Prior to Marquez's run, Donavan Richardson (Winter Haven, FL) rallied off three rushes, 10-yd, 45-yd and 5-yds. The second one came via a combination of rushes and completions. The scoring play was a 6-yd catch for Jose Guillen (La Pine, OR). On that drive, Richardson ripped off a 10-yd and 20-yd rush while Cooper Larrabee (Bow, NH) had a 19-yd reception.
