38.4 points of daylight at full time. Push Tush for Reggie Bush still held the lead as late as Friday, before the run that decided it.
The tape shows where it was won: Mals Pals took 4 of the six positions, none more brutally than WR — 44.2 plays 3.1. Trevor Lawrence finished with 23.95, the biggest individual return on either side.
The revenge subplot was real: these sides had met before — week 2 (lost 113.8–157.25) — and Mals Pals had not won any of them until now. Mals Pals came in off three straight defeats, which makes this either a corner turned or a cruel tease.
