Quite the shootout between Tigers and Bulldogs, 24-24 halftime is not a common occurrence.
Come on Blue Ox, let's stop the Gaels here and now.

That's the kind of shootout, high scoring football that L.A likes to see. Hope the Hornets defense can quiet them down or we're in deep sh-t

Here's the exciting second round!

1965-66 Semifinals - Los Angeles Tigers at Philadelphia Hornets

Much like LA’s previous game, the Tigers jumped to a very fast start. Before too long QB Kieth Lincoln found WR Val Goodman for the 7-0 lead. Much to their hope as well, Philadelphia decided to match their pace. Pretty well at that too. QB Oscar Washington would manage to lead his team to a score, tying things at 7 when RB Tom Fowler dove into the endzone. This scoring frenzy would continue, LA would hit a field goal towards the end of the quarter and Philadelphia would acquire a short lead with a second TD before LA would take it back with one of their own. The scoring would finally stop when LA would stop the Hornets on the last drive of the half. The two teams would go into half, LA leading 17-14. 

The scoring would slow down after the break. Both teams would exchange punts to start out the half. Philadelphia would then turn it over on their second drive of the half. On third and deep Washington hopelessly looked to a man in double coverage that would be picked off. Their defense would step up however, limiting the damage to only a field goal. This would set them up perfectly because as the third turned to the fourth they started off on a potential game winning drive. Taking up half of the quarter, Washington and Fowler inched the team down the field and capped off the drive with WR Florence Short receiving a pass in the end zone.There was still enough time left for an LA comeback attempt however. Now down 21-20 the Tigers started their way down the field. With over a minute they breached the red zone and field goal range. Many Hornets fans started leaving the stadium but this was for no reason because the Hornets defense held strong. With about half a minute left the Tigers lined up for a field goal. With the weight of the season on the line, everything came down to the ball cutting through the air. Hornets fans let out a huge cheer when the ball would miss the uprights by a foot or more to the left. The Tigers had kicked their chances to make it to a third straight Bowl away and the Hornets would be returning to their first in nearly a decade. The final score was 21-20.



1965-66 Semifinals - Boston Gaels at Minneapolis Blue Ox
On the other side of the bracket we had Minneapolis hosting Boston. The reigning champs started off on offense but wouldn’t get far. In fact neither team made much progress in the first quarter. Both teams defenses shined as each of their first offensive possessions were short winded and resulted in punts. Boston would get the ball back but would only get a field goal as the quarter came to a close. The second quarter was a bit more exciting. The Blue Ox, led by QB Eugene Addams would retaliate with the first TD of the game. QB Donald McCloud would also lead his team down and take back the lead with a TD for Boston. Finally, Minneapolis would attempt to put together a quick drive but would come up short. A long field goal attempt would be a hair and a half short. The game went into halftime, Boston leading 10-7. 

The two teams would continue battle in the second half as Minneapolis would keep up the pressure by immediately coming out and putting up a field goal to tie the game up. Boston would end up punting on their next drive but so would the Ox. Boston would get started on their next drive before RB Stevie Parks would have a rare fumble that Minneapolis would pick up and carry into the endzone. But as the third turned into the fourth, the Gaels shifted into another gear. They would make up for their turnover with a quick TD. They would then pick off Addams that would set them up for another TD. Before long Minneapolis had watched yet another postseason game slip away from them. Their comeback attempts would come up short and the reigning champs would be headed back to the Champions Bowl. The final score was 24-17.



Here's the bracket:

Philly is winning over boston, but I might be biased. My mom used to live in Philly. It's always sunny there.
