Game Recap:
I am sure all Daytona Beach University fans were biting their
nails just after the 2 quarter. The reason being is that Daytona
Beach was down 17-0. That was before a new formation
entered the game, which I think the Falcons will use more often
, as the Falcons rushed for over 260 yards and 5 TD's. Kyle
Hadley and backup Lo Paka combined for 31 carries, 223 yards
and 5 TD's. This combination has never been used before, but
I am sure it will from now on. Hadley had to be subbed in for
certain place because of fatigue and Lo Paka just took it from
there. The two backs tore up SMU's defense like it was butter.
The defense shut down the SMU offense from the end of the
2nd quarter all the way up until the end of the 4th quarter.
The secondary gave up over 300 yards passing, but made up
for it with 3 key interceptions. This was a decisive first conference
win for the Daytona Beach Falcons as they look onto next week
to battle UAB as they hope to start out their C-USA career with
a 2-0 record. The Falcons currently sit at 1-1 (1-0).
