Pitt state vs. MO southern football game

I was at my first ever American football game on last saturday. The teams try to get points by getting to the opponents goal zone. If team goes 10 yards on their turn at 4 try they get 4 more tries to go 10 more yards.

I didn't find the game very fast paced or exiting. Maybe it isn't so surprising that this is very popular sport in here (and as far as I know, only here in USA) knowing that the Amerian people like also Baseball which is recognised as the worlds most boring game. The game lasted hours, but the time used on playing was far less than the time used on pausing. Here is roughly how the game went: 1. players go on to positions ready to play. 2. Game starts by passing the ball to teammate. Team then tries to carry ball over 10 yards. 3. Opponent tackles the player holding the ball and the game pauses. Steps 2-3 lasted about 5 seconds. Game continues from step 1.

Eventhou I might find the game not so entertaining, I'm still happy that Pitt won. Pitt State won the game by making three touchdowns (carries to goalzone) and three other points (kicks through U-goal after T-down) vs. MO doing only 2 touchdowns and 2 other points.
