3rd Crawfish Bowl
The 3rd Annual Red-White Crayfish Bowl was held Saturday, April 16 at 7 PM. The team was divided into a red and white team, and 4 12-minute quarters were played.
The Crawfish Bowl would need overtime to decide the winner. Just as in 2012, it was a Ryan Mossakowski pass that would determine the winner. In overtime, on 2nd and 10, a Mossakowski pass was picked off by Keith Wilson at the 20-yard line. He returned it 80-yards for the game winning touchdown.
