Rakeville Times: The Name Game

Calvin Johnson struts into the endzone for his second touchdown during a big win against defending champs University of Mexico. The Sophomore has solidified himself as an elite receiver in the conference in the first two games of the season.

It was a game with many titles for the URake Grays. A breakout game for young superstar Calvin Johnson, a shocking upset to the thousands that stood silently at Wildcat Stadium, and a statement game from Rakeville to the rest of the FAC-10. After beating the defending conference champions 68-46, the only thing we know for sure is that Urake is not a fluke.

“I’m not saying we’re going to win the conference championships, but you can’t help but be impressed at the way our young men played today,” said Head Coach Drew Bledsoe. “I’m not sure anybody was looking at our team despite our win last week. Now, you can’t help but notice the talent we’ve assembled here.”

Rakeville took an early lead with a touchdown run by Sophomore Marshawn Lynch. A pair of long scoring receptions by Johns and two field goals by Nick Folk helped stretch the lead while the defense put the Mexico University offense to bed.

“Now that we are winning, the key is to maintain consistency,” said Bledsoe. “It does us no good if a guy runs off three touchdowns in a game, then can’t find the endzone for the next two. It is something JaMarcus Russell needs to learn, and something all our rookies need to learn.”

The Grays next matchup is against Busch University, one of the few teams they were able to beat last season.
