Candidates for Game balls

¢ Todd Reesing side-stepped and back-stepped the rush repeatedly and had the magic touch, completing 32 of 38 passes for 412 yards and three touchdowns.

¢ Dezmon Briscoe caught seven passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.

¢ Daymond Patterson turned eight receptions into 130 yards and two touchdowns.

¢ Kerry Meier caught nine balls for 71 yards.

Candidates for Gassers

¢ Jacob Branstetter missed an extra point, tainting a night in which he made all three field-goal attempts.

¢ Mike Rivera dropped an interception. OK, so he did play a role in a shutout, but somebody has to run gassers or a team can get soft.
