GROUP J - Day Ten

Baylor - 35 vs. Massachusetts - 14
Husky Stadium - Seattle, WA

Seattle, WA - When the media asked Group J coaches about playing games in Seattle, Louisiana State head coach Les Miles said, "I love the view there. It's majestic [laughing]. Right on that lake, you really can't beat it.

The problem with Miles' comment? It is a Bay, Union Bay to be exact, and not a lake. However, there was a lake on Husky Stadium Friday night that goes by the name of Lache Seastrunk.

Baylor's (1-0-0/3PTs) oft-mispronounced running back ran all over Massachusetts (0-1-0/0PTs), as the Bears won the game 35-14. Seastrunk gained a total of 282 yards, with 3 rushing touchdowns and a 71-yard punt return touchdown.

The highlight of the night Baylor and Seastrunk came with his explosive 71-yard punt return touchdown in the second quarter. Inside the Massachusetts 10-yard line, Seastrunk shook Minutemen punter Colter Johnson and he collide with linebacker Leo Krizanovic (picture above) as Seastrunk waltzed into the endzone. The image is sure to be remembered throughout the entire College Football National Cup.

"I really was cruising tonight and I felt great after our walk through yesterday," said Seastrunk. "To be able to play in that cool weather is what really helped. Central Texas, where I grew up, is not joke with heat. Really great weather to play in."

Seastrunk wasn't the only Central Texas product to have success against the Minutemen, Glasco Martin, from Round Rock, Texas, was able to score once and pick up 31 yards inside of the redzone.

The game wasn't easy from start to finish for Baylor, early in the first half Massachusetts tied the game at 7-7 and was down 21-14, as well. Credit the Massachusetts offense for keeping them in the game, early at least, by not turning the ball over one time.

Their demise, though, was easily their rush defense. Baylor gained a total of 194 yards and scored 4 of their 5 touchdowns on the ground. Head coach Charley Molnar knew that giving Baylor even a little bit of space would spell disaster.

"Those guys are fast. Do I even have to tell you that?" said Molnar. "You were at the game, right? That Seastrunk kid is the fasted human I have ever seen. I am glad we don't have to see him ever game."

Baylor's quarterback, Bryce Petty, put on quite the show himself, albeit with only a few touches to show for it. Petty only threw the ball 3 times and completed all 3 for a total of 51-yards. After the game Petty, jokingly, said this was the crowning achievement of his life.

"I will be telling my kids about this one day [laughing]," said Petty. "They don't have to know the numbers. They just have to know I threw for 100%. The internet fad will be over by then, right? Just as long as they never know I threw the ball only 3 times."

Seastrunk will get to play in cooler weather again for their next game, as they take on a Boston College (0-1-0/0PTs) team that got their bell rung by Louisiana State (1-0-0/3PTs) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Tigers will ride into Seattle as they take on Massachusetts. Both Baylor and Louisiana State can clinch a spot in the knockout stage, and eliminate Massachusetts and Boston College, with wins.
