The O’Connell Shamrocks cruised to victory in the Champions Bowl, beating the University of Stamford Rams 41-13 on Saturday night. The Rams defence was exposed, with Junior QB Kendall Clark throwing for 287 yards,four touchdowns and Jamarcus Jones gained 172 yards on the ground (and one TD).
The Star of the show was the O’Connell defence, who really took their number 5 ranking to heart- as a huge insult. Led by their beastly frontman, End Vin Marshall. Marshall’s commanding display earned him Player of the Game Honours- with three QB Marks and a forced fumble- he disrupted the Rams attack all day. The Rams only got their touchdown once Marshall was being rested as the reserve defenders were mainly in there. The O’Connell defence forced six turnovers as outgoing senior QB Dre Nalen had a night to forget.
Vin Marshall stole the show and will be the odds-on-favourite for the number one pick in the draft, based on the play-off showings.
