In the turnover department, Utah had less; two fumbles while losing one, to three fumbles lost by Orlando. While Orlando took the early lead, it was the Blaze that were in front most of the first half. When push came to shove though, the score was tied 35-35 at half.
The crux of the game boiled down to missed extra point attempts, leaving Utah on the short end of the score and needing a last second heave into the end zone from the 19 yard line to pull within two and have a chance to tie. The pass was incomplete, and Orlando won. Orlando goes to 1-2 on the season, notching their first victory. Utah remains totally defeated at 0-3.
Best game number No. 2
The New Orleans Voodoo racked up 76, yes seventy-six points on their way to victory over the Tampa Bay Storm. I’m not sure why an Arena team is named after a storm seeing as how all games are indoors, but who am I to judge. I guess in and of itself Tampa Bay could just be known for some good storms. Today though, the Storm was just a light rain, and New Orleans beats Tampa 76-55.
New Orleans pretty much controlled the game all evening, scoring 34 in the second period to Tampa’s big ole’ ZERO. Tampa Bay did rack up 313 yards of passing offense in defeat. Jordan James of the Voodoo had seven catches for 112 yards and four touchdowns, while Tampa Bay ran seven rushing plays for a minus three yards. Ooof… Both teams are 2-1 and tied for the top spot in the National Southern Division.
Still Undefeated No. 1
The Columbus Destroyers were at home for the first time this season, and the Cleveland Gladiators were on the road for the first time. All that hometown cheering should translate into a win yes? NO! Columbus loses to Cleveland 59-57. The trio of Raymond Philyaw, Redd, and Amey continue the scoring extravaganza that is Cleveland so far this year.
The Gladiators, in their first year in Cleveland, move to 3-0 on the season and drop Columbus to 0-3. This inter-state match up of division rivals was an important one for both teams. The game played down to the wire, with Columbus needing a two point conversion to tie and send the game into overtime. The pass came up incomplete, making the home crowd retire in a foul mood.
