I was proud of my boys tonight. Before this week, we were the worst rushing defense in the nation. Tonight, the eighth best offense in the nation was held to -2 yards rushing in the first half and only 53 yards in the second half. Granted, Lindley was able to pass on us several times, but our new Bronco coordinated defense was able to make big plays when they really mattered and ultimately won us game. The offense also started showing signs of life. JJ DiLuigi was our leading rusher but had a great supporting cast with Bryan Kariya and Josh "Juice" Quezada (as a side note, every time Quezada ran the ball tonight fans were yelling "Juice," not "boo.") Jake Heaps is getting better and better at QB. I love JD Falsev returning punts and I loved the Matt Marshall fake field goal along with some option plays. Still disappointed with some of the play calling by Robert Anae, but overall he called a decent game today. It's going to be a long week getting ready for TCU, which could be ranked #4 by next Saturday. Should be a good game. I'll give my prediction on that later this week.
The other victory we had today was our intramural frisbee team. We won the game 12-3. I had a couple touchdown catches along with one touchdown pass that was very athletically caught. With that win, our team goes to 3-1 on the season.
Unfortunately, the only tarnish to today's sports happenings was the Minnesota Twins getting swept by the Yankees. The Yankees have now beat the Twins 9 games straight in the post season. Call it a curse or bad luck, but it really was just sad to see a great team get humiliated at home and then travel all the way to New York just to get nails pounded into the coffin. Hopefully we'll have a good team next year, but the Twins have a tight budget and rely on raw talent in younger players. We will see what happens.
