#### **Rose Bowl: Huskies Defeat Bobcats in a Nail-Biting 16-13 Victory**
In a matchup that lived up to its hype, the Los Angeles Huskies faced the South Michigan Bobcats in the Rose Bowl. The game was a defensive battle from start to finish, with both teams’ defenses holding strong and limiting explosive plays. It wasn’t until the final moments of the fourth quarter that the Huskies’ kicker nailed a clutch field goal, securing a 16-13 victory.
Quarterback Jamie Lang once again proved to be the heart and soul of the Huskies, leading his team with determination despite not finding the end zone himself. He leaned on his legs and short passing game to keep drives alive and managed the game perfectly when it mattered most.
**Jamie Lang Interview:**
*"That was one of the toughest games we’ve played all year. Hats off to the Bobcats, they made us earn every yard out there. It wasn’t pretty, but in the playoffs, a win is a win. I couldn’t be prouder of my team—we’ve been preparing for moments like this all season. Our defense came up huge, and we stayed composed in the final minutes to get that last field goal. The finals are going to be another battle, but we’re ready. The Xis are tough, but we’ve got our eyes on that championship."*

#### **Fiesta Bowl: Xis Dominate Polars 27-14 in Blowout Fashion**
While the Rose Bowl offered drama, the Fiesta Bowl was an entirely different story. The Alabama Tech Xis, known for their physicality and powerful offense, flexed their muscles in a 27-14 blowout victory over the Alaska State Polars. The Polars struggled to keep up with the relentless pressure from the Xis on both sides of the ball. By halftime, the game was already slipping out of Alaska State’s hands, with the Xis leading 21-7.
The star of the game was the Xis’ brash and confident quarterback, T. Robinson Jr., who threw for 2 touchdowns and added another on the ground. Robinson had plenty to say after the game, as he set his sights on the Huskies in the championship.
**T. Robinson Jr. Interview:**
*"The Polars? Nah, they weren’t on our level. We knew coming in we were the better team, and we just showed it out there. I don’t even think the score reflects how much we dominated—we let off the gas a little bit in the second half. Now it’s all about the Huskies. They’ve been hyped all season, but let’s be real—there’s no way they’re stopping us. Jamie Lang? He’s a good runner, but he’s not built for what we’re bringing. We’re going to run through them, just like we did today."*
