Phi Kappa Psi 1 defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon 1 39-12 in an epic quarterback battle.
The game didn’t start well for SAE 1 as quarterback Andrew Trompeter, Atchison sophomore, threw an interception to Brian Tagg of Phi Psi 1 to start the game. Steve Blumhardt, Leawood junior, stepped in as quarterback on the first possession for Phi Psi 1 and, after two attempts, quickly threw a touchdown pass to Richard Zahner, Fairway junior.
Phi Psi 1 went for a successful one-point conversion, also caught by Zahner. The score was quickly 7-0 in Phi Psi 1’s favor.
“A small player stepped up big today,” Blumhardt said about Zahner.
Trompeter was quick to respond and ran for two first downs before Tagg intercepted the ball again. Jon Teel, the other quarterback for Phi Psi 1, stepped in after Tagg’s interception.
Teel quickly threw the ball to Blumhardt, who ran the ball to within inches from the goal line. Teel threw a successful touchdown pass to Blumhardt on first down. Once again, Zahner made the one-point conversion a success, extending Phi Psi’s lead to 14-0.
Trompeter refused to give up and ran the ball for as many first downs as he could but was not successful, and SAE 1 ran out of downs.
SAE 1 punted the ball with one minute left in the first half and it landed in Blumhardt’s hands. After an offensive penalty and a five-yard loss, Teel threw a successful pass to Blumhardt for another Phi Psi 1 touchdown.
After they added the one-point conversion, the score at halftime was 21-0.
With his team trailing 27-0 in the second half, Paul Dundee stepped in as quarterback for SAE 1. His second pass was caught by Nick Kormann, who was stopped near the end zone. Dundee followed that up with a touchdown pass to Chaz Rumage, bringing the score to 27-6.
After Kormann intercepted a Phi Psi pass, Dundee went back into action. He ran the ball in for a touchdown, making the score 27-12.
That’s all SAE 1 could muster. With its dominating offense, Phi Psi 1 scored two more times, extending its lead to 39-12 on the last play of the game.
