BUt the Warriors could not tackle and stop the Admirals' speed. The only bright spot for the Warriors was senior RB Dustin Powell, who scored 5 TDs and had 221 yards.

Obviously, since I am a player dad, I will get some crap over this, but as bad as I hated that we gave this game away, I think that there was another bright spot last night besides just Dustin Powell. I saw this same quote in the paper today and after seeing it again, just had to comment.

Zack Turpin, who has been the starting QB for Southwestern for the last two seasons, took the field for the first time last night after breaking his thumb in summer baseball. He had not taken a snap in eight weeks before this week. Playing just six series, roughly half the game, he went 8-12 with 127 yards passing, 57 yards rushing, led four of our five touchdown drives.

Myself, as well as many SW fans who told me so, and the radio announcers on Q97, felt that he had a great first game back and was indeed a bright spot.
