The Falcons are known for time-killing, monotonous (to spread offense boosters) long drives that can consume large chunks of playing time. But it was a hurry-up version that OC Mike Thiessen crafted at the end of the second half that inspired the team to a dominating second half performance and a 45-20 victory.

The Spartans had just finished a 5 play, 64 yard touchdown drive that featured Chevan Cordeiro’s accurate arm and the running of Kairee Robinson that put them ahead by the score of 20-10 with only 3:24 left in the half. With Emmanuel Michel and Dylan Carson pounding the middle, and John Lee Eldridge and Aidan Calvert speeding around the edges, the Falcons were in the endzone in less than 3 minutes to send the teams into the locker rooms at halftime with the Spartans leading by only 3 points.
