Week 4
Our Game : NC State (1-1) at #15 Indiana (1-0) (-6) on TV3
Our classic out of division rival is coming home this week and TV3 is welcoming this matchup with their cameras !
We both punt on our first possession and later, NC State goes for it on a 4th and long and of course is stopped ! Ball back to Indiana. We are forced to punt again. The weather is very bad and the field is very slippery. RB Wittich struggles early in the game. 2 minutes later they enter our end zone for a TD : 0-7. Next kickoff, RB Wiitich returns the ball 85 yards ! Woaw ! We are on their 5 yard line. RB Wittich runs a trap for 5 yards and a score : 7-7. We then both punt before Q1 ends. Then on our first Q2 possession, Vallery takes control of the air and finishes with a QB scramble : 14-7. The next action sees our defense step up and OLB Wasserman grabs the ball with an interception. 3 RB Wittich runs later : 21-7. Right before halftime we manage to hold them to a FG despite their 4 goal line attempts : 21-10.
Q3 Starts with another punts exchange and then when we ge the ball again, our star offensive trio (QB Vallerry, RB Wittich and WR Bertram) shows the public perfect football that is concluded by RB Wittich : 28-10. Q3 was running easily when RB Wittich fumbled the ball on a hard tackle and loses the ball to NC State defense. Our defense once again holds them to a FG : 28-13. Later in Q4 we were having anothergreat drive when RB Wittich fumbled the ball (commentator said it was mainly due to the poor weather in Bloomington = showers today !). Later in the game, we score a FG by Cash and another defensive TD by backup CB Bergmann : 38-13 Game over.
