Gold 45 Outlaws 13
Denver RB Corey True (pictured above) ran for 167 yards and 2 TD's, including this one that put the Gold ahead for good as they improve to 7-0 this season. Denver had a balanced attack, 228 passing yards and 254 rushing and was a perfect 6 for 6 in the red zone.
Gamblers 27 VooDoo 10
Houston just keeps on rolling along, though they had another sluggish first half. This time the sluggishness continued well into the 4th qtr, as they only led the 1 win VooDoo by 10 at the 2 minute warning. Mark Lambert's 2nd TD of the day sealed it.
Stars 30 Hornets 3
Baltimore keeps rolling themselves with an easy 30-3 win over struggling Charlotte, the last winless team in the league. The Stars held the ball for just under 37 minutes and Jon Snow threw 4 TD passes, 2 to Knob Creek.
Stallions 28 Force 21
Legion Field was the site of this important South Division showdown and a win by visiting Georgia would have put them in a tie with Birmingham at the top. The Force defense intercepted Stallions QB David Schmitt 3 times and led 21-20 midway through the 4th qtr after the 3rd TD pass from Norris Thomas. Birmingham wasn't ready to give up the division lead though, as this Richard Sutton TD run at the 2 minute warning gave Birmingham the W.
Sun 45 Hawaiians 30
These 2 teams combined for 1002 total yards and 36 4th qtr points. Sun WR Norman Shaw had himself a game. He had 6 catches, 284 yards with 4 TD's.
Blazers 49 Renegades 17
The previous game wasn't even the highest combined yardage from week 7 as the Florida Blazers got off the schneid in a HUGE way, crushing one of their in state rivals. The teams combined for 1061 yards, 682 of those from Florida. Blazers RB Lucas Irwin ran for 220 yards while teammate WR Zachary Powell had 211 receiving yards.
Blitz 18 Wheels 7
Detroit scored the only TD of the game but they also had the only 2 turnovers as Chicago rode 6 Matthew Eno FG's to victory.
Breakers 19 NY Stars 8
Boston only managed 194 yards of offense but the chuck and duck offense of the Stars turned it over 4 times (36-60-4 297 yards). The Breakers jumped out to a 13-0 1st qtr lead and held on for victory.
Thunderbolts 30 Express 15
Los Angeles fumbled away a chance to put some distance between them and Hawaii. The stats were mostly even for both teams, except for 3 lost fumbles and 3 sacks allowed by LA. Cleveland jumped out to an early 17-0 lead then held on for victory.
Generals 27 SaberCats 21
New Jersey has been doing just enough to win this year, but haven't looked good doing it. QB Ric Flair had been having a pretty good season taking over for Stephen Labelle, but today Flair looked like the patsy in the opening match who gets pinned in 3 minutes flat. San Jose held New Jersey to 93 passing yards but 3 turnovers quashed the upset bid.
Bell 20 Steamer 0
Philadelphia won despite less passing yards than New Jersey. The Bell had 65 gross passing yards and were sacked twice for -20 for 45 total yards in the air. Good thing success isn't measured in yards, as 4 Steamer turnovers extend their scoreless streak to 8 quarters plus.
Federals 51 Maulers 16
One team that has no problems scoring is the Washington Federals. They mauled Pittsburgh and their 51 points give them a whopping 262 in 7 games, or 37.4 ppg, which is almost a full TD better per game than 2nd highest scoring team Houston.. New Jersey's World Bowl run may be coming to an end this year.
Showboats 37 Gunslingers 29
Speaking of ending World Bowl runs, Houston needs to watch their backs as Memphis continues to look strong. The Gunslingers dominated time of possession 38-22, had 23 first downs to 11 and won the turnover battle 4-0 but none of that mattered to Memphis. The Showboats showed the big play today, turning 16 completions into 322 passing yards. For the mathematically challenged, that's 20 yards per completion. Are we playing 4.3?
Bulls 22 Bandits 14
Florida week! Our league's 4 Florida teams faced off, and this one lacked the offensive fireworks of Orlando @ Florida. Jacksonville jumped out to a 16-0 lead before Tampa cut it to 16-14 early 4th. From there, Jacksonville kicked 2 FG's while Tampa turned it over twice on downs.
Wranglers 31 Panthers 12
The Panthers had over 100 more yards than Arizona but 4 turnovers did them no favors. Wrangler PK Ronald Hensley kicked 6 FG's.
Invaders 19 Storm 3
Oakland came into the game 4-2 and the Invaders are in the playoff hunt, yet the stadium is only 2/3 full? No wonder the Raiders are leaving for Las Vegas. I wish we had an Elias Sports Bureau that could look up obscure stats quickly because I would bet Storm RB Kristopher Brown had a historically horrible game. Brown rushed 23 times for minus 3 yards and caught 2 passes for 2 yards. That's -1 yard on 25 touches, which is on par with my old RG Dave Lapham giving up 7 sacks in one game bad.
