A 21.2-point result that was tighter than the final margin suggests. At its worst moment — Monday, chance of victory reading 6% — They Hit The 2nd Bower looked gone. Surtainly Autistic still held the lead as late as Monday, before the run that decided it.
The tape shows where it was won: They Hit The 2nd Bower took 3 of the six positions, none more brutally than TE — 37.3 plays 5.8. Caleb Williams finished with 40.5, the biggest individual return on either side.
They Hit The 2nd Bower came in off three straight defeats, which makes this either a corner turned or a cruel tease. Only their own week-5 effort of 157.4 has bettered the 147.1 this season.
