Duncanville vs. Temple live playoff updates

First quarter

Duncanville wins the toss and defers. Temple on offense first.

Temple gains one first down ... and then a backfield collision leads to a fumble! Duncanville junior KJ Ford recovers. Great field position for Panthers.

Duncanville first play from scrimmage ... 27-yard TD pass from Keelon Russell to Trenton Yancey. Jonathan Batres' PAT is good. Duncanville leads 7-0.

Temple junior Rodney Nelson returns the kickoff 94 yards ... but it's coming back. Wildcats' second possession will begin way back at the 6-yard line.

Temple goes 3-and-out. Punts. Duncanville will have good field position again.

And Duncanville goes 3-and-out. Keelon Russell just missed Dakorien Moore for what would have been a big gain on third down. Moore is perhaps the nation's top receiver, but he's a good punter, too! He just pinned an opponent inside the 20 for the eighth time this season.

Duncanville defense forces its second consecutive 3-and-out. The offense will begin its third drive at the Temple 42-yard line.
