In the second quarter, though it was the Lions who came storming back down the field to even up the score. Instead of kicking the PAT though the Lions went for two and they converted successfully to take an 8-7 lead early in the second quarter.

Shortly after a familiar face found their way to the endzone for the Wildcat to recapture the lead. Jerron Fisher found an opening in the defense and burst through for a 54yard rushing touchdown to put the Wildcats up 14-8.

Before the second quarter ended though the Lions scored once more and after a failed two-point try, the score was tied at 14-14 going into halftime.
