6:38 Third Quarter

The punting game has really hurt Skyline. They have punted 4 times and are averaging around 15 yards per punt. They keep giving the Miners a short field and field position has been the difference in the game.

Bingham had the ball for 12:04 while Skyline had it for 11:56. Turnovers and bad punting in their own territory has just killed the Eagles. But a solid second half has given them hope. For Bingham, they have to be happy with a 24-8 lead at the half. With the exception of two turnovers and some penalties the Miners have looked great.

We are just about to get underway here at Rice-Eccles Stadium. This is a rematch from week one that saw Skyline upset Bingham. Since an 0-2 start the Miners have been dominant. They have won 10 straight games and have won their last six by more than 27 points. I\'m sure Bingham hasn\'t forgotten that week one loss and will have plenty of extra motivation this afternoon. But you can\'t count out a team coached by the legendary Roger Dupaix. They shocked everyone by making a cinderella run to the title in 2005. Skyline will receive to start the ball game.
