Oh, and for the record
Lyon Rushing total of two backs = 179 Yards (guess Cupp is mortal after all)
Doom Rushing total of two backs = 158 Yards
Again, good game and hopefully this puts the "superiority complex" Zeta's top teams have had this season to rest.
its nice of you not to mention that you also ran more running plays than we did, and i think it proves our point, since none of the alpha teams that you faced put up those kind of running yards on you guys.
I do believe it was someone on Lyons that made claim to no one being able to hold you under 300 yards rushing and that you would double our HBs output.
Actually here are the quotes that game specifically refuted:
"i believe i can safely predict that cupp himself will outrush any two of your backs combined, and that crash will have more broken tackles than any two of your backs combined. and that yes, they will score more touchdowns."
"zeta's 3 top teams are head and shoulders above every alpha team"
"while cupp obviously would have his numbers toned down in alpha, he can still easily run for 2-300 yards on any defense in this league, save for krakow, the one true great defense that there is in this league."
That's what this game was about. None of those statements came to fruition.
I believed Goldies' claim that they changed nothing...and I believe Lyon played us the same way they played Krakow as well. So, knowing you played us the same way you played the best team in all of WE A Zeta and we held you below your own expectations (and if not for a pick six) had you beat
And if you take my word that we experimented with player settings and an odd defense against a primarily run-based offensive alignment...let's just leave it at GG and move on.... and if we see each other again in the playoffs that game should be just as entertaining with each team playing to win rather than playing to prove a point.
