Q1 in the books with BC driving and leading 3-0. Ott has almost a 35yd edge in avg field position so far.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

BC drive stalls, Leone to punt. Big one. Williams takes it to the house but it gets called back to Ott15 on a holding call.

Finaly some good FP for BC. Now need to take advantage of it.

D has settled down after a rough opening drive. Look to have found their groove somewhat.

Another 1st & goal squandered. 6-0 BC.

Looks like Harris had broken free of his block on that 2nd down play, but Travis didn't see him.

Not impressed with offense there near the goal line.

Why didn't Arceneaux stay in bounds and try to score?

Walker takes the handoff for a 20yd gain on our D.

Williams takes a pass for 25, another big play allowed.

Ott cashes in on their 1st & goal to tie it with a Sinopoli catch. Make it 7-6 Ott with the convert.

The review of the major is too slow.
