Reserve quarterback CJ Yurchak of the Cyclones turned in an impressive performance as the CYCLONES rolled over the FRESHMEN PHENOMS in a 27-8 victory. On a day when the starting QB was missing from the CYCLONE’s lineup, Yurchak picked up the slack, throwing 4 touchdown passes. While some players might use big games to boost their own egos, Yurchak was refreshingly selfless in praising the win as a team effort. “It’s all about teamwork,” he said. “One guy doesn’t show up, you’ve gotta stand up and play your part.”

While Yurchak was satisfied with his performance as the emergency quarterback, he is not looking to stir up a quarterback controversy when the starter returns next week. He said, “I’m gonna move back to my primary position at wide receiver.” Yurchak added, “We might have to revamp our offensive system, throw in a few trick plays.”

On the receiving end of most of Yurchak’s completions was his brother Paul Yurchak. Paul caught six passes and recorded an interception that led to the CYCLONE’s first touchdown. The Yurchaks are comfortable playing alongside each other. According to Paul, their comfort level is attributed to “years and years of playing in the streets.”Also, Bob Sloan stepped up for the CYCLONES, catching a touchdown pass and grabbing an interception.

While the PHENOMS didn’t put up much of a fight, Quarterback Dave Lorenzo managed to get the ball in the end zone one time to avoid the shutout. Ironically Lorenzo’s pass was caught by PFFL Marketing intern Anthony Narret. Narret put down the camera and picked up a flag belt as a favor to the undermanned PHENOMS who needed a fourth player. Looks can be deceiving and maybe the CYCLONES took a play off because Narret wasn’t dressed to do battle.

According to the intern-turned-football star, the CYCLONES failed to cover him on the scoring play “because they [PHENOMS] did not previously throw me the ball, so the defense didn’t cover me as tight as they normally would a regular player.” That blemish aside, the CYCLONES impressed in their big win.
