Eight points? That’s an awfully big drop from 53.
Glendale High School algebra teacher (and swim coach) Steve Boyce would confirm with you that's 45 points. We're doing football math. Eight points is 45 points less than 53, and allowing fewer points per game is a good thing for any football defense.
Glendale’s apparent lack of football defense became the butt of a few barbs through the 2015 season. It’s to be expected of a team that allowed an average of 52.9 points and went 5-6. Last week’s 53-8 win at Hillcrest marked the first time since 2012 that Glendale (2-0) held a team below 10 points.
