Rumors are incorrect.
There was WAY more concern about how to move the ball and score on Springfield's stout defense then what their offense would be with, our without, Crenshaw.
I understand the odds (longshot). Just correcting a statement.
But, if Portland def HC, Springfield loses to NW, Springfield is #3, Portland is #2.
Rematch between HC and SF in playoffs should be the Game of the Week at that time.
