Punt Blocked, NU takes over at 5

Diecker completed a pass to Jeff Evans on third-and-four to get the first down on their second drive of the second half. 

Great play by Quentin Davie on the following first down, avoiding a block and bringing Warner down for a loss of three. Malcolm Arrington followed it up by evading an offensive lineman and throwing Warner to the ground for a loss of two. On third down, the Salukis screen attempt was sniffed out by John Gill. 

On fourth down, Jacob Schmidt burst through the line of scrimmage, blocked the punt attempt, and recovered it on the five yard line. Great job by Schmidt, a backup running back and red-shirt freshman, of staying on his feet after blocking the punt before recovering it.
