Bishop placed a punt at the five-yard line in the first quarter and YSU eventually took over at the Salukis' 35-yard line. The drive resulted in the Guins' first touchdown of the game and tied the score at seven.

    Two of his kicks in the fourth quarter made the biggest impact. After a YSU drive stalled at the SIU 39, he knocked a punt out of bounds at the Saluki four-yard line with 11:08 remaining. The Penguin defense held and the offense moved the ball 54 yards for the game-tying score with 5:01 remaining.

    His ensuing kickoff placed the Salukis at their own 15 and the defense was able to intercept a Nick Hill pass at the 30-yard line to set up the eventual game-winning score.
    Bishop had four punts for an average of 35 yards, including a long of 45 against SIU. The Salukis were held in check with no punt return yardage. Last year, SIU had 90 yards on two returns including a return for a touchdown by first-team all-league returner Craig Turner.
    The Penguins lead the Gateway in net punting at 34.9 yards per kick.
