“It’s one of those things where it’s unfortunate because we play clean football for the most part then we have issues like those come up but ultimately we got the win and that’s all that matters.”
Penalties have plagued the team all season long, a byproduct of the way the team plays according to the head coach.
“I think we play a certain physical brand of football that is not normal to the way everybody else is doing.
When you get out there and you have a team that’s not prepared to play that level of football it’s a bit tough for them to match the intensity and the level, and when that happens you get penalties.
“It’s a double edged sword because if we ease up on one side then we lose it on the other. We know we are going to take some penalties but we just have to be better on how we take those penalties and when.”
The Sun were able to move the ball early, in part due to some good field position. On their second drive, they went 63 yards in just five plays, capped off by Hardisty's 12 yard touchdown run.
Then, after an Ahmed Borhot interception, Liam Kroeger needed just five plays to go 69 yards ending in a 13 yard strike to Sam Melanson at the end of the first quarter.
They had trouble getting any traction for the better part of two quarters, but were unable to build on that lead thanks to the other phases of the fame.
Falconer, who had the one punt return touchdown called back, would not be denied in the dying seconds of the first half when he took a punt at his own 15 and raced 95 yards down the right sidelines to put the Sun up 24-0.
Early in the third quarter, Ty Walker, a converted wide receiver, jumped a route and sprinted 86 yards untouched for a pick-six to grow the lead to 31-0.
The offence finally found some rhythm later in the quarter, going 62 yards in eight plays before Hardisty found paydirt from three yards out.
The Raiders avoided the shutout with a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns but were unable to convert either.
Miller said part of the problem on offence was a bunch of new schemes that didn’t quite work.
“We tried to do some new things tonight that didn’t work and I think we just have to get back to the basics which is just run the ball and execute our play action and screen game a little better.
“There’s a lot of things we need to work on but ultimately it was a performance that I think we’ll look to forget, move forward and try to build on.”
Kroeger, who threw for more than 400 yards a week ago, was just 12 for 121 for 139 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
Hardisty, the league rushing champion ran for an even 100 yards and the two scores.
The Sun amassed 350 yards in total offence while the Raiders were able to put up 253 yards including 115 on the ground.
The Sun will host the BCFC Cullen Cup championship game next Saturday afternoon.
