BLOGGER’S NOTE: For an archive of the live blog from Friday Night Lights, click here.
Some names and faces on the roster have changed, but there’s nothing like a little rematch to get the juices flowing.
The Falcons defense took an early lead in the second Allstate All-Access Friday Night Lights, this time at Brookwood High School, but the offense stormed back to walk away with a 37-34 win.
The team’s defense won the inaugural event, which uses a unique offensive and defensive scoring system 29-28.
Defensive play makers included Brent Grimes, who expanded his group’s lead in the first half by stripping the ball from tight end Justin Peelle, recovering the fumble and racing 35 yards for a touchdown.
Minor scoring continued with points being awarded for defensive stops, three-and-outs and offensive drives into the defense’s half of the field (click here for detail).
The offense turned to the running game to wear the defense down and got three scores — touchdown runs by Jerious Norwood and Thomas Brown and a 20-yard pass to Michael Jenkins from Matt Ryan.

During the live comments, i saw that Glen Sharpe was making quite a few tackles in run support. How did he look in coverage and in general?
Thanks for the updates.
nice thats what i like to hear
it was fun at brookwood.the falcons look good
Nice…sounds like it was a win – win night for both the offense and defense. I love Brent Grimes…I remember watching him in pre-game warm-ups last season thinking how can a man so short jump THAT high? He’s had a bit of time to improve his skill set, I think he’ll be our other CB this coming 2009 season.
