“Good start settles into a by the books tie between two relatively equal teams

1st half was a mad scramble for the ball for most of the half, with the ball changing hands several turns in a row. Eventually, I lucked out when I dodged into 2 TZ, picked up the ball, dodged away and in for the score on turn 8

2nd half was more of a positioning battle, though I did get to the BC a few times as well. However, they eventually got it and away from most everyone...but I was able to get just enough in range to get them to score on turn 7, leaving me 2 turns to try to score. However, an early pow/skull turnover left me with just one player to try and score with. He managed to stay standing and even get closer to the EZ. The pass was accurate, but even with catch and diving catch he could not catch the ball in 2 TZ. (still would have needed the 3+ dodge with no rr to make it as well)

no new skills. No dead players in need of replacing. Except for the 1st block kill to start the game, regeneration worked for both teams.
