However, before possession was established an Otterbein player attempted to bat the ball forward, resulting in a 10-yard penalty, thus giving Capital an automatic first down and possession of the ball. Capital's punt team struggled all day, and on this occasion the kick was blocked while they were deep in their own territory. With less than seven minutes to go, Capital was forced to punt on a fourth-and-two situation. Penalties were many in this foreseen chippy contest, but one stood out among the rest and turned the tide of the game.

He ended the day with 190 yards receiving on eight grabs. Barnett also caught a pair of passes for two-point conversions, one of those that lead to the eventual takeover of the Cardinals.

Three of those touchdown passes went to freshman wide receiver David Barnett (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee). His performance also served as Capital's first 300-yard individual passing game since 2011. His final line popped off the page with 21 completions on 32 attempts, which was good for 351 yards. Sophomore quarterback Thomas Wibbeler (Zanesville, Ohio/Zanesville) had an eye-popping day after throwing for five touchdowns, a feat that has not been seen since Nick Alexander did so against Muskingum University in 2008. This marks the first time since 2009 the Crusaders have started a season 3-0, in conference. The win bumps Capital's record in conference to 3-0 and leaves them as one of three remaining unbeaten teams in OAC play.

Behind an eye-stopping career performance by quarterback Thomas Wibbeler and a stout defensive stand on the Cardinals' final drive, the Purple and White spoiled Otterbein's Homecoming celebration with a 42-41 victory at Memorial Stadium. WESTERVILLE, Ohio – A rivalry was renewed and streaks were broken in a phenomenal showdown on the gridiron between Capital University and Otterbein University, Saturday afternoon.
