SUU Wins! Good game Drewby!

Drew did SO GOOD at his game last night! I'm not one to brag but I feel like I've got some bragging rights today..ha ha! I seriously am so proud of him! SUU played Dixie State for the first time in 60-some odd years and we won 36 to 7! The whole team played really well, especially the defense! Drew got an awesome interception. He jumped up to block the throw and hit the ball with his finger tip and while he was falling he caught the ball and held on to it for the interception...SO cool!
He plays a bit of special teams (kick off) and did really well there too. I think he got 2 tackles on kick off if I remember right. He's number 44 by the way.
Ready...Break!
Drew and his brother, Nick (they look a lot alike!). It sucked that their game was on a Thursday because not a whole lot of our family could get away in the middle of the week. But I had Nick and his dad there to help me cheer Drew on!
The ones where the red looks orange are from Tim's camera, kinda makes the pic look funny.
A little piece of the article in the newspaper this morning: "Thompson [Dixie's QB] completed 16-of-27 passes for 146 yards but was intercepted once, on an athletic tip-and-catch play by SUU linebacker Drew Willard". Short and sweet but awesome, seriously I'm so proud of Drew, he's come a long ways and I'm so excited to see what the rest of the season has to offer! Go T-Birds!
