The Early Longhorns took advantage of a rare opportunity to spoil the Homecoming of a team that spoiled their own homecoming the year before. The 2004 game was an offensive shootout that saw the Clifton Cubs walk away with the win in the final minutes. As I predicted, this one was decided much earlier. In fact, it was essentially decided after only 19 seconds had ticked off the clock. The Horns took the opening kickoff and on the first play from scrimmage, Josh Conley went around the right side for 57 yards and six points, after Cochran added the PAT kick the Horns led 7-0, and that was really all they needed. The offense added 7 more on the next possession for a 14 - 0 lead. Fourteen points along with a swarming, pounding, extremely aggressive defense, that allowed a total of 80 net yards for Clifton's offense, gives you a 4 game win streak for the Early Longhorns. Although I predicted a 28 - 0, final score, I think we can all be happy with the 14-0 shutout. Great job guys! More to come...
