The Spartans edged past the Kugars 43-20 in a regular-season NFL encounter on Saturday evening. The away side never let the hosts regain momentum after taking control early. By then it was clear the Kugars had nothing left to offer in the second half.
The Spartans have won three of their last four games, a run that included a 56-0 demolition of the Rams and a 42-21 victory over the Pirates. The Kugars, meanwhile, have lost three of their past four, including a heavy 47-20 defeat to the Bulldogs. To be fair, they did manage a 78-7 win against the Knights in between.
The margin of victory reflected the gap in form rather than anything surprising. The Spartans found a way through the Kugars' defence in the opening quarter and never looked back. The Kugars' high line was picked apart repeatedly, and their coaching staff had no answer for the pressure.
What the result means for the standings is unclear at this stage, as no table positions are provided. The Spartans extend their winning streak while the Kugars' recent struggles continue. A straight knockout would have been harsher, but the scoreline tells the story.
