Game 2, week 3, year 1
OK in game 1 my starting LE #86 broke his collar bone and is gone for the season. Now going into game 2 which was against the #12 LSU Tigers my starting tailbak, HB #9, has to be suspended for 3 games for multiple team infractions. Also suspended was TE #46 for fighting in practice. Now going into Death Valley is nerve racking enough, much less w/o 3 starters. So i have to admit at this point i was really nervous. But my guys had a wonderful showing once they got going. LSU scored 13 on us in the first half so going into half time it was 13-0. And the guys knew they could do one of two things. 1 go out and roll over and have it be 40-0 or 2 go out and fight since we weren't out of it. They chose option #2. My hat is off to our defensive coordinator who blitzed the Backers like mad in the second half and shut LSU's offense down. But the YSU offense couldn't go anywhere either. Until 2 min left in the game, we forced LSU to go 4 and out and started driving. QB #14 completed one pass after another driving the guys 67 yds into the endzone. After the PAT it was 13-7. The onside kick failed and w/ 60 seconds on the clock and 2 timeouts we shut them down and got the ball back w/ 15 seconds left after the return. So on the first play we got a completion to the side line that went aways takin us to the 50 w/ seven seconds left. We knew we only had time for one play so we heaved to the endzone where they picked it off and ran it bck makin the final score 19-7.
