Ballers Embarass Trojans 171-0

BLACKSBURG (BP) -- Coming off one of the biggest victories in franchise history after defeating the Thunder Bay Storm 20-16 the Ballers recorded one of the biggest blowouts in franchise history, a 171-0 blowout of the Los Angeles Trojans. The game featured some of the most mind-boggling statistics in American football history. Including over 1000 yds of total offense for the Ballers, 87 points scored by the Ballers in the first half, and forcing Los Angeles into 9 interceptions 4 of which were caught by the Ballers's Slasher Evans.

"It was one of the most interesting games I've ever played in my career," Evans said who followed his game saving deflection against the Thunder Bay Storm last week with another incredible performance this week. "I appreciate the coaching staff giving me the opportunity to start. Hopefully they recognized that even though we knew this team was heavily underdogged and outmatched by us, that I can still play in big games and start as a cornerback for this defense."

As a whole the Ballers defense was phenomenal. They held Los Angeles to 100 yds of total offense, -11.5 rushing and 115.5 passing. They also had 26 hurries and picked off 9 passes in the game.

"This was one of the more bizarre games I've been in," Defensive tackle Elite Rusher said who had 11 hurries in the game. "It seemed as though these guys just could not do anything against us and it was almost like child's play. I think even our coaching staff was thinking about just stopping the game after the first quarter because it was so bad."

And the entire game the Ballers continued their relentless attack. The offense racked up 1005 total yds, 639 rushing and 366 passing. QB Khari Jones threw 7 TD's and 4 Ballers running backs combined for 15 rushing TD's.

"It was just ridiculous out there," Fullback Russell Roch said who had 125 rushing yds, 5 rushing TD's, and 14 broken tackles. "It seemed like when a guy would come at you and try to tackle you down, they would just bounce right off. Didn't matter if he was a huge defensive lineman or some safety they just could not stop us."

And the game did not stop either. Once the dust was cleared 171 points were put up by the Ballers, a team record. And the Trojans managed to put up no points during the 60 minutes of slaughter.

Next week though the Ballers will not have as much of an easy time as it was against the Trojans. They will face the Forumopolis Fighting Llamas who are currently 8-1 and 3rd in the Canadian AAA#2 Western Conference. The Ballers had an easy time beating the Llamas last year after a 30-16 beating. However with a rejuvenated team and an understanding of the Ballers style of play that beat them so badly, the Llamas will be no joke.
