Network: CBS
Announcers: Lindsey Nelson, Steve Davis
Format: DVD (3 disks)
Quality: 6.5
Notes: Commercials and halftime edited out... First half quality is about 8.0, but quality drops off with reception issues in the 2nd half... Typically, I wouldn't bother, except this may be a rare item, originally converted from a master recording that contained the same picture issues.

Game Notes

Top-seeded Eastern Kentucky Colonels hold off Delaware for a 17-14 win and Division 1-AA championship in the Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls.

Eastern Kentucky jumps out to a 17-0 lead and then withstands a 4th quarter rally by the Blue Hens. Richard Bell returns a blocked FG 77 yards for a TD in the 1st half, and then the Colonels convert a fumble into another TD and a 17-0 lead early in the 2nd half.

Delaware rallies with a 20-yard TD pass from halfback Kevin Phelan to Mark Steimer and then Rick Scully hits Tim Sager with a 5-yard TD pass, but his final pass ralls short.
