Game Notes

John Curtis Patriots rally, overpower top-ranked Hoover 28-14.

The Patriots overcome early turnovers and a 14-0 deficit to upset the USA Today's top-ranked team in the country as WR/RB Joe McKnight (USC) flashes his big-play ability, gaining 204 yards on just 8 offensive touches. McKnight scores on an 80-yard TD pass from Kyle Collura and a 45-yard TD pass.

The Bucs turn 2 turnovers into a 14-0 lead as Michael Hall scores on a 3-yard run and then Ross Wilson hits Charlie Zorn for an 18-yard TD pass. However, the tide turns as John Curtis starts rolling.

Collura's 1-yard TD starts the Patriots, and his 80-yard connection with McKnight evens it. David Seaman's 50-yard TD gives the Patriots a lead in the 3rd quarter. McKnight's final TD is the knockout blow.

Hoover includes WR Brandon Clear (Clemson), OT Patrick Crump (Alabama), OT Ryan Pugh (Auburn), DT Kerry Murphy (Alabama), DT Josh Chapman (Alabama), DE Korey Reynolds (Hawaii).
