The Flagstaff Eagles pushed their record to 2-0 Friday night with a 48-0 victory over the Washington Rams at the Walkup Skydome, winning their home opener in the process. “What was really important was to shut down that run game. Obviously they wanted to try to get to the edge, and Spencer wouldn’t allow it, and neither would Nick on the other side. So once you stop the outside, then they’ve got to go inside, and they’ve got to deal with our threats on the inside,” Manning said. Smith led the Eagles defense, recording 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles -- one recovered for a turnover -- and breaking up countless pass and run attempts.
