Scored Touchdowns

There was an offensive explosion Friday night at Scripps Ranch High School. The scoring frenzy left one casualty: the Orange Glen defense.  Scripps Ranch lit up the scoreboard all night long scoring a season high 63 points.

Orange Glen fought hard, but Brennan Clay and the Scripps Ranch offense were too much to handle.  Routing the Patriots 63-34, the Falcons (6-5) soared their way into the quarterfinals of the Division II CIF Playoffs, where they will face Lincoln.  Clay, a University of Oklahoma commit, looked spectacular rushing for over 150 yards with two touchdowns; all in less than two quarters of play.

The Falcon offense was firing on all cylinders throughout the game.  In the first half, Scripps Ranch got into the end zone on all but one drive.  After trailing early 14-7, the Falcons quickly rallied and entered the half with a 42-14 lead.  Déjà vu struck in the last 42 seconds of the half when QB Jake Fish found WR Jeff Brown for two 10-yard TD strikes.

“Tonight we came together and played well, these past few weeks this offense has been out of sync,” said Clay post-game.  “We finally got this offense clicking.  With the offense clicking it brings the defense together and makes them play harder.”

Damn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.

The San Diego State Aztecs lost Saturday afternoon to the No. 1 team in the country. You think I care what the polls say? You think it bothers me that every so-called expert in the nation would disagree with me?

To them, and to the rest of the college football world, I would say this: prove it. And you know what? They wouldn’t be able to do so.

The TCU Horned Frogs (now 9-0) are No. 1 because of everything they displayed at Qualcomm Stadium in dismantling Brady Hoke’s improved Aztecs, 55-12.

There isn’t one thing in the game of football that this team doesn’t do well — very well. There isn’t a single weakness. Except, of course, for the fact that in the B.S. world of the BCS it would be impossible for anyone to come out and admit that a little-old team from Mountain West could beat the “big boys” from the SEC or Big 12.

Hogwash.

Just last season, Alabama from the SEC spent nearly the entire season at No. 1, lost a hard-fought conference title game to Florida, and then was sent to the Sugar Bowl to play a Utah team that wasn’t supposed to be able share the same field with the Crimson Tide.
