Adam’s Bengals 3rd game… ‘Nailbiting Finish’!!!

October 1, 2007 | Kid Brag

The Bengals met the 49ers early 9am Saturday morning. Both teams were undefeated. After 4 quarters it was still 0-0.

Adam was host and witness to several tackles that tried to go around his right cornerback spot to NO avail for the frustrated 49ers. The 49ers were really BIG for 11 year olds, having 4 lineman over 155 pounds but they were slow and their offense couldn’t get off the ground. Our key running back Marlon Humphrey was still weak from a virus he had had during the week and had already dropped 3 passes before we went into overtime.

Overtime in this league is as follows. Each team gets the ball on the 10 yard line and has 4 chances to score.

1st overtime Adam’s team went first and failed, the 49ers did the same.

2nd overtime they switch, which means the 49ers went first… their 4th down play they were on the 4 yard line and ran a reverse to Adam’s side. Adam hit the big running back at the 2 and held on being dragged… his team mate Cooper came over and smacked him out of bounds at the 1/2 yard line.

We then took our turn and could get NO yardage for the first 3 plays. Finally coach Humphrey called an ‘unbalanced line right’ and put his son Marlon in the shotgun behind the center. The 49ers compensated and filled in their power players to that side. Marlon took the ball and immediately headed “LEFT” to the weak side.! No one touched him as he breezed in for the TD…. Bengals won 6-0!!!!

Alabama didn’t fair as well against Florida State, Auburn had a great upset against Florida and unfortunately UAB got pommeled by Tulsa.

Adam’s next game is TUE against the Falcons (2-1) and then Saturday against the Saints (3-0).

Melissa (who has become an AVID Crimson Tide fan after years of rolling her eyes at football) will be attending the Alabama homecoming in Tuscaloosa against ‘Houston’ so Bill, stay tuned for firsthand details of that game:)
