The Reapers were still lossless when they came into this one and the Blunts were absolutely desperate to salvage their season, especially after the Ducks got a W on their ledger. Without Oppen this time and having played them close in their prior contest, Blunts had reason to believe. It was a great back and forth game. Reapers were up early, but the infamous skip pass to Prime rallied the Blunts. As for the call itself. We all said the same thing. The ball sounded like it grazed turf, but the visual showed catch. Who knows? Goldberg would argue either way. At some point Zinn showed up with the camera and we have some great shots of the end of this one, prominently featuring this recapper. Yaron to Jordan over the top down the sideline on 4th and long to keep the Blunts alive. Ice Man ties the game on the next play. To College OT we go. On 4th down again, Jordan to the rescue. A drop and then a recovery while sliding in the back corner of the endzone puts Blunts up a score, but tis the season of Mighty. A dump pass from Feit at the 7 has Mighty dashing for the endzone. Ice Man meets him at the 5 and pushes him all the way back to the ten. The Blunts are frozen. Staring and not swarming as we promised ourselves we would. Mighty keeps his thunderous legs churning and Ice Man starts losing his grip. As Mighty slides out of Ice Man’s grasp, the Blunts begin to get over, but it’s too late. Mighty is in and the game is tied. That’s how it ended.
Across the way, Pray beats Gronk in a close one, 6-5. Gronk, as always, spreads the ball. TDs by Kut, Special K, Stats, and Tom. Pray pours in 3 with Ernie, 2 to the Rook and 1to Zada. Wish I had the details on this one. Seems like a beast of a showdown. Jewball to Ernie for the hat trick.
Late game another tie – 4-4. Pray v. Dachs. Dachs does it with Storm, Stats and Ice (and runs one in). Pray throws all of his (2 to the Rook (who is racking up gaudy season TD numbers) on a 4 TD day!, 1 Prime, and 1 BK.
