SHOCK

Here’s a link to the story about the Shock’s shocking defeat. This was a game that seemed to hinge on a few controversial calls early in the third quarter, calls that went against the home team.

But Spokane couldn’t seem to rise above them and the Blitz took advantage. That’s after spotting the Shock a 21-0 lead.

Let’s say this: If Spokane’s pass blocking doesn’t improve, Andrico Hines will have trouble surviving the season. He hit the Arena turf more often than the ball. And Hines doesn’t bounce.

The Blitz are aptly named, though you could call them the swim, as that seemed to be the move of choice by their d-linemen. The Shock had no answer. Coming into the game, Spokane had given up four sacks all season. Bakersfield had four tonight.
