SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The University of New Hampshire football team couldn’t overcome a mistake-filled first half and a game-changing performance by fullback Eric Breitenstein.
That lethal combination proved too much for the Wildcats to endure in a 23-7 loss to Wofford in the second round of the FCS playoffs that ended their season Saturday afternoon at Gibbs Stadium.
The Terriers turned three turnovers and four sacks into 13 first-half points and made the lead stand up.
“I thought defensively they played downhill on us,” said UNH coach Sean McDonnell. “They created turnovers and they didn’t let us breathe on offense at all.”
Wofford also outgained UNH on the ground in the first half, 275-23, led by Breitenstein, who was as good as advertised. He rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns by halftime.![]()
