The Bulldogs won it due to the first career TD catch forHenderson.


"I was just hoping that I'd catch it," Henderson said. "Idropped the last one and I didn't want to get down on myself forthem to come back and call my number. They gave me a chance tomake a play and I just caught it."

"We weren't executing in the first half," Wilson said. "We didbetter in the second half. We had a couple passes that we couldhave hit, but we just need to execute. That's the difference inthe game."
