No joking off, no playing around.”The Pirates’ defense stopped the Wildcats once again with Benjamin Heimsoth (No. 87) and Josh Schindler (No. 24) both getting to the quarterback for a sack.Right after the ball came back to the Pirates, Colvin broke free on a screen pass and ran all the way to the end zone.
