Game 1: vs. Cal 38-17 L
California Golden Bears (0-0) @ Milwaukee College Penguins (0-0)
The first game of the season - hell, the first game of the 2004 Milwaukee College Penguins - and we're broadcast on National Television. Is that fair? The nervousness showed as California built up a 31-3 half-time lead.
Some of the low-lights: Bennett (CB #10) returning a punt for 55 yards, which is good sure, but she fumbled it away at the end of the play. Two of the stars in my secondary, Ziegeweid (FS #34) and D. Leplae (CB #16), missed open-field tackles that led to touchdown scores.
CAL threw for 382 yards, which is strange considering that we put some good pressure on their quarterback. We had six sacks! One each from Mikulay (LE #45), Hayden (LOLB #56), Loeb (DT #60), and R. Umali (ROLB #50)). My freshman defensive tackle, Germain (DT #91), picked up two! Hayden was the defensive star of the game for making a key interception that led to the Penguin's first touchdown, a 3-yard rumble by Wetzel (HB #47).
Offensively, I ran Wetzel 15 times; he gave me 45 yards, each one as difficult to attain as the holy grail. His longest one was for 16 years. Ross (QB #1) gave me 121 yards in the air, with Beaumont (WR #81) catching 5 of her 11 completions, the last for a bullet of a TD that finished the scoring at 38-17. Goodman (K #30) scored the Penguin's first points this season with a 35-yard field goal at the end of the first half of play.
We actually outscored California in the second half of play, two touchdowns to their one. I'm hoping we can continue this momentum when we go to Rutgers to face the Scarlet Knights. It's a home-coming of sorts; I grew up in New Jersey.
