We got off to a slower start this game. After scoring the first two points we managed to allow DiscContinued to score the next four. Our poaching wasn't effective and we had a lot of fundamental mistakes (turfed throws, drops, etc.). After the reality of a possible loss sank in we stepped it up a bit and took it to half 8 - 6. The second half was more like '06 ORF, where we only let them score twice.
No one seemed very hungry for the skirt during this game. We didn't have any layout Ds, but we did see a couple crucial Ds. Muffin was the first to
don the skirt for stopping one of their strong charges near the end zone, and then the only other person to wear it was Adro for an end zone D. He ended up keeping it the entire second half. Curtis almost took it from him toward the end of the game, but due to a college D (as screamed from the sidelines by Alex) the pass was caught by the persistent intended receiver. However, we then served our opponents up the same fate as Nik did it right back to them, this time for a score... the game-winning score.
Three players shared the MVP award this time: Vanessa "Road Rash" Albrecht, John Fieberg, and Muffin.
