It isn’t very often that your quarterback, and first man to arrive at the field, misses the start of a game. But in the HORSEMEN’s, 20-6, drudging of TEAM UPDAWG, that’s exactly what happened.
HORSEMEN quarterback and PFFL All-Star Dennis “Shor D” Wolford arrived at Cupples Stadium well before his team’s scheduled 10:20 a.m. start. But as the game approached, Wolford was nowhere to be found.
No “Shor D,” no problem, according to HORSEMEN receiver Donald Jenkins.
“We didn’t really have a gameplan for the start of the game, but Guiseppe came in and made some nice passes for us,” Jenkins said with a grin. “Having multiple quarterbacks is a plus.”
The HORSEMEN would have their normal signal-caller after the game’s first possession, but Guiseppe Rosselli took full advantage of his time under center, as he found Jenkins for the game’s first touchdown. Jenkins would score a second touchdown, this time from the sure arm of Wolford right before the half to give the HORSEMEN a, 13-6, halftime advantage.
The HORSEMEN would score on their first possession of the second half to help coast to the victory. For TEAM UPDAWG, it’s a similar story as the talented squad remains unable to breakthrough against top competition.
But according to Jenkins, the HORSEMEN are on the right track.
“Our play-calling and togetherness was the difference in this game,” he said. “We’re right where we want to be, and we were able to capitalize on all of their mistakes.”
