Week 1 Recap, Week 2 Preview

WEEK 1 RECAP

 

Game of the Week: Riley's Vikings (92) @ Campbell's Cougars (90)

 

Amid a storm of controversy, much of which was brought upon himself, Coach Adam Warren managed to maintain the focus of his team and escaped Columbia, TN with a narrow two point victory over Campbell's Cougars. Following a trade veto which left Warren and Coach Daniel Campbell vehemtly upset with fellow league members, members of the media questioned the mindset of Riley's Vikings entering their tough Week 1 matchup on the road. The Vikings never blinked, however, as RG3 put his name in national lights by putting up 28 points in his BHFFC debut. Not to be outdone, the sherriff Peyton Manning returned to the gridiron to the tune of 24 points, putting the Cougars within 5 points of victory with Ronnie Brown left to play on MNF. It was not to be for the Cougars though, as the Vikings' defense stiffened and limited Brown to a mere two point performance to secure the Week 1 victory.

Week 2 Preview

 

Game of the Week: The Can't Beat Anybody's (-9) @ Young Gun Football

 

Two of the highest scoring offenses in the history of the BHFFC lock horns in Oakdale this weekend as The Can't Beat Anybody's travel to face Young Gun Football. Coach Ethan Hudson will have to overcome another unusually poor performance from Aaron Rodgers in order to pull off the victory. Look for Hudson to rely heavily on his twin TE set with Jimmy Graham and Vernon Davis to exploit a weakness in his opponent. Coach Jason Young's squad is off to a great start behind the Packer DEF and will look for Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to continue their Week 1 mastery in leading their squad to victory. This game could easily be decided by Roddy White and Julio Jones and which receiver has a bigger game on MNF.
