D’Eriq King had an amazing first half performance that included two touchdowns through the air and another one on the ground, once again showing off his athleticism. The Pirates defense had no answer for anything he threw at them, giving up under just eight yards a reception through 16 first half attempts.
When the game struck halftime and I decided to go grab some food, I wasn’t too worried going into the third quarter. A 21-3 halftime lead is around where most people turn off the game because it’s been nothing but a shellacking anyways. The Cougars offense was rolling and the only points given up by the defense was a field goal in the middle of the second quarter.
