Recap:

Thoughts and prayers go out to Oilers RB Leon McBean who injured his arm/elbow in the game.

The game was closer than the final score.

Oilers led 9-7 at halftime.

I forget who scored the 1st touchdown. But I think it was off of a short run. Or possibly a td catch from Will Price.

The defense was much better than the final score indicated. They forced 3 turnovers in the 1st quarter of the game.

On the Bucs opening drive they were moving the ball until CB Anthony Goss intercepted EFL Legend Anthony Comer in the endzone.

The defense also forced a fumble on a punt and forced another fumble on a running play early in the game to keep the ball out of Comer’s hands.

Coach Penn this week named Mark Reale the new starting qb for the Oilers. The Oilers had been struggling to score points recently, and he wanted to shake things up a bit.

This is Mark Reale’s 1st season with the Oilers. He has a cannon for an arm and excellent poise in the pocket.

Brockton has possibly the most talented front 7 on defense in the league. They are flat out nasty.

The Oilers offensive line did an excellent job of minimizing the pressure form the ferocious Bucs passrush. The line was led by Oilers co-captain Pete Hogan, who toughed it out and played with a bad high-ankle sprain that occurred the previous week.

RBs Brook Payne and Leon McBean had strong games, my guess is they both averaged over 5-6 yds/carry.

LB Colby Gallagher led the defense. He is having a monstrous season, he’s a tackling machine and one of the most intense players in the league.

The Oilers played with a depleted secondary due to injury and family issues, and Brockton's passing game got it clicking in the 2nd half.

The Oilers trailing 20-9 were driving with @ 8 min in the 4th thanks to a big run from Leon McBean. But unfortunately McBean came down awkwardly and dislocated his elbow. Nasty injury.

The Oilers must have been shaken by the injury to their teammate, because on the very next play, the Bucs jumped a route and picked off the Oiler pass and returned it 85 yards for a td.

The Oilers didn’t give up though, battling back making the score 27-17 with @ 5 minutes to go. TE Vinny Mofford has his first td catch as an Oiler, on a well timed 5 yard pass from Mark Reale. FB Mike Wright caught a 2-pt conversion to bring the game to within 10.

Unfortunately Brockton scored again quickly making it a 17 pt game and out of reach.

WR Will Price had a huge game for the Oilers. I don’t know his stats but he was Reale’s go-to receiver, with numerous big catches, and he had one 60+ yd kickoff return.
