I was there on Saturday night. The final score was White 7 Green 6.
It was pretty much a defensive battle.
The two touchdowns happened in the 4th quarter. Mike Ford was the first to score. Ford only had 1 carry in the first half of the game. He waited his turn then finally got it in the 4th. And OH MAN did he deliver. He broke open a run (around 26 yards) and lowered a BOOM on Gatchette on the 3 yrd line. Let's just say Gatchette normally is the one laying people out, well he ended up going A$$ over tea kettle with Ford still standing. Ford showed not only does he have power, in that run he showed that he has another gear he can kick it into when he needs. If this is what he looks like now with still rust on him then watch out. He might turn out to be the best back we have ever seen at USF.
Matt Grothe scored a naked bootleg 3 yrds out. Matt was simply Matt. He really had a great touch on his passes and looked in mid-season form when he was scrambling around.
The Defense looked...well...Lights out.
The only negative was a injury to starting Left Guard Matt Huners. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee.
