When I’m wrong, I’m really wrong.

it should be a good game either way

Shows what I know. That was a stinker of a game. The rain caused no less than 10 fumbles. I don’t mind a high turnover game, but I only like it if they’re real turnovers caused by good plays - forced fumbles, great interceptions, blocked kicks etc. When it’s all because nobody can hang onto a slippery football, it makes the game into more of a crap shoot. Incidentally, that’s why I don’t argue with the call to have Burris try to run the ball in from the 1 - one less person having to handle it. For what it’s worth, had that play been designed to go to Szarka, the result would have been the same - the exchange from center was where the fumble happened, so Szarka wouldn’t have ever seen the ball anyway.

And it’s not just because I have Burris on my CFFL team either.
