How does losing to Rochester in week 2 by a score of 38 to 33, then having the game forfeited to the losing team after ineligible players were discovered on Rochester, as happened in this matchup in 2013, entitle a team to claim a running clock victory?Fair question. Here in part isvwhatbI am going on. 2013. Cyclones took 13 running clocks into DeKalb, playing pretty much the same teams as now, and scoring at an almost exactly identical clip.
Pundits, mostly Upstate, were chanting almost the exact words I'm hearing from you now. Weak schedule, bunch of pushovers. No chance against Mighty Montini
Result: First of two back to back undefeated 5A titles, second highest scoring team in Illinois history.
So yeah. I am optimistic.
Perhaps you were thinking of 2014?
