Puglisi entered the game right away and completed a 41-yard pass during the drive to Craig Dandridge and a 10-yard pass to running back Nate Frazier.
Stockton returned very quickly after a required sideline check. With the return of Stockton, the Bulldogs continued it's run down field and ended the drive with a Dwight Phillips Jr. touchdown run from 15-yards out.
