The linebacker stepped in on a third-down tackle that dropped that ball carrier for a one-yard loss and summoned the punt team onto the field. With Merrimack moving into Bryant territory on a second-quarter possession, Perryman forced a fumble that was recovered by the Bulldogs at their 32-yard line. With Bryant protecting a 14-7 lead late, and Merrimack’s 2:00 minute offense on the field, Perryman dropped the passer for an 8-yard loss on a 2nd-and-6 play.
