The Clash of the Titans: Great 8’s vs. Benjamins

May 3 | Maverik Center, West Valley City, UT
There is no rest for the weary as the action shifts to West Valley City tomorrow. The Utah Great 8’s welcome the Pennsylvania Benjamins to the Maverik Center in a matchup that feels like a collision of two different football philosophies. The Benjamin’s stole game 1 of the 3-game series played between the two powerhouses this season, with a final outcome, Pennsylvania 29 vs Utah 27. 
Looking to make waves once again, the Benjamins come into this game representing the grit and blue-collar tradition of Pennsylvania football. Expect a disciplined, methodical approach from the visitors. Conversely, the Great 8’s are looking to leverage the altitude and a roster filled with explosive speed. This game will likely be won in the trenches; if Pennsylvania’s line can control the clock, they can silence the Utah faithful. However, if the Great 8’s find their rhythm early, the Benjamins may find themselves in a track meet they aren’t prepared to win.
