TUSCALOOSA, AL (Oct. 21, 2014)— During week 7 of the 2014 Fantasy Classic season the Tuscaloosa Top Guns scored 105.7 points against the Harrisonburg Valley Bees, who were ranked a seed above them and scored 102.12 points. Through a closely fought matchup, where the lead changed multiple times, the Top Guns came back with a much-needed win following a blowout loss in week 6. As a result, the Top Guns have moved up a rank in the league’s standings.
It was an extremely close game throughout the weekend and came down to the wire for both teams. With Emmanuel Sanders’ TD, the Top Guns took the lead and held it over the Valley Bees as their wide receiver, Michael Crabtree, failed to have an impressive game.
The Top Guns’ quarterback, Jay Cutler, had his first sub-par week and only accumulated a total of 12.9 points for the team. Other players stepped up and helped the team rise above the Valley Bees including Matt Forte, Dez Bryant, Emmanuel Sanders, Antonio Gates, and our Baltimore Defense. Matt Forte has come to emerge as the leading star of the Top Guns by scoring 22.9 points in this game as well as 20 or more points in the past 3 games.
“He has gotten more fluid,” Jay Cutler said. “He trusts his hands a little bit more. He used to be a body catcher more, so now he’s like a receiver.”
Cutler isn’t the only one who has seen improvement in Forte’s ability, but the Top Guns’ running back coach has seen it more than anyone.
“Matt has really stepped up this season as the overall leader of our team,” Running back coach, Sean Shabazian, said. “He’s been our most consistent player over the past 7 weeks and I fully expect Matt to continue having an all-star season.”
Matt Forte as well as the rest of the Tuscaloosa Top Guns (3-4) face off against the 8th ranked Fort Lauderdale Flyers (3-4) next week.
