And they were as big as Crantsville, Roberts added. f Theres a' popular football expression which says that when the running game is going well, the holes " are big enough to drive trucks through.

The junior vanity was idle. THE GROUND game accounted for four of the Mustangs six touchdowns as quarterback Steve Bruce, running back Larry White and Prep of the Week John Witkowski (twice) , crossed the goal line. But as Witkowski announced after his 200 yard plus performance against the Grant sville Cowboys, the credit belongs to the people who created the gaping holes the offensive line. Tackles Jack Engle and Ron Rightweiser (in place of the in- - We also shut off their ground game completely, he concluded. For the record, the Mustangs didnt allow the Vikings to post double-digits with their ground game (in fact. East, Carbon ended the game with only one yard rushing). The passing attack was also virtually nonexistent except for a screen pass in the first half, which the Mustangs have been susceptible to in their previous two games. Explains Roberts, Were young in the defensive line so we havent had the experience in recognizing a developing Lloyd, Mullendore, Engle and Kroff, Witkowski picked up 17 of his 138 yards on two carries game-hig- h before Brace sneaked over from a yard out with 3:11 remaining in the opening period.

If Bruce had to scramble for that last touchdown toss, the tapdancing done in the defensive huddle for a fpw minutes during the second half was frantic. Not simply because a shutout was on the line, but because two fumbles were just the sort of thing the Vikings had been looking for all night. The. first, at 4:25 of the third quarter, did little damage because Engle dropped into the backfield to and do a little dropping of someone else, namely Candalaria for a yard loss. The second fumble, by White two minutes later, didnt hurt either in say hello the long ran because the author a fine night wasnt about blemished any further.

It wasnt that they simply didnt play well; we just blew them out. The Mustangs blew East Carbon out with a kind of game Larsen has been preaching about all year long -consistency.

Witkowski went in from there as the Mustangs built a 21-- 0 advantage. 21-ya- rd wl Braces second straight conversion pass, this one to Witkowski, gave the Mustangs a 23-- 0 lead at the roll-o- ut half.

On the Vikings fourth down punt, Lloyd busted up the middle to get a hand on it. Later on, Engle recorded two sacks and White, though double-- . teamed, grabbed Candalarias arm to force a bad throw Finally, Storwald knocked down a desperation fourth down pass at his goal line.
