Final from WKU at the Rafferty's Bowl.

Love seeing BG start the season off with the win.

Yiiiiikes.

The Bowling Green radio guys were talking about how the Purples offense struggled in this one. Seriously?

Struggled? If they had been running on all cylinders then what.....lol

The Southwestern guys never gave up on this game. They gave it their all....very proud of both teams.

 

Congrats to BG!!!! Our offense could have been better....it is just going to take some time and practice.

 

PH and I really enjoyed seeing Commando again!!! I hope you had a safe trip home and hope you did not see any deer along the way!

Wow...didn't really think SW was going to win this game, but thought they'd be more competitive...

The offense sure got its share of credit, and deservedly so. After a sluggish start, JR QB Scooter Hollis got the Purples roaring on all eight cylinders. But the defense was just short of magnificent. They flew to the ball and took no prisoners. JR DB Michael Bailey won the Defensive Player of the Game Award. On one SW posession, he almost had an interception for a score on one play and almost got a safety on another play. It was next to impossible for the Warriors to get outside.

 

The 52-pt margin was the most one sided margin of victory in the history of this bowl series. The 52 points scored was also a new bowl record. It's a shame because SW played as hard as they could and deserved a better fate than this.

 

I will post the scoring summary later in the morning when I get my paper. BGHS will play in the Independence Bank Border Bowl in Owensboro next week against Daviess Co. In the meantime, cammando, keep encouraging the guys to get better...I hope that the season gets better for the Warriors!

 

Sic 'em, Purple!!!:clap::thumb:

Congratulations to BG on the big win to kick off the 2010 season!

Southwestern moves on to play another "purple" team next week as in the purple and gold of Somerset. Tough color to start their season with but next week should be a better game.

Congratulations to BG on the big win to kick off the 2010 season!

 

Thanx a bunch, jb! Your comments are always welcome here, and way to go keeping up with football back home and across the Commonwealth in your relatively new home!

I just went over some of the official numbers for the game. 41 yards total offense allowed...frightening!:scared:

 

I sincerely hope that the Warriors will keep this as a learning tool and come out ripsnortin' against Somerset next week!:thumb:

I am surprised. I thought BG would win, but I could have never guessed a final of 52-0. SW will have tough match up against Somerset next week.

At the 4:33 mark in the first qtr, JR RB Hunter Neveras (a Greenwood transfer) scored on an 11 yd run. JR K Sam Williams booted the PAT, and the Purples led 7-0. As time ran out in the qtr, Williams hit on a FG from 32 yds out, and the Purples led 10-0.

 

With 8:23 left in the second qtr, JR QB Scooter Hollis ran three yds to paydirt. SR Will Porter ran over the 2pt conversion, and BGHS led 18-0. At the 4:46 mark, Hollis hit JR Brandon Green with a 34 yd scoring pass. The Williams PAT made the score 25-0. With 1:24 left before halftime, JR Will Kilgore scored on a spectacular 68 yd pass play from Hollis. The PAT attempt failed, but the Purples went in at the half with a 31-0 lead.

 

No times were given on the scores in the second half. SR RB Tevin Anderson, more noted for his power running, showed off his quickness on a 35 yd scoring run. The Williams PAT made it 38-0. JR Sam Wilson caught a 17 yd scoring pass from FR QB Devin Hayes. Williams' PAT rounded out the third qtr scoring, and the Purples led 45-0.

 

The final score of the night occurred in the fourth qtr when Hayes ran the ball in from seven yds. The Williams PAT made the final score 52-0, and the second half gave BGHS an opportunity to show off some of the young talent the Purples have. The future indeed looks bright for Purple Nation!
