard TD toss.
Mitchell Ault, getting his first start of the season hit Drake Luginbuhl on a 9-yard pass to even it up at 7 in the second quarter.
