WEEK 14 GAME @ UCONN - LAST REGULAR SEASON GAME OF THE YEAR

I CANT BELIEVE HOW FAST THIS SEASON HAS GONE, ITS ALREADY WEEK 14 AND THE PIRATES ARE GETTING READY TO PLAY THEIR LAST REGULAR SEASON GAME OF THE YEAR SQUARING OFF AGAINST THE UCONN HUSKIES.

TRAVELING TO UCONN WE EXPECT IT TO BE A COLD GAME HOWEVER WE EXPECT THE ACTION ON THE FIELD TO BE HOT! ALTHOUGH UCONN HAS NOT HAD THE YEAR THEY HAD HOPED FOR, WE DONT EXPECT THEM TO LAY DOWN FOR US ON SENIOR NIGHT!

FROM THE KICKOFF YOU COULD TELL THIS WASNT GOING TO BE AN EASY GAME FOR THE PIRATES. IT TOOK THE PIRATE OFFENSE MULTIPLE CONVERSIONS OF THIRD AND LONGS TO GET INTO SCORING RANGE AND FINALLY CAP OFF THE DRIVE WITH A TD. AFTER THAT FIRST DRIVE HOWEVER BOTH DEFENSES WOULD HOLD STOUT AND NO OTHER POINTS WOULD BE SCORED! LEADING 7-0 AT THE HALF WAS NOT WHAT THE OVER BETTORS HAD IN MIND FOR THIS ONE, BUT FOR COACH FALK AND THE PIRATES, IT WAS JUST FINE.

THE DEFENSES SHINED IN THE FIRST HALF AND THE PIRATES ON THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE SECOND HALF FORCED A THREE AND OUT, WITH DAMEL HICKMAN AWAITING THE PUNT FROM THE UCONN HUSKIES. DAMEL HAD FLIRTED WITH RETURNING A PUNT ALL YEAR BUT COULDN'T QUITE GET THE RIGHT RETURN SET UP, HOWEVER THIS TIME, WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY. NOT ANY OF HIS 4 INJURIES THIS YEAR WOULD STOP HIM FROM GETTING TO THE END ZONE THIS TIME AND GIVING THE PIRATES A 14-0 LEAD THAT THEY WOULD NOT LET GO OF.

HOLTON AHLERS AFTER A EARLY GAME INT SETTLED DOWN AND BECAME THE HOLTON WE ALL KNEW HE COULD BE, TAKING OVER THE GAME, MANAGING THE PLAYS, MAKING THE RIGHT READS AND ADDING TWO MORE TOUCHDOWNS TO THE PIRATE LEAD (1 PASSING AND 1 RUSHING). IT WAS NOW 28-0 AND THE SUBS WERE COMING IN FOR THE PIRATES ENDING UCONN'S CHANCES AT A SENIOR NIGHT WIN. RANDY EDSALL FINISHED THE SEASON AT 2-10 AND HIS SEAT COULDN'T BE HOTTER.

THE PIRATES HOWEVER FINISHED THE REGULAR SEASON 7-5 AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR FIRST BOWL GAME UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF COACH FALK III!

INJURY NEWS:
ANOTHER OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FACED A SLEW OF INJURIES THIS GAME. C BRANDON PENA, SENIOR, STRAINED HIS ABDOMINALS IN THE FIRST HALF ONLY TO RETURN AND STRAIN HIS SHOULDER. THIS IS THE SECOND INJURY TO AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN THIS YEAR, AND COUPLED WITH OUR ALREADY BEING DOWN THREE LINEMAN DUE TO SUSPENSIONS AND DISMISSALS, THE OLINE WAS WEARING THIN. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE ZERO SETBACKS FOR THE BOWL GAME.
