Football Pulls Away from Dickinson in Second Half, Earns First Win
DAVIDSON — A balanced offensive attack, including a season-high 453 total yards, and two methodical second-half touchdown drives helped Davidson get by Dickinson 28-14 Saturday afternoon at Field 76 and Davidson College Stadium.
It’s the first win of the year for the Wildcats, who improved to 1-2.
With the score knotted at 14-all in the third quarter, the Wildcats put together a 16-play, 89-yard drive of more than eight minutes and capped it with Will Jones’ 5-yard touchdown run. Then, after forcing a Red Devils turnover-on-downs, the Wildcats marched 74 yards in eight plays and made it 28-14 on quarterback Casey Bullock’s 6-yard scoring run.
Bullock had 337 yards of offense, including 44 on the ground, and he finished 29-of-41 passing for 293 yards. He connected with Jacary Lightsey 11 times for 96 yards, while AJ Adams made six receptions for 109 yards.
Jones led the rushing attack with 77 yards on 14 carries, while backfield mate Brodey Berg had 32 yards, including a 1-yard score to give the Wildcats a 7-0 first-quarter lead.
Andrew Frazier’s 8-yard scoring run with 1:54 left in the second quarter helped the Wildcats lead 14-7 at the half.
Dickinson (1-1) did its damage with big plays. Safety Jimmy Mulholland returned an interception 42 yards for a second-quarter touchdown, and running back Dane Sorenson’s 83-yard touchdown run tied it at 14-14 in the third.
Jalen Gist led the Davidson defense with eight tackles, while Robert Jones, Jarmal Gilmore, Ethan Harris and Danzel Chukwuemeka had sacks.
