Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series:
In the NSFC championship game, we saw the Baltimore Hawks and the Yellowknife Wraiths face off. Both teams have a good quarterback and at first glance, both quarterbacks had a very similar night. Both scored one touchdown and one interception. Their average was very similar as well. The game was close, with only two points separating the teams, so you would think both did really well.
But they also had a very drastic difference. C. Orosz was not asked to do much, only completing 12 out of 25 passes for 113 yards. Meanwhile, S. Kyubee was much more active, completing 34 of 51 passes for 336 yards. He basically had three times the production of Orosz in this game. It really is a shocking thing that this game was so close despite this crave difference between quarterback play.
Part of the reason the game was close, was a 92 yard kickoff return that helped the Wraiths stay in this game. They only completed 2 out of 17 attempts to get a first down on 3rd and fourth down, while the Hawks completed 6 out of 18. This gave Kyubee the chance to throw the ball more. Because of that, the Hawks also had almost double the time of possession.
Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series:
In the ASFC championship game, the Orange County Otters visited the Arizona Outlaws. Arizona was the big favourite, especially because of their amazing record and home field advantage. Another big advantage was that the Arizona defense is one of the best or the best in the league. Their big star is J. Tuck, one of the favorites to win defensive player of the year after an amazing season. Meanwhile it was the Otters defense that surprised, getting three interceptions (and even that was not enough to win the game).
J. Tuck had a surprisingly quiet game, only getting 4 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 1 sack, an almost disappointing performance for him. Very comparable was L. Thor on the Otters, who ended up with 4 tackles and 3 tackles for loss. Thor actually only had 6 tackles for loss all season but 3 in this game, showing the improvement he made. A lot can also be argued that the pressure the Otters defense put on Bronko also lead to the 3 interceptions. Both Tuck and Thor were overshadowed by others on their defense, with F. Harris and M. Spector having great games for the Otters, and D. Dam having a fantastic time next to J. Tuck on the defensive line, with 2 sacks and a forced and recovered fumble. J. Tuck will have to improve in the final game if he wants to lead his team to the championship.
