Well that was quite the doozy of a game. Something that I certainly don’t wish on anyone. Well, the winning part I definitely wish on us. And the painful losing is something I wish on the teams on our schedule. I guess I lied and I do wish these types of games on folks.
Anyway today’s Game Balls are going to be a visual medium. Mostly.
Game Ball One:
Taylen Green
20-34 passing, 211 yards and one passing TD. That TD is below. He did run one in for a TD. Also his defensive prowess cannot be overstated.
Not sure how he does it but TG10 just keeps getting better and better with his throws.
Game Ball Two:
JL Skinner
I’ll let the video speak for itself.
Agent Zero is a baaaaad, baaaaaaaad, maaaaaaaaaaan.
Game Ball Three:
George Holani
Mr. Holani had a really strong night despite no touchdowns (that counted). He had 132 yards rushing on 20 carries. Pretty solid night.
Game Ball Four:
Scott Matlock
The Big Red Machine from Homedale, Idaho didn’t have many stats, per se, but Mr. Jay ‘Boom’ Tust put together a very fine argument.
Going to miss that guy when he plays in the NFL.
Game Ball Five:
Ashton Jeanty
He was thisclose to a century mark (91 yards rushing) but he did have this sweet run.
Your Turn
I know I left off a bunch of potential Game Balls. Who else needs one?
Billy Bowens?
Jayden Clemons!
Let’s not forget Taylen Green’s game saving tackle.
When I saw Taylen chasing down that lineman, I thought, ‘you’re going down.’
Jonah Dalmas. His kick was the margin of victory.
Skinner for sure! How many guys get to make a game-saving play – twice within 70 seconds?
For a minute it looked like Holani wanted to climb into a hole. Really felt bad for him. Such a great competitor and so great when it comes to ball control.
Game ball for Kaden Dudley. His Kick-off returns were great. Every drive started around the 30. I hate touchbacks! I also hate returners that hesitate. It has been a while since we had a guy back there that looked like he wanted to take every kick to the house. Here’s to hoping he breaks one against Utah State or more importantly against Fresno.
