Converse Judson vs Wagner at the upgraded Rutledge Stadium......they still have yet to complete the stadium and have some bugs to work out.....but it was nice tonight. They definitely need to repaint Judson's endzone.

After the Cowboy's loss to the Skins....I was hoping for an excellent game from Judson tonight. Well it started off that way. Judson was having its way with Wagner throughout the entire first half. They scored a TD within the first minute of the game, but missed the PAT. They added another plus a 2 pt conversion. Then with just seconds gone in the second quarter, they went up 21-0. Just before the half, they were driving again.....and this is where the weirdness started. Inside the 5 and our RB is fighting for extra yards only to fumble into the endzone....touchback in the final minute of the half. So we had a chance to go up 28-0 at the half, but instead it was 21-0.

Second half starts and our defense stops them and we get the ball back. We score a TD to make it 28-0 (should be 35-0). Then we stop them again to get the ball back. We are driving down the field. We get all the way to the 2. Then on the next play, our QB and RB collide, FUMBLE....the defense picks it up at the 4 and returns it 96 yds for the TD, but they miss the PAT....28-6 (should be 42-0). Wagner kicks off. Judson is driving again. Then, on a play where the runner looked down, they called a fumble and Wagner ball. Wagner drives and scores a TD and 2pt conversion.....28-14. Wagner kicks off. On the ensueing possession, Judson fumbles again. Then, Wagner throws an interception. Then, Judson fumbles again. Wagner drives the short field and scores another TD....28-21. I cant recall which drive....but on one of those two scoring drives for Wagner, they had a very long pass down to the 2 on 4th down negated by a procedure penalty. Replay the down....then the refs called what I felt was a bogus PI call on Judson....the first down kept the drive alive and Wagner scored.....

So 28-21 and Judson fumbles once again....their 5th fumble of the game. The runner once again appeared to be down. This time the Judson defense held. Judson drives down the field to about the 40 of Wagner but has to punt. They pin Wagner at the 2....with less than a minute left. Judson intercepts the pass with about 20 seconds left....game over, Judson wins 28-21. The kid that intercepted it, was the same kid that was called for PI, as well as was beat on a few passes during the game.

This was a game that Judson dominated from start to finish.......except for the scoreboard and the turnovers. Wagner committed like 3-4 turnovers of their own, but none when they were about to score.

I am just glad Judson won the game......but man did it go from Jessica Alba to Sarah Barnhardt in a hurry......


While I was watching the game, all I could think about was Falco and his quicksand comments from the movie The Replacements.......
