Last week, the Horned Frogs came out with the win, despite a slow start. Thanks to 31 points scored in the second half, the final score was 38-13. Several of our staff came close with their prediction - Brett predicted a 38-10 win for the Frogs, so his guess was the closest. Ryann's 35-14 and David's 41-14 were also close. Who will get it this week?
