From here quarterback Ron Centerwall completed a 14-yard aerial to Steve Ramsey, and a pass interference call gave the Dons the ball on the Sonoma 15-yard line. However, the Dons were forced to settle for a 27-yard field goal by Urbano Boucsieguez as the offense stalled. The still determined Dons came right back as Center- wall tossed a 36-yard pass to Ramsey to highlight a 58- yard drive to the Cossack 9. Once again the "goal line blues" set in though and a fourth-down pass by Center- wall fell incomplete. An alert Mark Watson got the ball right back for U.S.F. on an interception of an Ernie Simon pass. Centerwall then connected to tight end Randy Little for 9 yards, and five plays later wide receiver Tom Bidegary hauled in a Centerwall bomb for a 43-yard TD (TheFoghorn).
