It was the second meeting between the teams this season, the first coming in Week 1 at Paycor Stadium. The Vikings won that matchup 31-24, and the Crusaders came in looking to even the series.The action started early when Monsanna Torbert took the first play from scrimmage 80 yards for a touchdown. The extra point missed. Moeller’s opening drive stalled, and when the Crusaders tried to punt from inside their own 10-yard line, Brandon Martin Jr. blocked the kick and recovered it in the end zone for another Princeton touchdown. The Vikings missed the two-point try but led 12-0.Just as things began to spiral for Moeller, Reggie Watson returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. It was a much-needed answer for the Crusaders. The clock read 10:11. Only a minute and 49 seconds had passed, and three touchdowns were already on the board. They were a warning of the offensive showdown to come.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Princeton outlasts Moeller in a classic40-36 Vikings.
