It wasn’t a conventional football game played at Southeast, but it was football.

And Friday’s scrimmage at Raider Field, dubbed “Raider Bowl II” still generated the excitement of a regular-season game, with roughly 200 Southeast faithful in attendance to see offense beat the defense, 39-12.

The quarterback-receiver tandem of Tanner McCutchen and David Rayborn, one of the Raiders’ newest additions, was the difference.

Rayborn only caught two passes but one was a 55-yard touchdown for the scrimmage’s day’s biggest play. He finished with 67 receiving yards.

McCutchen, who will be a senior this season, was throwing sharp, crisp passes and moving around comfortably in the pocket, finishing with 103 passing yards and two touchdowns on 9-for-18 passing and receivers dropped five passes. McCutchen added 32 rushing yards on five carries.

Rayborn, a 6-foot-4-inch tight end/receiver, will be a sophomore this season. After spending last season on the junior varsity team, he could play a key role in this year’s passing attack.

“I’m definitely ready,” Rayborn said. “Me and Tanner work great together. He throws well and I catch well, so we should score some more touchdowns this year and hopefully get some wins. I dropped some passes, but I can’t be perfect. I’ve just got to work hard on getting faster and stronger.”

Raider Bowl II marks the second spring game of coach David Crane’s tenure. Instead of having his team play a traditional football game, he changed the parameters.

The offense earned one point for a first down, two points for a play over 20 yards, two points for a fourth down conversion, six points for a touchdown and 1oneoint for a PAT. The defense earns two points for a three-and-out, one point for any stop, two points for a fourth down stop, three points for a turnover and nine points for a defensive touchdown.

With a running clock and only a five-minute halftime, it took just 51 minutes to play four 12-minute quarters.

Crane liked what he saw from his team on both sides of the ball.

“The offensive execution was very sharp the first two possessions,” Crane said. “They scored on their first two possessions and Tanner threw good and had good protection. Then the defense responded and took the offense out of rhythm. They battled and got a couple of turnovers.”

The offense scored their first touchdown of the game 7:45 into the first quarter on McCutchen’s 1-yard pass to Zach Harper. McCutchen’s 19-yard pass to Jeremy Bishop on the previous play set up the touchdown.

Harper finished the game with two catches for 17 yards and Bishop three for 35.

Rayborn’s touchdown catch, followed by Carlos Ojeda’s extra point, gave the offense a 20-1 lead after one quarter.
