CINCINNATI, Ohio – As fall settled in across Cincinnati on Friday night, Moeller found itself back on the road against Princeton. It was the second meeting between the teams this season, the first coming in Week 1 at Paycor Stadium. The Vikings won that matchup 31-24, and the Crusaders came in looking to even the series.
The action started early when Monsanna Torbert took the first play from scrimmage 80 yards for a touchdown. The extra point missed. Moeller’s opening drive stalled, and when the Crusaders tried to punt from inside their own 10-yard line, Brandon Martin Jr. blocked the kick and recovered it in the end zone for another Princeton touchdown. The Vikings missed the two-point try but led 12-0.
Just as things began to spiral for Moeller, Reggie Watson returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. It was a much-needed answer for the Crusaders. The clock read 10:11. Only a minute and 49 seconds had passed, and three touchdowns were already on the board. They were a warning of the offensive showdown to come.
Princeton outlasts Moeller in a classic…
