Shock for the Spartans! Quarterback Sturgeon injured - 6:29 against Augsburg

In the exciting eSport of the American Football, the Neu-Ulm Spartan had to accept a bitter defeat against the Augsburg Centurions today. With a final score of 6:29, the Spartans could not support their ambitions on the square in the sun. The team, which currently ranks three with two defeats, has to struggle with injury problems, where the quarterback Hunter Sturgeon is not uninvolved. The latter suffered a break in the course of the game and had to leave the field prematurely after shining with a 30-yard run beforehand, but then lost the ball after a stop by the defender. He returned for a short moment to throw a pass on Tobias Spohn, who scored the first six points for the Spartans. Coach Daniel Koch admitted that the loss of Sturgeon was not easy to compensate for and spoke of a losing streak that the team is plagued. Patrick Schempf then took over the quarterback position in the first quarter, but this restricted the offensive possibilities of the Spartans.

The team had passed with flying colors last week at the away game against Passau Pirates and won with a superiority with 63: 0. In this game, Sturgeon triumphed and scored four of the nine touchdowns alone. At that time, however, the Spartans competed with a weakened squad in which some key players were missing due to injury. But the team performed strongly and already achieved a comfortable lead of 28: 0 at halftime. In the defense, the team left no room for doubt, they stopped the first attack by the pirates and forced them to punt.

injuries as a spoiler

injury problems are not only an issue in the NFL, the Spartans also hit the Spartans in the domestic field. According to experts, the frequency of injuries has a direct impact on the course of the season and this can quickly become a challenge for every team. Last season, NFL teams were affected by a record of missed starts, and quarterback injuries are often decisive. Data show that injuries to quarterback have a much larger impact on the overall performance of a team than the failure of other positions. This risk must be taken into account, since teams such as the Spartans can quickly get under pressure without their key players and with a high number of injured players.

Back to the Spartans: The upcoming games will show whether the team can compensate for the injuries. However, the outlook remains dark, considering that the team has suffered a lot of bad luck since the beginning of the season and hopes for the return of players like Hunter Sturgeon. It remains to be seen how the team will cut off on the table, especially since they have to assert themselves against strong opponents.

The next game of the Neu-Ulm Spartan will be crucial for the team to heal the wounds of this defeat and find the right direction. The use and the team strength will be decisive.
