Week Two Recap (USF vs. AC)
The Cougars (7-1, 3-1 NSIC South) registered their first-ever win against the Vikings (3-5 NSIC, 1-3 NSIC South). It was also USF's first overtime victory since 2001.

The Cougars took a knee with 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime. Augustana won the toss and chose to go on defense first and their defense stood tall, as Austin Luecke picked off a Perkins pass on first-and-goal to set up the Viking offense.

The Vikings quickly moved to the USF goal line and all but had the "Key to the City" in their hands, but the Cougars blocked the 38-yard field goal attempt by Drew Behrens to send it to a second overtime.

The Vikings started with the ball in the second overtime and scored on a four-yard dash by Hanson but USF's defense blocked the extra point and the Vikings held a 31-25 lead with USF taking over on offense.

The Cougars scored on a nine-yard pass from Perkins to Carrington Hanna to tie the game at 31. Braden Wieking nailed the extra point to finish off the Vikings with the 32-31 win.

Perkins connected on 21 of 30 passes through the air for 238 yards with one interception and one touchdown. He also chipped in on the ground with a team-high 71 yards on 15 attempts.

Jeremiah Oates tallied 129 yards on 10 catches. The senior trio of Eric Anderson, Robert Virgil and Matt White registered 12 tackles each, while classmate Nick Bonte posted 10 tackles with a team-high 2.5 for loss.
