DeJean then connected with Treyten Kolar on a 35 yard TD pass to take the lead back. Peters would then get a key interception to set up the Falcons at the Osage 20 yard line and four plays later Diersen ran it in from eight yards out and the Falcons led 27-16 with seven minutes to play. Osage scored on the ensuing possession to pull within 27-22, their two-point conversion failed. The Green Devils attempted an onside kick but it was recovered by Andrew Parks.
