The Flyers made short work of the Colonels on Saturday evening, running out 7-0 winners in a regular-season clash that told you everything you needed to know about where both sides stand. And here's the thing — it wasn't even close. The visitors arrived with momentum and left with something to prove even less.
Nothing complicated about the result. The Flyers, who had beaten the Saints 30-7 and the Falcons 43-20 in their two previous outings, showed no sign of letting up. Four touchdowns and a field goal, that's all it took. The Colonels, meanwhile, couldn't muster a single point against a defence that refused to be troubled.
To be fair, the problem wasn't just tonight. The Colonels had been competitive recently — beating Mochos 22-17 and Catamounts 21-45 — but the Gamecocks match against them was different. Seven points, forty-nine conceded. They'd been outplayed. Against the Flyers, the gap simply widened into something unbridgeable.
The visitors didn't need to go looking for the win. They were already there. By then, the Colonels were still chasing, still trying to piece something together. The Flyers were just finishing what they'd started.
It's not about the table yet — two games in and there's nothing to separate anyone properly. But form matters. The Flyers have won both matches they've played. The Colonels have one win and two losses. That's the difference.
