The Redskins lost to the Eagles last night 27-17, but it was never really that close. When your first four possessions are punt, punt, INT for a TD, and fumble, that puts you behind 17-0. The Redskins offense can't score more than 17 points in a game, so this night was pretty much over in the middle of the second quarter. Four turnovers, combined with no running game and no deep threat in the passing game, allowed the Eagles D to tee-off on the Redskins depleted offensive line as they recorded 6 sacks. To make things worse, Redskins TE Chris Cooley is out for the season with a broken ankle. Luckily, the Skins can't lose next week because they have the bye. It may be the last week that they don't lose a game this season.
Ball State is a 7 point underdog at home against the Ohio Bobcats this Saturday. Ohio is coming off a loss to Kent State and will probably be without their top running back. BSU may have a chance to win this one if they can keep their running game going.
Drew Storen had a bad outing for Phoenix that turned into a decent result last night. He came in to the top of the ninth with a 5-4 lead and looking to get a save. He gave up a lead off double, but then got two outs. He gave up a single to the next hitter that scored the runner to tie the game. Not to be outdone, the Desert Dogs came storming back in the bottom of the ninth. After a pop out to lead off the inning, the next three batters got on base via a single and two walks. The next batter, Nevin Ashley, hit a grand slam to win the game. Storen was credited with a blown save, but he also got the win. Storen is 1-0 with a save and a 1.59 ERA in 5 2/3 innings in the AFL.
