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.
