After a game-winning 98-yard touchdown in week zero, Muskogee is now tasked with curbing Rougher momentum against McAlester in Friday's game. With only 4:08 left in the contest against Springdale, Arkansas, a punt was spotted at Muskogee's 3-yard line, a holding call pushed the offense back to the 2-yard line. A botched snap in the end zone resulted in running back Anthony Hytche scooping the ball up and running 98-yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Muskogee coach Dale Condict called the play "lucky." Hytche finished the game with 239 rushing yards. McAlester's defense will focus on containing Hytche, who is the top target for their defense. Senior inside linebacker Trevin Simons and sophomore defensive lineman Madden Goodner are both dealing with injuries, further complicating McAlester's challenge.
Meanwhile, Muskogee's starting quarterback Brayden McMullen is questionable for Friday night due to a concussion. The Buffaloes will practice to improve upon their performance against Springdale and aims to be a better team in the rematch against Broken Bow. If they learn and improve, McAlester expects to come out victorious on Friday night.
