In week 13, we saw the Orange county Otters play host to the Baltimore Hawks. The Hawks were coming in to the game after a marginal win over the Philadelphia Liberty. If you were just to look over the stat line, everyone would assume that the Hawks came away with the victory but that was not the case and that’s why we play the game.
First off, Mike Boss struggled. And not in the typical Mike Boss fashion. No, his stat line may be the worst performance in S2. He went 19/40 completing a meager 47% of his passes for a total of 214 yards. He managed 2 touchdowns and his usual 2 interceptions while posting a passer rating under 60. Lucky for Mike, Scrub Kyubee was standing on the other sideline. Considering the Hawks were behind within the first 3 minutes of the game and remained behind for the duration, Kyubee only attempted 26 passes going 16/26 and posting a passer rating of 60.7. He threw a total of 146 yards to his team and threw the ball to the Otter’s Ragnar Kronen once as well. Leave it up to Scrub Kyubee to give Mike Boss the W in this abysmal outing.
The running game for the Otters was normal by their standards. Leroy Jenkins and Vick Bowers Jr. split the workload with 14 carries each and averaging 3.4 and 3.1 yards per carry respectively. Neither back was able to sniff out the end zone this game. Despite being behind for 57 minutes, the Hawks run first offensive game plan remained the same. Darlane Farlane saw the lion’s share of the carries, getting the ball 35 times. He managed to rack up 100 yards but only averaged 2.9 yards per carry. Marcus Robinson added another 66 yards on the ground with his 12 attempts and socred the Hawks lone touchdown during garbage time in the 4th.
The Otters may have the most dynamic wide receiving group in the league. The ball was spread around as Mike Boss found 6 different receivers. Robert Phelps once again led this group with 5 catches for 93 yards. TE George Wright Jr. managed 5 catches of his own for 41 yards. The Otters young, rookie standout, Trey Willie, also had 5 catches of his own and both passing touch downs. This sets a career high for touchdowns in a game for Trey. Bradley Westfield was well covered for the majority of the game and only pulled in 2 receptions for 16 yards. We expect a bounce back game for Phelps. The Hawks receiving group appeared to have a glaring hole that was once filled by the promising talent of Carmel Gibson. Without him on the field, Cooper Christmas and Matthew Vincent became the go-to guys for Kyubee. Vincent led the team in receptions with 5 while Christmas led in receiving yards with 55.
On defense, the Otters secondary was busy. Facing a heavy run focused offense meant stacking as many as 8 in the box. Franklin Harris was active all over the field while accumulating 16 tackles, 3 for a loss, and 2 sacks. Ian Bavitz had 14 tackles of his own and contributed 1 sack. Dominic Verns put Kyubee on his back twice and racked up 12 tackes of his own. Rookie DT Ricardo Sandoval produced a sack of his own being a solid anchor on the defensive line. Through the air, several of Kyubee’s balls were batted down and Ragnar Kronen came away with the lone Otter interception. The Hawks defense was far less efficient. Rafael Reyes was the standout here as he landed the lone sack on Mike Boss and also hat one interception. Eramso Broadway had 2 pass deflections and the other interception to complete his stat sheet.
Looking ahead, the Orange County Otters head across the border to the frozen tundra of Yellowknife to square off with the Wraiths. As the Otters have already secured the #2 spot in the ASFC playoff race, there are little implications for them in this game. The Wraiths however, are tied with the Colorado Yeti in the NSFC and need this win. The Yeti play host to the current divisional leader Baltimore Hawks and should secure this victory easily. If the Wraiths and Yeti win, it would force a 3-way tie in the division. With the Wraiths, Hawks, and Yeti on bye week for Week 15, this is the last chance to secure that playoff seed in pursuit of the Ultimus.
