Weird game. Lewis muffs first punt, CS recovers at the 8 and kicks a FG, 7-3 Salem. Turns around next series, Taylor throws a pick (because Allen got tangled with DB and fell). CS begins drive at 1 and make it quite a ways thanks to penalties and whatnot before being stopped on downs. Salem goes into half up 14-3. Must have gotten quite the speech because Salem scores 31 in the 3rd quarter to go up 45-3 including a scoop and score by Chris Cole. Lewis field a punt in the 4th and returns it 60ish yards for his 5th TD. Game never in doubt at any point but I imagine some faces were made by people checking that halftime score.
Some intensely bad refereeing as well. Announced themselves with gusto for much of the game. Clock operator at one point drained about 45 seconds off the clock in the first half when a penalty was called. Fans screamed at refs, Salem coaches heard fans and point it out to refs, refs put a whole 11 seconds back on the clock because not a one was paying attention to the time when the penalty was initially called.
Having Taylor back and already looking phenomenal was great. His best game passing all year for sure, kid was dropping dimes multiple times. No more stacking the box like the past five games.
