Houston's Astrodome filled with almost 26000
for this Big Five showdown, and Westbrook
gets on the board first General Landry 30
yards to Darryl Colvert.
It comes on a fourth and 15 play
from Bell's 30.
The Bruins lead at seven nothing.
And they also had some defense to go along with
the offense. The Westbrook defense holding
Bell in a third and one play from the
Bruin four yard line bills.
Randy Davis had to settle for a 29 yard
field goal and Westbrook led Bell
seven to three at the half.
The Bruins came out smoking.
In the third, Terrence McCarty goes around
left in nine yards, another big
play in a third and four and the Bruins
had a fourteen to three lead after
three quarters. But Bell came alive in the
fourth. Look at fullback Tom Jenkins
goes straight up the middle thirty one yards
to the Westbrook three and on the very next
play Tom Ward punched it in and
Bill narrowed Westbrook's lead to fourteen
to ten But Westbrook kept the heat on
and went big tailback Jerebko rambled
eight yards with less than five minutes left
The Bruins held on to beat Eddie Bell
twenty one to ten.
I think the things that got us here was hard
work and pride and we want to hold our heads up
today because I don't think we have anything to
wrap our heads about. I think that we had a
team that just outman to say they had
more strength in certain spots and they did
a good job of coaching and taking a spot away
from us.
