The Bulldogs saw their 13-point fourth-quarter lead evap­o­rate on Saturday as the Indianapolis Greyhounds scored 17 unan­swered points to steal the victory.

Ferris is 5–4 over­all and 5–3 in con­fer­ence play after los­ing its third con­sec­u­tive game on Saturday. The Bulldogs had won five straight con­tests prior to their cur­rent los­ing streak.

Ferris led 33–20 after three quar­ters of play and looked to have its sixth vic­tory all but locked up. The Greyhounds ral­lied with 10 points to cut the Bulldog lead to 33–30 with 5:28 left in the game. After Ferris failed to keep the chains mov­ing, Indianapolis marched 67 yards for the game-winning score with less than a minute left.

Bulldog junior quar­ter­back Tom Schneider led team with 24 of 31 pass­ing for 207 yards and no inter­cep­tions. Sophomore run­ning back Skyler Stoker racked up 88 yards and touch­down on eight carries.

Seven Bulldog fum­bles and 70 penalty yards ulti­mately cost the team in the end.

Ferris returns home on Nov. 6 as it will take on the Michigan Tech Huskies on Senior Day, the final home game of the reg­u­lar sea­son. Michigan Tech knocked off nation­ally No. 1-ranked Grand Valley State 20–17 on Saturday. The Bulldogs are tied for fifth in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference stand­ings fol­low­ing the loss. Michigan Tech is tied for sec­ond with a 6–2 con­fer­ence record.
