Empire 8 in-game updates

[dlippiel]

Bombers being outgained 196-96, and Neumann's thrown two picks. Sort of surprised it's still a game given all the stats being pretty one-sided.

Looks like Neumann is going to need some time to adjust. Anyone have any specifics on Neumann? Is there are big upside? What are his strengths/weaknesses?

With the exception of the 2 picks, Ithaca hasn't looked bad.  The defense had their backs against the wall on the 2nd TD drive that was setup by the INT.  14 points allowed is pretty good considering the two picks.  Score should be 14-7 but the pick in the end zone killed IC.  Hopefully the offense can come out with a score here to start the 2nd or else the defense might start to wear down.

..and they go three and out.  Could get ugly from here.

Botched punt return!  That could be the break IC needs.  Ball at the 40.

Is Welch really punting from the Salisbury 29 on 4th and 8???  I cannot believe he still does this...

Nevermind...someone called TO, they decided to go for it, and got the first...

They punted from the 28 last week and pinned them at the 3.  Big 4th down conversion there.

WICB analyst refers to IC going for it on 4th and 8 from the Salisbury 29 as "risky."   

[bomber3]

Picked up another 4th down conversion, need a TD here from the 6.

Touchdown Sal Sulla! 14-7 Salisbury.

TD Bombers! Back in it at 14-7 - defense needs a stop here to keep the momentum.

Fumble!!!   

[Old IC Voice]

Flashbacks to IC-Union '09 on ICB, when the defensive coaches yelled all over us as we tried to call the game. Fortunately, most recently we heard screams of joy as IC's defense recovered a fumble!

[bomber3]

Fumble!!!   

Yes, Bombers ball again!

[DanPadavona]

Is that 3 fumbles in the 3Q alone by Salisbury?
