<\/p>\nSun sloppy despite blowout<\/p>\n
To hear Okanagan Sun head coach Travis Miller tell it, \u201cthat was the ugliest 67 point win I have ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
And it was hard to argue with him.<\/p>\n
Fumbles, missed assignments, shoddy play on both sides of the ball, and numerous untimely and uncalled for penalties littered much of the opening half of what eventually turned into a 67-13 shellacking of the visiting Prince George Kodiaks.<\/p>\n
But, if you were airlifted into the Apple Bowl with no preconceived idea of who was who, you might have thought for a moment it was the Kodiaks, and not the Sun, who had national championship aspirations.<\/p>\n
The Kodiaks, who had scored just three points in games against opposition other than the Kamloops Broncos, held a 13-11 lead over the Sun five minutes into the second quarter and were full value for that lead.<\/p>\n
It could have been more had the Sun defence not held firm deep inside their own end, holding the Kodiaks to a pair of short field goals instead of touchdowns.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t execute at all,\u201d understated Miller.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a short week of practice like with Langley and it proves that we\u2019re not that mentally checked in when we don\u2019t have the same consistency.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou get into the motion, the consistency of practice. That\u2019s why we are consistently good because we have the consistency of practice and when we don\u2019t have that, we\u2019re off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller was referring to a lack of practice time leading up to the game due to the thick smoke early in the week.<\/p>\n
Once they \u201cchecked in\u201d they dominated, scoring on their last two possessions of the second quarter and their first four possessions of the third.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was definitely an execution thing later on when the guys finally caught fire and I think our running game, Jaxon had what, 200 yards and four touchdowns?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a kid takes over like that you can\u2019t thank him enough to calm the waters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allan finished the night with 235 yards and those four touchdowns while quarterback Marcus Christos, while not as sharp as a week ago, still accounted for the other five (two passing and three on the ground).<\/p>\n
Trailing by two, Allan ran in his second of the night from six yards out midway through the second to put the Sun ahead 18-13, a lead they would never relinquish.<\/p>\n
Following a Teshaine Peach interception, Christos needed just five plays to get to the end zone, capping the drive off with his own one yard plunge.<\/p>\n
On his next possession, Christos found Noah Borhot with an 11 yard strike to cap off an eight play, 51-yard drive.<\/p>\n
If the Sun hadn\u2019t finally taken the game over leading 32-13 at the half, they grabbed it by the throat in the third, scoring four unanswered touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Christos ran one in from three yards out, hit Tyler Craver for a 49 yard touchdown on a simple swing pass, and Allan finished off his night with touchdown runs of 15 and six yards.<\/p>\n
Christos capped off the scoring with a 26-yard run in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Despite the lopsided win, the Sun will have to clean some things up ahead of their showdown in Victoria next weekend.<\/p>\n
The secondary, which was torched for four long pass plays including a 52-yard touchdown, will have to tighten up and the penalties will have to be addressed.<\/p>\n
The Sun did finish the night with nearly 500 yards of total offence, including 351 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n
The Kodiaks used those four big plays to finish the night with 202 passing yards, but were held to minus six on the ground.<\/p>\n
The Sun, now 3-1, travel to the island next weekend to face the 3-1 Westshore Rebels.<\/p>\n
