The Bluffton University football team hosted Franklin College for its first of two matchups with the Grizzlies this season on a warm Saturday, Sept. 21. The Grizzly defense came up with a huge turnover late in the fourth quarter that would help seal the 34-19 victory over the Beavers.

After 13-plus minutes of scoreless football in the first stanza, Franklin would get on the board first when Austin Grunden rumbled in for a 9-yard touchdown to put the Grizzlies up 7-0 with 1:16 remaining in the first quarter.
