Edward Waters finishes with 515 yards of total offense in 66-34 victory
JACKSONVILLE, Florida - An offensive juggernaut or a weak opening foe’s defense? It’s too early to tell, but one thing is certain: Edward Waters College appears capable of scoring a lot of points this season.
The Tigers rolled up 515 yards of total offense and overwhelmed Point University 66-34 at Raines High School in the opener for both teams Saturday.
Seven of EWC’s 10 scoring drives took less than three minutes. And all but three scoring drives were of at least 58 yards. The short drives came on gifts from the Tigers’ defense or special teams. Ja’Tavius McCardell’s interception return went to the 4-yard line, the Tigers sacked Point’s punter on his own 12 and a Tony Goodman kickoff return of 56 yards gave EWC a short field of 40 yards.
But the day belonged to the offense. Running back Phillip Teamer and quarterback Brandon Turman combined for 267 rushing yards, most coming on option plays that Turman ran to perfection.
