East-West Shrine Game

/

I just got done watching the East-West Shrine game, and for the first time in a long time I watched all four quarters.  I know that the Senior Bowl has the better players, but there was still enough talent in this game that will have a chance to play at the next level.  This game is also a great chance for some lower division players to play against the big boys.  Some observations that I have:

  • This is a no brainer - the two defenses dominated the game
  • It was nice to see Trey Griffey (son of Ken Griffey, Jr.) catch some balls
  • Louisville and Arkansas had players on both teams
  • Two colleges from Canada were represented:  Manitoba (Geoff Gray) and Laval (Antony Auclair)
  • I was hoping to see a nice performance from QB Alex Torgersen, from Penn, but his game was off - may have been nerves

Lastly - what a great cause for the game.  How could you not be touched by the kids!
