Varsity football team romps over Bridgewater College
The team from Bridgewater College may think twice before venturing across the mountain again to play FUMA on our home turf. With the stands filled with the corps of cadets, FUMA's PG football players put on quite an exhibition with their 48-10 victory over Bridgewater.
Cadets cheered as the talented postgraduate football players demonstrated the kinds of speed, moves, and monstrous hits you'd expect from future Division I (and, perhaps, NFL) players.
Jacoby Ford, wearing number 14, lit up the field early, showing speed and agility that may be unmatched in FUMA's long football history. Keep in mind that this is a school that has produced two Heisman Trophy winners and saw FUMA alumnus and current Bengals back Chris Perry almost become the third Heisman winner (he finished fourth in the voting). It was simply impossible to watch Ford run with the ball and not wonder already if we might be seeing our third Heisman winner today.
And Ford was not the only FUMA PG player to demonstrate outstanding talent today. The game was filled with receptions, runs, and defensive stops by a wide variety of players, each of whom is likely to become familiar names as the season progresses.
It will be a long season and one game does not tell the tale, but from the looks of today's performances this is a Varsity team that is loaded with talent and top performers. Stay tuned, this should be fun to watch.
