The 15th-seeded Penguins (8-5) turned it over on downs on their next possession and the Bulldogs reached the YSU 1-yard line with 1:16 left when Pitsenberger eschewed a touchdown and intentionally went down. Kneel-downs took care of the rest.

Next up for Yale will be a trip to second-seeded Montana State next Saturday.
