Part One: Jeremy Naquin, the linebacker
Jeremy’s Journal
December 6, 2027
We had another thrilling game, this time victorious in OT, 34-31, over the Toronto Knights. Now we’re 8-5 on the season and in great position related to the rest of the conference to earn a playoff spot. The unfortunate side is that we have to go on the road to try to win 10 games to help earn a playoff spot. Unfortunately, we are currently ranked tied for 7th in the EHFC with Amsterdam. Moscow (10-3) and Seoul (9-4) have leads over us for the wildcard spots.
About this game, it was a good one, though defense wasn’t the big factor in the game. We gave up over 400 yards on defense, including 200 yards rushing, but we did get two turnovers.
In OT, Toronto drove down the field and had a FG attempt. But . . .
4-2-AUC28 (OT: 09:31) Martin Wilson attempted a 45 yard field goal and it was blocked by Antonio Babka. TOR Martin Wilson recovered the ball at the AUC41. You can blame the block on a bad snap from center.
Here are my plays:
1-10-AUC25 (2Q: 13:09) Jimmy Maxwell ran inside the right guard for 7 yards. Tackled by OLB Jeremy Naquin, assisted by CB A.J. Morton. Key block delivered by Albert Page.
1-10-TOR21 (3Q: 08:11) Carl O'Donnell ran around left end for -1 yards. Tackled by OLB Jeremy Naquin, assisted by S Vince Rose. The defense looked extremely familiar with that play.
1-10-TOR33 (4Q: 08:08) Christian Nichols pass completed to TE Johnnie Matsui for 34 yards. The receiver went out of bounds. Tackled by OLB Jeremy Naquin. Matsui gained 33 yards after the catch.
2-5-TOR38 (OT: 14:09) Carl O'Donnell ran inside the left guard for 1 yard. Tackled by OLB Jeremy Naquin.
1-10-TOR45 (OT: 13:00) Christian Nichols pass completed to RB Jimmy Maxwell for 8 yards. Tackled by OLB Jeremy Naquin, assisted by OLB Curtis Duncan. Maxwell gained 6 yards after the catch.
