There's two ways of looking at tonight's 30-10 victory over Dorsey:

1. This is the last important game Birmingham will play until December.

2. This is the first important game Birmingham has played all year.

Both are true.

Basically, this is the last game Birmingham will play until December where the opponent was expected to give them a real challenge. No disrespect to the other West Valley League teams, but it's become clear that Birmingham is the class of the league and no one else is even close. All the other teams should be competitve with each other. Right now, I'd have a hard time even predicting who will finish second.

But to me, the biggest thing to come out of this game was the first look at Birmingham's two-quarterback offense. If tonight was any indication, it seems like coach Croson will be using both Exavier Johnson and Morey Croson all year long. Tonight, Morey played about 70 percent of the time and Ex got in for the rest. Morey is running the Patriots' ``power offense'' and Ex is running the ``spread offense.'' Both looked good. Morey has grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the year. He's smart, poised and manages the game very well. Ex has a rocket arm, great scrambling ability and is a dynamic playmaker.

I think the percentages will change from week to week, some weeks Ex might even start. But it'll be interesting to see how the constant changes affect the team's chemistry and flow. Both QBs are well liked by their teammates. Morey has earned their respect from his solid work in Birmingham's big victories over Long Beach Poly and Notre Dame. Ex has earned their respect from his time as Taft's QB for two years and flashes of brilliance in practice.

I was really wondering how coach Croson would handle the situation. On the one hand, you don't want to mess wit something that's been working, and Morey has been working. On the other hand, Ex is such a dynamic player, it's hard to keep him off the field.

It looks like it'll be a fun experiment to watch play out over the rest of the season...
