It takes two

The Red Sea couldn\u2019t have parted any better for Moses than the hole did for Tyrone running back Larry Glace on a draw play midway through the first quarter last night against Huntingdon.
\nChances are pretty good, though, that Moses didn\u2019t have the wheels Glace has.
\nWith the Eagles clinging to a 7-0 lead and facing third-and-6 from their own 18, Glace took a draw handoff, burst through an open seam on the left side of the line, and then exploded between Huntingdon\u2019s safeties on his way to an 82-yard touchdown that drained the life out of the Bearcats.
\nTyrone added one more touchdown late to win 21-0 at War Vets Field and improve to 2-0, 1-0 in the MAC Nittany Division. The Eagles also extended their regular-season winning streak to 34-straight games.
\n\u201cIt was just a feel,\u201d Tyrone coach John Franco said of the call to run on third-and-long. \u201cThey saw our formation, so we knew they were going to adjust, but it wasn\u2019t the call. It was a guy making a play. Larry did a nice job of finding an open area and then getting through.\u201d
\n\u201cHis speed surprised us,\u201d said Huntingdon coach Jim Zauzig. \u201cI didn\u2019t know they had anyone with breakaway speed. He was on top of our safeties before they had time to react. That was a killer.\u201d
\nWhile the play put a gaping hole in the \u2018Cats\u2019 balloon of confidence, truth is, it was leaking for quite a while. Tyrone punctured it early with its relentless pass rush, and stretched it open wider and wider with each successive rush.
\nGolden Eagle defenders lived in Huntingdon\u2019s backfield, stopping 12 plays behind the line of scrimmage, including five sacks of quarterback Nathan Betts – two by defensive end Matt Murray, and one each by Shane Walker, Johnny Shaffer, and Jeremy Barlett.
\n\u201cWe knew their quarterback could run and we had to put pressure on him,\u201d said Shaffer, who added two other tackles for losses.
\nNo stops were bigger than the two Murray delivered on the \u2018Cats\u2019 first possession. It took Huntingdon only three plays to move from their own 35 to Tyrone\u2019s 24, with Betts connecting with Derek Heath twice for gains of 28 and 11 yards. On second-and-8, Murray dropped Betts for a 7-yard loss, and on the next play he brought him down again for a loss of one.
\nA running play on fourth down went for only seven yards, and Tyrone took over.
\n\u201cMurray and Shaffer are awfully good in 1-on-1 or even 1-on-2 situations,\u201d Franco said. \u201cOur pass rush and our defense were the key for us.\u201d
\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t run many stunts. It was just Shaffer and me working together,\u201d said Murray. \u201cOn the sacks, Shaffer kept containment and I ran down the quarterback. The sacks should go in the books for Shaffer.\u201d
\nBut despite the Eagles\u2019 efforts on defense, which limited to Huntingdon to minus-8 yards rushing, they weren\u2019t able to get on the scoreboard until late in the second half, when they drove 70 yards in 10 plays to take a 7-0 lead. Glace, who finished with a career-high 149 yards on 11 attempts, carried three times for 38 yards, and a pass from Levi Reihart to Mark Mingle put the ball at the Huntingdon 1 on fourth down. The Eagles went back to Mingle the next play, and his one-yard blast made it 7-0, following Shaffer\u2019s PAT.
\nHuntingdon (1-1, 0-1) drove as deep as Tyrone\u2019s 17 with under a minute to play in the half, but on second-and-10, Walker dumped Betts for a 7-yard loss. After an incompletion in the end zone on third down, Evan Yoder\u2019s 41-yard field goal attempt fell short.
\nThe \u2018Cat\u2019s got a momentum boost early in the second half when Michael Sellers stripped Mingle and recovered the fumble at the Tyrone 40, but on second down Shaffer stuffed Andrew Sharpless for a 2-yard loss. On third-and-9, Barlett came off the left corner clean and drilled Betts from the blind side, folding the quarterback in half and causing a fumble.
\nThe \u2018Cats recovered, but were forced to punt, setting up Glace\u2019s run to make it 14-0.
\n\u201cTheir pass rush was very instrumental in how things went down for us offensively,\u201d said Zauzig. \u201cBetts has got a gun, but he needs time to find his receivers.\u201d
\nTyrone\u2019s defense followed Glace\u2019s big play with two of its own. First, Jerrod Good stopped Jared Donelson for a 2-yard loss, and then on fourth down Walker broke through the line and blocked Betts\u2019 punt and recovered the loose ball.
\nTyrone\u2019s last score came on a 50-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Mingle did most of the leg-work, carrying six times for 36 yards, but Shaffer delivered the biggest blow. On third-and-8 from the 16, he took a pass across the middle from Reihart and turned up field for the end zone. Inside the five, Shaffer ripped through a tackle attempt by Sellers and then put his head down and plowed over Michael Kalos for his first touchdown of the season to make it 21-0.
\n\u201cAs soon as I saw the goal line, I knew no one was going to stop me,\u201d Shaffer said.
\nTyrone kept its shutout with one more stop on Huntingdon\u2019s final drive. The \u2018Cats marched as far as Tyrone\u2019s 4, but on first down, Murray popped Donelson for a 1-yard loss. Betts followed with three straight incompletions, and the Eagles had their first shutout of the season.
\nGRID TIDBITS: Betts completed 12 of 25 passes for 156 yards … he was intercepted once by Eric Desch … Mingle finished with 79 yards on 21 carries.
