C-BUS ONE STEP CLOSER

WITH A 59-56 WIN ON FRIDAY NIGHT, COLUMBUS CAME 1 STEP CLOSER TOO CLINCHING A PLAYOFF BIRTH. BELOW IS A QUARTER BY QUARTER RECAP.

1ST QTR
IT WAS MATT NAGY TO BJ BARRE TO OPEN THE SCORING AND GIVE C-BUS A 7-0 LEAD. GRAND RAPIDS WOULD COME BACK WITH A TOUCHDOWN OF THEIR OWN BUT MISSED THE XP AND C-BUS STILL HAD THE LEAD AT 7-6. NAGY WOULD FIND HAROLD WELLS FOR 20 YARDS AND THE 14-6 LEAD. AFTER CONVERTING A 3RD AND LONG GR WOULD SCORE TO MAKE IT 14-13 WITH 44 SEC LEFT.
2ND QTR
AN ILLEGAL D PENALTY ON GR LED TO ANOTHER C-BUS TD. THIS TIME IT WAS MATT NAGY TO MARCUS KNIGHT. TWO FALSE STARTS AND A BAD SNAP ON THE XP TRY WOULD ALLOW GR TO STAY WITHIN 7 AT 20-13. AFTER A MISSED FG BY GR C-BUS WOULD RECOVER AND EVENTUALLY SCORE ON A 1 YARD RUSH BY HAROLD WELLS. THE 1 MIN WARNING WAS WILD. GR WOULD KICK A FG AND C-BUS WOULD RETURN THE PRECEDING KICKOFF BACK FOR A TOUCHDOWN BY DAMIEN GROCE. THEN FLAGS GAYLOR WOULD KEEP THE GAME CLOSE HEADING INTO HALFTIME 34-22.
3RD QTR
FLAGS CONTINUED AS C-BUS WOULD ALLOW A TD AND THE LEAD TO BE CUT TO 5. A FAILED ONSIDE KICK BY GR LEAD TO A BARRE TD RUN TO MAKE THE SCORE 41-29. THEN C-BUS WOULD RECOVER THE BALL OFF THE NET AND SCORE ON A NAGY QB SNEAK TO MAKE THE SCORE 48-29. AFTER A GR TD, ANOTHER FAILED ONSIDE WOULD LEAD TO A NAGY TO WELLS TD AND MAKE THE SCORE 56-35 AFTER THE 2PT CONVERSION.
4TH QTR
GR WOULD SCORE A TD AND C-BUS WOULD ADD A FG WITH 8:22 LEFT TO MAKE IT 59-42. GR WOULD SCORE AGAIN AND THEN RECOVER AN ONSIDE TO YET SCORE ANOTHER WITH 50 SEC LEFT TO MAKE THE SCORE 59-56. C-BUS WOULD RECOVER THE NEXT ONSIDE KICK AND RUN OUT THE CLOCK FOR THE WIN.
FORGET THE SCORE C-BUS DOMINATED THE WHOLE GAME. GREAT WIN GUYS DO IT AGAIN THIS WEEK IN COLORADO.
