scoring six touchdowns on runs of 83,
65, 47, 43 and 35 yards, as well as tak-
ing a Zach Thompson pass 85 yards to
the end zone. On the second play from
scrimmage, Thompson turned a bro-
ken play into points by scrambling for
89 yards and the Owls' first TD.
"Offensively, we clicked, all game
long. I have told the guys since day
one that it comes down to execution
with this new system and they were
able to do so throughout the entire
al ernoon," Kerr said. "The offensive
line stepped up and blocked well,
which gave our speed threats room to
run.~
Also getting in on the scoring
against the Eagles were Kyle Bundy,
who ran for two touchdowns - one
from 25 yards and the other from 70
yards, and Thompson, who tossed a
12-yard touchdown pass to Trenton
Narrance. Thompso and Reese Tot-
tie added two-point conversions.
"Defensively, it came down to tack-
ling and we did that fairly well this
week," Kerr said. "Evergreen Luther-
an had a big and physical running
back that our defensive front and line-
backers did a good job of bottling up."
Cole Ruthruff posted 17 tackles to

by three games and in the
N.L. Central, the defending
World Series-champion Chi-
cago Cubs held a four-game
lead over the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Every other division-
leading team on Monday
had either clinched a league
championship, or in the case
of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
led its nearest divisional rival
by 9.5 games. That's taken a
bit of a bite out of the usual
drama associated with the
end of the regular season, but
not all of it.
A glance at the Wild Card
standings reveals that plenty
of late-season theater is on
the horizon for the few of us
who still consider baseball
America's pastime. On Mon-
day afternoon, the Yankees
had a relatively firm grip on
the top A.L. Wild Card spot
with the Minnesota Twins
clinging to a two-game lead
over the Los Angeles Angels
for the second Wild Card. Sit-
ting just 4 games back of
the Twins were the Seattle
Mariners, with the Texas
Rangers and Kansas City
Royals a half game back of
the M's.
In the National League,
the Arizona Diamondbacks
held the No. 1 Wild Card spot
by five games over the Colo-
rado Rockies in the second
spot. The Milwaukee Brew-
ers were 2 ½ games off the
pace and the St. Louis Cardi-
nals were 4.5 back.
Originally, I was against
the addition in 2012 of a
second Wild Card team to
the MLB postseason, but
I'm now completely sold on
it. Think about it: if not for
the second Wild Card, the
Mariners' season would have
long ago been considered
a wash. But here they are,
playing games that matter in
mid-to-late September. Could
the Mariners catch fire and
make a mad dash to claim a
Wild Card spot? Most likely
not, but stranger things have
happened. Just ask the 1978
Boston Red Sex, who I guess
hadn't yet figured out how to
cheat 39 years ago.
Regardless, there's plenty
of baseball drama to enjoy
before the month ends and
the playoffs begin.
Speaking of beginnings --
Football!
That's right, the beginning
of the NFL and college foot-
ball seasons should help most
sports fans wriggle out from
under those end-of-summer
blues.
Yes, your Seattle Se-
ahawks haven't exactly
stormed out of the gate, get-
ting manhandled in their
opener at Green Bay and
eking out a 12-9 win over
the rebuilding San Francisco
49ers to start the season 1-1.
In fact, the lowly Cleveland
Browns have scored twice
as many touchdowns (two)
this season as the vaunted
Seahawks (one), not that I'm
keeping track.
But a win on the road Sun-
day against a solid a Tennes-
see Titans team could be the
springboard to greener pas-
tures ahead for the Hawks.
After Sunday, the Seahawks
have three consecutive win-
nable games -- at home
against Indianapolis and
on the road at the Los An-
geles Rams and New York
Giants -- with a bye week
thrown in between the L.A.
and New York games for good
measure. Should the Seattle
offensive line play the way
it did in the fourth quarter
of Sunday's victory over the
Niners, the Hawks have a
legitimate shot at being 4-1
when the Houston Texans
roll into town Oct. 29.
If the Seahawks have you
frustrated, take solace in
the Associated Press college
football rankings, where the
Washington Huskies sit at
No. 9 and the Washington
State Cougars are at No. 18
with matching 3-0 records.
Looking at the Huskies'
schedule, they might not take
on a serious challenger un-
til their Oct. 28 home game
against UCLA. By then, UW
could be 7-0 and legitimately
seen as a contender to reach
its second straight College
Football Playoff.
Over in Pullman, the Cou-
gars will face their biggest
test of the season thus far in
a Friday night ESPN battle
against use on Sept. 29
before traveling to meet Or-
egon, currently ranked 24th.
It might be a bit of a
stretch to believe both the
Huskies and Cougs will en-
ter their Nov. 25 Apple Cup
battle in Seattle undefeated.
But a few lucky bounces be-
tween now and then could set
the stage for one of the best
Apple Cups ever.
So, if the change of seasons
has got you down, remind
yourself that at least you're
not breathing smoke from
this summer's wildfires and
that it's the best time of the
year to be a sports fan.
