Talk about two teams going in opposite directions. Yes it is true we had experienced a few bumps in the road leading up to the home contest against the hapless SMU Mustangs but calling SMU hapless was actually an understatement. We scored early, quickly, and often. On defense we did not allow them to move the ball at all. We crushed UConn the previous year 62 - 7 but other than that, I can't think of a game that we so totally dominated in all facets of the game. On a personal note I sat next to a pretty big guy during the first half of the game and I could not help notice the large ring he was wearing on his finger. It turns out that big guy was Jordan McCray and he was very cordial to me. I thanked him for the part he played in the success of the greatest season in Knight football history. I told him that I noticed his ring and kind of figured out who he was (I was 90% certain that it was him and not his brother Justin who plays for the Tennessee Titans). He let me off the hook and introduced himself as Jordan McCray and then proceeded to take off his ring and very graciously allowed me to get a closer look at it. (This is not my photo but this is what the ring looked like). Thank you very much Jordan that was a very special gesture - your parents obviously raised you right.
Back to the game, it was a very wet game that day and the crowd size was a little disappointing, but I guess given the lack of competition that day i suppose many chose not to show up? - Slackers! As expected we took our foot off the gas pedal in the second half (on offense anyway). The defense was just short of a shutout but that's alright we got to put in a group of second team players for some field time. In the end it was definitely two teams going in the opposite direction.
Go Knights! #ChargeOn
