The North Jefferson News -
Despite a rash of penalties, the Central Alabama Devil Dawgs ran their inaugural Premier South Football League season record to 2-0 with a 22-6 victory over the Bay County (Fla) Tigers Saturday night.
Quarterback Justin Craig accounted for two touchdowns, one a 50-yard pass to Chris Coach on the first play from scrimmage of the second half, and the other on a one-yard dive about nine minutes later.
The scores were the highlight of what was otherwise a rough night for Craig, whose offensive line has yet to find its way two weeks into the season. Craig was sacked four times, and lost 19 yards rushing for the night.
"Our guys were great on run blocking, but our pass blocking needs some work," Dawgs coach Jesse Reed said.
Penalties were again an issue, with four dead-ball personal fouls costing Central considerable yardage. Three fouls in a row turned a Dawgs drive that reached the Tigers 9-yard line into just a 38-yard field goal by Justin Madison.
Their only saving grace was the fact that the Tigers were flagged even worse-15 fouls for 153 yards, 14 yards more than Bay Countys total offense for the game.
Running back Aaron Johns broke open for a 45-yard touchdown run down the left sideline in the second quarter.
Bay County (1-1) scored its lone touchdown on a 16-yard throw from Desmond Brown to D.J. Davenport.
Craig was 6 for 9 passing for 120 yards with no interceptions.
Johns had 8 rushes for 111 yards to lead Central.
The Dawgs host Memphis on Saturday night at Corner School.
