The final score of this Week 10 matchup (37-8) between the Syracuse Strong and the Ithaca Warriors doesn’t truly indicate how close this game actually was.
In Week 9 the Monroe County Sting utilized a ball-control offense to limit the Strong possessions and shorten the game. The strategy worked and the game came down to the bitter end on a goal-line stand.
The Ithaca Warriors utilized a similar game plan focused on a running offense primarily through the quarterback.
Sadly the team shot itself in the foot too many times and the Strong made them pay for it:
- Shanking punts.
