Moosemen Match Report
Louisiana State University was the host of our 2nd game on the Fall Tour in Baton Rouge. We headed out to LSU with bad weather churning in the forecast. A 30 minute ligtning delay enforced by campus authorities, kept both sides from warming up for an appropriate amount of time, but the kickoff still took place at 6:30pm as planned. The Blue Raiders performed their haka and began the first half charged up and hoping to turn their bad fortunes around even without 6 of their starters.
Under the lights in a drizzling rain the Blue Raiders fought hard and tackled again and again as LSU continued to quickly win rucks and attack with bumps. This would prove to be the trend for the entire half as MTSU had virtually know offense due to the possession battle. The motley side still scratched and clawed at the solid LSU side making it as hard for them as they could, but allowed 24 points unanswered in the first half.
The game would be post-poned another 30 minutes at halftime by campus officials and eventually cancelled. MTSU and LSU players alike, left with disdain as we could not forge into the 2nd half with the hopes of fixing what was broken and everyone wanted to play more rugby.
