Kenny Sims intercepted a pass in the end zone with 1 minute left to secure the 24-21 win. The Hawks played without starting QB Mark Vlasic, the nation's top-rated passer, and fullback David Hudson, and were replaced by redshirt freshman Tom Poholsky and Richard Bass. Poholsky passed 18 of 29 for 240 yards.
