Pennsbury falls to 0-7 after a semi-competitive 28-9 loss to UD. PHS opened the game with 9 straight runs for 56 yards, settling for a FG and 3-0 lead. The D maintained the momentum with an INT on Upper Dub's first drive. But Pennsbury's next 4 drives netted only 31 yards, and UD's next 4 went TD (4 yd run), TD (11 yd pass), Halftime, TD (14 yd run). The Cardinals chose death by 1000 cuts for the Falcons - their longest play of the day was 20 yards. PHS still had a shot, down 21-3, after a UD missed FG late 3rd quarter. Pennsbury's subsequent drive, the best of the game (season?), went 14 plays (9 run/5 pass) for 80 yards, capped off with a 5 yd TD run. The defense again held serve, forcing a 3 and out. But Dublin got a great roll on the punt, downing it at the PHS 1 yard line. Two plays and a pick later, the game was all but over. A UD 1 yd TD run with 58 seconds left added the final nail to the Falcons' coffin. PHS finishes the season with three home games, starting with CB South (5-2), followed by theoretically winnable games vs Abington and Neshaminy (both 1-6).
