| Game Summary (Larry Smith, NetFL Press)
The football gods smiled down upon the SC franchise this weekend. A wounded team was provided the perfect elixir, MHD, at an opportune time.
Because, if it had been anyone else but the offensively challenged MHD, every SC player would be changing their ring tones to Taps this morning. Luckily, SC ran into an opponent with much less margin for error than themselves, or they'd no doubt be nursing the losing column with yet another embarrassing loss.
One big reason that SC can exhale today is that MHD was talent-deficient enough to lose control of a game they had a chance to win. They looked so repugnant as they shoved a splitting maul during the game and tossed my sister's Barbie doll collection into a corn thrasher - metaphorically speaking.
The score of 32-5 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd for SC was aided by a ferocious defense, but even larger was the help provided by a reeling opponent that constantly pushed the wrong personnel buttons. No wonder the repugnant MHD have been such a welcome sight in opposing stadiums for so long. SC sure caught them on the right day.
It's doubtful that the SC defenders could have corralled a grandmother strolling across the field with the same ease as they did the MHD quarterback. "Instead of him looking down the field, he was looking to see who was coming," said A.J. Hawk with 16 points on defense, a huge smile on his face. "Let's just say he got rattled a little bit."
Still, SC might not have escaped without a goto player to energize the offense - MHD's very own Rex Grossman. He was relentlessly victimized, continuously torched play after play before the MHD coaching staff mercifully pulled him, as he performed like a spasmodic violinist.
"Picking on Rex Grossman was a part of the game plan," Chad Pennington with 41 points on offense said. "We should have been doing it more in the first half of the game."
How true. When a NetFL team needs a pick-me-up, they can usually count on MHD to deliver. SC leads the all-time series 18-9 against MHD. SC has a 5-7 regular season record (0-1 in this year's playoffs). MHD has a 3-9 regular season record.
Though the game was already decided on the field, apparently neither team was done. Matthew R. Watson shot, "Well, there's murderers, rapists, boy bands, and then there's that owner of theirs... Which is worst? Hard to tell sometimes." In response, the MHD coach groaned, "Like 'em? No... not really. I'd rather strangle puppies in front of a dozen orphans than pull that wretched owner of theirs out of a burning building." |
