(Thien-An Truong for Bay Area News Group) The question at that point was how Live Oak would respond. Christian Hauge provided a rapid response. Hauge, the Central Coast Section 100-meter champion last spring as a junior, took a handoff on a jet sweep and jetted 47 yards for a touchdown to give the Acorns their first points.

But the second half belonged to Live Oak, which went to its bread and butter, the power ground attack, to move the ball and keep it away from the home team. Live Oak went into the game averaging 237 yards rushing per game. They finished with 233 on Friday. The Acorns proceeded to march 96 yards in 13 plays, 12 rushing, with Anden Rogers scoring on a 2-yard run to take a 28-24 lead with 4:54 left. They went to a single-wing formation during that drive with Rogers receiving the snap at tailback.
