[CyYoung]

Huge game this week. Rematch of last year conference championship.

Tulsa is an awesome team and I need to win this game to prove my players we can beat them.

Go Lions

[tarcone]

Yep, Monster game with playoff implications. I am hoping we can outscore the Lions. That seems like it will be the only way we win.

But as everyone knows the Hawks play great in Happy Valley.

[Suicane]

Is it sad that all I wanna do at this point is make sure the bastard who has my #1 pick doesn't get top 10 out of it?

P.S.: Not really a bastard. More like a jerkface.

[JesterBlaze]

Game of the Week = Game of the Year.

[Matt]

I'm hoping the little horsies from Salt Lake City help me out this week. Not feeling too confident about playing Texas with Chung back at the helm

[Jave]

I just hope Lansing doesn't set an all time IFL record passing against us. Is that to much to hope for?

[JesterBlaze]

Two of the IFL's best draft picks ever lead the offenses of SLC and LAW. Looking over Vito's roster I'd think we shouldn't have a problem tomorrow. However, Vito squeezes quite a bit of production out of what he's got and somehow always has a successful defense so I have no idea what to expect.

[TimG]

Powerhouse Newark comes to Texas this week. Which Texas team will show up. The team that beat 10-1 Tulsa or the team that lost to 3-8 Georgia. I dont know but it's always fun to find out. You have a nice team Matt and even at home I'm not sure we can compete. GL

[Matt]

Always scard when I play the Trojans. We've had a nice little rivalry going the past couple of years.

[Suicane]

I set my gameplan up to make them beat me on the ground. Man did they beat me on the ground.

[Matt]

wow! What a game!

time to change my underpants

[Matt]

We kick a FG with 5 minutes left to put us up 6. I wasn't very comfortable with that lead, especially with Chung / Watt and co. So they do what they do. Lead the Trojans down the field.
first play

1-10-TEX25 (4Q: 05:10) Clayton Chung pass completed to WR Louis Nafis for 32 yards. Tackled by CB Teddy Fields. Nafis gained 3 yards after the catch. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Great way for the D to start.

1-10-NWK43 (4Q: 04:39) Clayton Chung pass completed to FB Courtney Forbes for 14 yards. Tackled by S T.J. Hanks. Forbes gained 7 yards after the catch.

oh, man..........this ain't looking good.

1-10-NWK29 (4Q: 04:12) Clayton Chung pass completed to WR Andre Watt for 9 yards. Tackled by S Craig Hampton. Watt gained 1 yard after the catch. Texas's Isaac Handley was hurt on the play

there's the aforementioned Andre Watt. Not happy


next 3 plays

Texas: I formation, strength is right. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 2-deep man-to-man coverage, keying aggressively on the pass. 2-1-NWK20 (4Q: 03:45) Brenden Ellard ran around the left tackle for 10 yards. Tackled by S Craig Hampton, assisted by OLB Mack Edwards. Key block delivered by Skip Small.

Texas: Single-Back formation, strength is left. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 2-deep man-to-man coverage, expecting the pass. 1-10-NWK10 (4Q: 02:59) Jorge Benton ran inside the right tackle for 2 yards. Tackled by DT Roman Troutman.

Texas: Pro formation, strength is left. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 2-deep bump-and-run coverage, expecting the pass. 2-8-NWK08 (4Q: 02:16) Barry Battles ran inside the left tackle for 6 yards. Tackled by CB Baa Baa Blackshear. Battles made a great move on Craig Hampton.

so
We hit the 2 minute warning. 3rd down and goal from the 2yd line. I've been to this dance before.

We are then blessed by a False start penalty.

3-7-NWK07 (4Q: 02:00) Clayton Chung pass fell incomplete, intended for WR Joey Kelly. DT Roman Troutman hurried the quarterback into a bad throw.

thank you Roman!!!!!

now, what would you do?

do you go for it on 4th down with 7 yds to go? You still have all 3 TO's.

Trojans HC Donnell Mills opts to go for it on 4th down.

the play of the game!!!!

4-7-NWK07 (4Q: 01:50) Clayton Chung pass was intended for WR Andre Watt and was intercepted by OLB Russell Hennessy in the end zone. Touchback. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Chung tries to tread the needle into Watt, but Hennessy has teh underneath coverage!!!

wow! very fortunate to have won

Great game Tim
