Marquette 33, Cadillac 27

MARQUETTE, Mich. — Marquette led Cadillac by 21 points, gave all of it back, and then scored twice in the last four minutes to win 33-27 on Saturday night at William R. Hart Stadium.

The Sentinels (2-2, 2-0 Big North Conference) scored on their first three possessions. Landen Faccio ran in a 1-yard touchdown, Winston Leonard kept it himself from the 2, and Leonard threw 25 yards to Skyler Blackburn for a 21-0 lead in the second quarter.

Marquette did not score again until 3:21 remained in the game. Cadillac (2-2, 2-1) scored on a 10-yard run by Ian Metzger before halftime, an 8-yard run by Metzger late in the third quarter and a 16-yard run by David Nobles that tied it with 9:50 left.

Leonard answered with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Brody Clements, who caught it one-handed in the back of the end zone with 3:21 left. Cadillac went four plays and turned it over on downs. Faccio scored from 14 yards out on third down with 1:12 to play, and Dominic Wing threw a touchdown pass to Baron Hellowell on the last snap of the game.

Faccio carried 26 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Leonard completed 13 of 16 passes for 154 yards and two scores and ran for 34 yards and another.

"We got up. They came back, and we could have went in the tank, but we didn’t," Marquette coach Eric Mason said.

Marquette hosts Escanaba for homecoming at 7 p.m. Friday.
