This week's gameballs are going to our trio of Running Backs in Parker, Bettis, and Haynes...and additionally to our entire Defense who pitched a shutout against the Brownies. Bettis carried the ball seven times for 24 yards and a touchdown, Haynes ten times for 57 yards and a touchdown, and "Fast Willie" Parker 17 times for 130 yards and a touchdown. Our rushing attack chewed up 209 yards on the ground and averaged six yards a carry.
Our Defense held the Brownies to 55 yards rushing and only 178 yards of total offense. Charlie Frye was sacked eight times for a loss of 60 yards. We have been killed on allowing other teams to convert on third downs all season. On Saturday we only allowed the Brownies to convert on 2/16 attempts on third down. Larry Foote led the defense with eight solo tackles, one assist, and one sack. Clark Haggans had five solos, an assist, and a sack. Keisel had two sacks, Porter three, and Townsend a sack as well. Hats off to the Defense. They are starting to show a little "swagger".
