1. 1. NCBB Ssn 21, Game 3

(replay not available)

Short version is that Missou won the toss and chose the ball, and the two 11-man rosters saw the following losses in the first half:

1. 
   T1: Texas Blodge -AV'd
   T1: MIssou DP banned
   T2: MIssou Rookie BH'd
   ...Missou Scores...
   T4: MIssou Rookie BH'd, J-man SI'd, Blizter BH'd (foul)
   T4: Texas DP banned
   T5: Texas MB Witch BH'd
   T6: Missou Rookie RIP'd
   (Missou Wrodger Apo'd back into the game at some point late in half)
   ...Texas ties...

2nd Half, with Texas receiving and enjoying an 8:5 man advantage, an unfavorable Pitch Invasion slowed their score by a Turn, but they chose to push their advantage with a fast T3 TD. They stayed aggressive on the LoS, and a weak-side LoS Kick, plus bad Missou passing dice, meant that Texas recovered, and, especially after BH'ing the Missou Guard and KO'ing another player, had the manpower to stall, pass for a skill and then score at will, despite some 1D blitzes that popped the ball (but had no one available to exploit it).

There was a brief glimmer of hope when a T6 1D Blitz dropped the ball into the Blodgestepper's hands, but a 3d Pow (the first of several possible blocks) returned the ball to Texas, and that was the game.
