Predators 67 - Ystad 6, Game Recap

Going into Friday night it had been a long week and i as usual had the worry in the back of my mind would this be the day we come out flat. Because of that worry i push our players hard to start fast, play fast and score fast. Speed is our biggest ally and so far it has been the biggest factor in our overwhelming victories. Ystad has some good players but really lacked depth and overall speed to keep up with us. I knew that they would play well if we let them feel that they had a chance.

We start the game kicking to them. Ystad smartly took the ball trying to keep our offense off the field early. But, it was short lived. The ball took a Predator bounce and we recovered a short high kick on about the 40 yard line. I took us 1 play to score after that. QB Phil Juhlin finding WR Mackan Johnsson for a 40 yard TD strike. With that momentum building we began the steam roll and both offense, defense and special teams overwhelmed Ystad. We created turnovers we ran the ball well. Again Phil was outstanding. This time not just with his arm but with his feet. He threw 5 TDs but also ran for 3TDs. Mackan was the WR of choice this week  with 3 TDs. Marcus Dickson continued his campaign of terrorizing opponents QBs with a couple Sacks and Forced Fumbles as well as a Fumble recovery that he returned for a TD in the 3rd Quarter.

This week we have a 3 hour bus trip to Gothenborg. They are a bigger, faster version of Ystad. I anticipate the game being much closer but if we start fast and get an early lead it could get very bad for them as well. Here are some stats from both last weeks 57-0 win over Limhamn and this weeks game. Also i have an up to date season total. Enjoy- Highlight film coming shortly.
