Box Score Jewell football, looking for its first win of the 2015 season on the road at Saint Joseph's College in the Great Lakes Valley Conference football opener, will look another week for a winning combination after falling to the Pumas 34-9 on Saturday.

Not that they didn't have chances to pick up a win, as a 13-9 deficit starting the fourth quarter became a hill to steep to overcome following three turnovers and three Saint Joseph touchdowns in the final period.

The Cardinals were down just 6-0 late in the first half when Brandon Womack hit a 34 yard field goal just before halftime, a half that saw both teams struggle on offense and struggle to keep their composure following several personal foul calls. In the third quarter, the Pumas and Cardinals traded touchdowns to set up a wild final 15 minutes.

Jewell's touchdown came on a Nick West to Bulla Graft 17 yard pass play with three seconds left in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter began with the Pumas scoring another touchdown, but, with the Cardinals moving the ball well, a fumble gave the ball back to Saint Joseph at midfield and the Pumas scored another touchdown, making it 27-9 with 6:22 left.

Jewell moved the ball down the field well one more time, but an 85-yard interception return sealed the game for Saint Joseph, who also picked off another pass late in the quarter.

The Cardinals managed just 288 yard of total offense, and Saint Joseph had 394. Anthony Mullins had five receptions for 77 yards, including a tremendous grab of a deflected ball in the third quarter for 41 yards.

Parker Wood collected 12 tackles, while Isaac Dozier had 11. ,Andrew Baxley blocked a punt for the Cardinals.

Jewell returns home next week for a noon kickoff against McKendree University.
