QB/WR Greg Orlando scored one touchdown each by running and receiving as Santa Margarita scored on every offensive possession for the first time in school history. Nick Sparks connected on a 37-yard field goal in the first quarter to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead. It was his school record 13th career field goal. Bryant Wolfsberger reeled off runs of 42, 17 and 39 before scoring on a five yard run to make it 10-0. On that drive the Eagles gained 120 yards because of 35 yards in offensive penalties.

With 8:29 left in the 2nd quarter, Carson Palmer made his season debut. He completed a 39-yard pass to Orlando before Wolfsberger ran for 30 yards to build the lead to 17-0. With 3:15 left Palmer hit Minardi with a 20-yard Td to make it 24-0, and less than two minutes later Carson hit Orlando with a 45-yard Td with 1:25 left to make it 31-0 at the half.
