BOB:
We're back, and it looks like the Fellowship is taking the Field again for defense. The Uruk-Hai have a powerful offense line,
and their quartback, as you know, is a straight-shooter with a strong passing game. So far in the game he has shot for 120
yards, putting the Uruk-Hai ahead 14 to 13.
PHIL:
You're right, Bob. The Fellowship really took it hard when they missed the field goal on that last attempt. Kicker Boromir
looks a bit distracted after that sack, Bob. I would hate to see them have to go to red-shirt freshman Peregrin Took to take
his place. Took just hasn't had the experience that Boromir has.
BOB:
Indeed, Phil, Took is in for a wild ride if the Uruk-Hai get a hold of him. I know the Fellowship fans are hoping for the best
for Boromir and the rest of the offensive line.
PHIL:
It looks like the Uruk-Hai have just run back the kick off to start the second half. Receiver Urububba was just taken down at
the 35 by Gimili. That makes the fourth offensive tackle to stop a run back this game for Gimli.
BOB:
Phil, Gimli has shown remarkable talent on the offensive line, and stops like these are just one example of what we can look
forward to at Rohan next week.
2nd Down and 4
BOB:
Here's the snap. Lurtz looks for a receiver. Pass intended for Charlie-Hai. Oh! Interception by Frodo Baggins! One yard
gained, and he's stopped at the Fellowship's 45.
PHIL:
Bob, it almost looked like it was going to be pass interference there, but then Baggins took that leap into the air at just
the right moment.
BOB:
Officials have pulled a flag on the play. Referee Lord Elrond steps up to make the call. Oh! Holding on the offense! It seems
Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were picked up by some Uruk-Hai linemen and carried several yards.
PHIL:
Just strange, Bob. I have never seen goblin men putting so much effort into attacking the halfling players of The Fellowship.
Perhaps this is a tactic that Coach Saruman has been working on them just for this one game, Bob.
BOB:
And it looks like The Fellowship has called a time out, and we'll be back after these messages from Old Toby.
