Marietta 38, Pebblebrook 7
How the game was won: Marietta used an overwhelming air attack in the first half to take the suspense out of its home game against Pebblebrook almost right away. Harrison Bailey completed 12 of 23 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns prior to halftime. Pebblebrook at least made the second half respectable by using up 9:24 off the clock during a 17-play touchdown drive, but the Falcons could not get any closer than 31-7.
Top performers: With the game already out of hand in the Blue Devils' favor, Bailey attempted only one pass in the second half--a 65-yarder to DeWayne Smith that set up a one-yard touchdown plunge by Malachi Diggs. Bailey finished 12-for-24 with 277 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He tossed a trio of 43-yard scoring strikes, two into the hands of Ramel Keyton and one to Daniel Charles. Austin Cryer added a one-yard touchdown run for Marietta, while Luke Mozley kicked a 24-yard field goal and tacked on all five PATs.
