Amaris Harrison is an outstanding young man. In addition to being a good football player, he is also a good baseball player. Any college would be lucky to have him.
This game was the absolute Armageddon of officialdom: 45 penalties for 470 yards. This means that the zebras, without wearing pads or following a game-plan, moved the ball roughly 500 yards. How can anyone say the score told the tale here?
