The Wildcat put on a masterclass against the Penguins on Saturday, running out 45-13 winners in an NFL regular-season fixture. The hosts dominated from the opening whistle, with the scoreline reflecting a comprehensive victory that left little doubt about the gulf in class on the day.
It was a performance that showed the Wildcat have not won since their last match — wait, that's not right. They certainly looked sharp, with the Penguins unable to mount any meaningful resistance. The hosts cut them open at will, and by the time the final whistle blew, the result felt inevitable.
The Penguins arrived with some momentum, having beaten the Lakers 43-10 just a week prior. To be fair, that was a comfortable victory, but nothing prepared them for what came next. The history between them adds an edge, but this time the narrative was written in a different language entirely.
There are no detailed statistics available for this fixture, but the score tells its own story. Fifty-eight points on offer, with the Wildcat accounting for 45 of them. The Penguins managed a single try in their response — or rather, a consolation that came far too late to matter.
What this means for the standings remains to be seen, but the message from the Wildcat is clear. They have turned it on, and if this is their form, opponents should take note. The Penguins, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly — they ran out of legs against a side that simply would not let up.
