Rockford overcame 4 turnovers to win another close one! The Rams
turned the ball over 3 times in the first quarter, but were still
able to capture the lead at halftime thanks to a 47 yard field goal
just before halftime by Eric Ledbetter. That field goal turned out
to be the difference in the game.
Baron Grutter had a big night for the Rams scoring 2 touchdowns from
40 yards out (one 40 yd rec; one 40 yd rush). The Rams third touchdown
came on a fumble recovery after Rockford rushed into the endzone.
With about 2 minutes to go in the game, Rockford lost a fumble deep
in Sexton territory while holding a 3 point lead. Lansing made it
just into Ram territory when the defense ended the Sexton surge on
downs. The Ram secondary came up with a lot of big plays and the D-line
kept good pressure on the Sexton quarterback to help secure the win.
WAY TO GO RAMS!!!!
