If anything, the game wasn’t that close. 31-7 was the halftime score and the Lakers out-gained the Thunderwolves 523-157, including 323 yards rushing.

The Wolves totaled 534 yards total offense, 398 through the air. Neither Ashton Broyld or Wayne Williams dented the box score.

It was their 22 consecutive win over Emporia and was secured by a defense that produced 8 sacks.

But I have to wonder about that defense that’s given up 362 points. WEST GEORGIA 12-1 (491-190) Lost 26-28 to Florida Tech.

They won the title in 1998-99, did a Buffalo Bills imitation, losing four straight finals from 2005-2008 and then coming back to win titles in 2009 and 2013. I wouldn’t be against them. (Grand Valley vs. Shepherd will be shown on a tape delay basis on ESPNU at 1Pm Tuesday afternoon).) The Championship game will be on Saturday, December 19 at 4PM on ESPN2 [/QUOTE]
