Since I didn't see anyone report on this one I thougth I'd add something. Final was 26-13 HC. Neither team could move the ball in the first half and in fact both teams had less than 100 yards on the ground for the entire game. HC was up 7-0 and blocked a G'town punt with just over a minute to go in the first half and scored with just a couple seconds left but had the PAT blocked to go up 13-0.
Both had a little more success in the second half but HC had a 75 drive for a FG that was more like a 95 yard drive since G'town backed them up to their own 5.
GU had some early troubles jumping offsides and a couple of delay of game penalties. I would chalk that up to first game issues. I think both teams will be middle of the road PL teams, but both should improve as the season goes on. HC lost their QB in the first half for the rest of the game, but he was on the sidelines in gear with helmet on all second half, so I can't imagine the injury was too bad.
