Third Quarter

We're going to take it one drive at a time for a bit, unless this game gets a little closer.

• Floyd scores for a fourth consecutive series as Sidaras hits John Amato for a 36-yard touchdown on third and 19.
Colonials lead 27-0 with 10:35 left in the third quarter.

• Longwood's punt — looked like it might have originally been a fake — is blocked. Floyd takes over at the Longwood 8-yard line. It's a blood bath and there's still 20 minutes to go.
• Jackolski punches it in on third down from a yard away. Floyd — for some reason — fakes and goes for two to lead 35-0 with 6:40 left in the third.
• Sidaras has completed to five different receivers.

Fourth Quarter

• After both teams punted, William Floyd is threatening to score again at the start of the fourth.
• Subs are in for the Colonials, who missed a 25-yard field goal wide right. Longwood, trailing 35-0, will get the ball at its own 20 with 9:08 still to play.

• Parrish with a 33-yard run, the longest play of the day for Longwood, on a third down and 4 with 7:10 remaining.
• Wess had Billy Hedges open at the 2-yard line but the receiver couldn't hold on for the Lions' first score on a fourth down.

• Floyd adds one more score for good measure on a 2-yard run from Jarel Johnson. Two-point conversion — on what looked like it might have been a high snap — is good for a 43-0 Colonial victory .
