Westerhaus earned his first collegiate victory under center in what was his second straight start in place of the injured Mike Croce. The freshman quarterback, who saw his first-ever collegiate game action in a Week 1 setback at Maine, threw for two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lift the Bulldogs past American International. He finished 10-for-13 passing for 103 yards and came through in the clutch. With Bryant trailing 16-13 midway through the fourth quarter, Westerhaus engineered a 10-play, 90-yard drive that he capped with an 11-yard scoring strike to senior tight end Matt Tracey.
