Josh Ferrazzas opened up the second half with a bang for the Devils, taking the kickoff 82 yards to the end zone. Later in the quarter, sophomore kicker Alexis Hernandez showed off his great leg with a 37 yard field goal. But Clements showed no signs of quitting. The Colts’ got on the board in the fourth quarter when Jimmy Marsh broke four tackles down the sideline for a 13 yard score.
