The Steers were picked off five times with two of those returned the other way for touchdowns in the final quarter to make the final deficit seem a lot more than it was through three quarters.
“We just had too many turnovers and those two interceptions down deep in their territory really knocked the wind out of us,” TC coach George Cumby said. “Bacone is too good a team to give them anything and we give them the ball six times and twice they scored on the plays, so we have just got to stop killing ourselves with the fumbles, tipped passes that turn into interceptions; and I am still really disappointed with the penalties and the discipline that goes with that.“You expect those things early in the year but we are still making some very fundamental mistakes that keep getting us beat.”
The Steers led 3-0 on a Erick Trigueros 29-yard field goal, but it was short-lived as Bacone answered with a 19-yard scoring strike from Kyle Coogan to Jamaal Surrell.
As the first quarter was drawing to a close, TC was on the drive again, but an interception on the first play in the second frame was the first of many miscues the Steers would serve up to Bacone. Nick Cannon converted the first of his seven extra points.
