Loyola scores on 5 yard run by Laja, 7-0 LA with 3 turnovers in the about the first 10 min of play. Obviously ball protection is gonna be a big factor with the rain
LA now up 21-0 with 2:40 in the 3rd Q. LA fans breathing a little easier. Weather a factor. Right before the half LA had ball on 6 and did not score in 4 tries. WA then fumbled and LA did not score on two more tries including a blocked FG as the clock ran down. It was still just 7 zip at half. Were the Rambler players looking past WA to Stevenson? I bet the coaching staff adjusted their focus at halftime.
Perhaps Rambler, most of the kids are pretty level headed, I just think the weather is the big factor as it usually is around playoff time (I remember the soak fest at 8a finals at UofI against the Brook and just getting drenched there). Both sides are having trouble holding on to the ball. With many WA playing both sides LA will pull away just through sheer attrition I think.
