October 31, 2020 | David Burnworth
This game had a little bit of everything Long pass, long runs. hard hits questionable calls, questionable play-calling, sloppy play, and borderline dirty play by one team. When all was said and done 7-points would separate these two outstanding teams and 21-yards. Watching the two teams warm up I thought to myself that Max Rocco […]
