XII: Hill Valley Outlasts Binghamton

The Hill Valley McFlys perspired a little bit in their quarterfinal win, but ultimately persevered, winning by ample margin. Since taking the starting job emerging from a week eight bye, Kamren Curl has been a difference maker, teaming with fellow rookie Jeremy Chinn to be a disruptive and destructive secondary attack for the two time champions, slowing the potent Sniper offense just enough to continue.

Hill Valley took the early lead and never gave it up, with every offensive starter putting in double digit work, highlighted by the continued emergence of the thrice dropped Cam Akers. That said, Aaron Rodgers, Alvin Kamara, and Mike Gesicki kept pace, and the game within range to make the Monday Night Fourth Quarter interesting. 

Nick Chubb rumbled, and if he had received a workhorse compliment of carries might never have stopped, but tag team partner Kareem Hunt (on the Sniper bench) took 60% of the production with him, ultimately dooming the Sniper's chance to knock all of the former champions off the bracket in one fell swoop. It's still a nice season for Bing, their third playoff appearance in four years- but now all three have been one and done endeavors. Perhaps the fourth time is the charm?

Hill Valley engages with the New Jersey Sanitation Crew this week, with the victor headed to Larkspur Bowl XII. Binghamton dances with Phoenix, to the song nobody wants to hear at the end of the night: closing time.
