Week 2 PoTW

In week 2, Jake Plummer of the Quebec Polaires went 24/33 with 344 yards, and 4 Touchdowns, having by far one of the most impressive stats in a game all season. He is now 1st in the league in passing yards with 612 yards. More importantly he helped his defending Champion Polaires pick up their first win of the young season against the Navy.

Week 2 Games Report

Lincoln @ Boise

LIN-7-7-0-0-14

BOI-0-10-7-7-24

Led by 101 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Kenny Irons, the Grizzlies (2-0) were able to defeat the Pioneers (1-1) on Thursday night. After an Irons injury in the 1st quarter, Lincoln took the 7-0 lead on a Rhodes 4-yard touchdown rush. Irons would return to rush for his first touchdown early in the second which was followed by a Huston field goal as a result of a Culpepper fumble to give the Griz a 10-7 lead. Dante Culpepper connected with Dominic Rhodes from 4 yards out to finish the half up 14-10. The second half was all Boise, as a 66-yard Shaun King touchdown run and another Irons score got the lead out to 24-14. Culpepper led the Pioneers down the field one more time at the end of the game only to throw an interception on the 10 to seal the deal.

POTG: Kenny Irons - 2 Rushing TDs, 101 Rushing Yards

Memphis @ Hawaii

MEM-7-7-7-10-31

HAW-0-6-3-7-16

The Memphis Kings (1-1) were able to convert on many Hawaii (1-1) mistakes to pull out the 31-16 victory. The Tropics turnover woes began when the opening drive ended on the Memphis 9 after a Colt Brennan interception. A pair of Marvin Harrison touchdown receptions put the Kings up 14-0 early before Colt Brennan was able to get his 3rd rushing touchdown of the season but Shane Graham missed the extra point after missing a 51-yard field goal earlier. The Tropics were able to get a stop at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, but stalled on the Memphis 6 and had to settle for a 23-yard field goal bringing it to 14-9. After a Martin Gramatica missed field goal, the Tropics were not able to convert on the good field position, throwing an interception that led to a D. Dickerson 40-yard touchdown reception putting the Kings up 21-9 at the end of 3. Freddie Barnes scored his first career pro football touchdown on a 94-yard kickoff return to begin the 4th quarter and give the Tropics some life. But an Andre Dixon touchdown put the Kings back up by 12 with 2:31 to go in the game before Colt Brennan was intercepted for a third time in the game, sealing the deal before the Kings tacked on a 28-yard field goal with :31 left.

POTG: Graham Harrell - 3 Passing TDs, 326 Passing Yards

Las Vegas @ San Antonio

LV-0-14-7-7-28

SA-0-3-7-0-10

The Aces (1-1) went into San Antonio and beat the Nightmare (0-2) behind a strong 3 touchdown effort from JP Wilson. After a boring first quarter, the Aces got on the board first when Wilson and Hall connected for a 5-yard touchdown before the Nightmare responded with a 41-yard field goal to make it 7-3. A Roscoe Parrish 59-yard touchdown return put the Aces up 14-3 right before the half. A Kevin Jones 1-yard touchdown run gave the Aces a commanding 21-3 lead early in the 3rd before LeGarrette Blount punched one in from 4-yards out to cut the lead to 11. Bubba Franks then hooked up with John Parker Wilson for the 9-yard touchdown pass and the lead was back out to 18, effectively ending the scoring as the Aces pulled out a relatively easy victory in San Antonio.

POTG: John Parker Wilson - 3 Passing TDs, 213 Passing Yards

Quebec @ Connecticut

QUE-7-14-9-0-30

CON-3-3-0-16-22

The Polaires (1-1) survived a comeback by the Connecticut Navy (0-2) to hold on for the defending champions' first win of the season. The Navy started off the scoring on a 43-yard field goal before the Polaires answered with a touchdown pass from Jake Plummer to Joe Horn. Plummer would hook up with Horn again for another score early in the second to stretch the lead out to 14-3. Plackemeir would hit again, this time from 24-yards out to cut the lead down to 8 before Plummer would lead the Polaires down the field for a third touchdown pass of the game to get the lead back up to 15. The Polaires stalled on their first drive of the second half but pinned Connecticut on their own 3. Ahman Green couldn't get the ball out of the endzone, and the safety made the Quebec lead 23-6. Plummer would then throw his fourth touchdown pass of the game, this time to Deuce, to make the lead 24 with two and a half minutes still remaining in the 3rd. White would hit Green for a touchdown to start the 4th and the Navy would convert the 2 point conversion bringing the lead down to 16 and the lead was cut to 8 on a White to Cosby touchdown and a following 2 point conversion from the Navy. Out of timeouts, they had to onside kick, but the Polaires would prevail 30-22. Connecticut HB Rudi Johnson was injured with a broken thumb and will be out 4 weeks (return Week 6 after the ASG) while Quebec TE Todd Yoder will be out for Week 3's game with back spasms.

Quebec @ Lincoln (Globe Game in London)
QUE 0-7-3-6-16

Led by two kickoff returns for touchdowns, one for Justin Woodall and one for Brandon Lloyd, the Pioneers (1-0) kicked off their first year in Lincoln with a victory over the defending champion Polaires (0-1). Daunte Cullpepper completed 19 of 24 passes and two touchdowns in the win while Quebec's Jake Plummer threw costly interceptions. The Pioneers dominated the game throughout to pick up the franchise's first regular season victory ever and the first win in Lincoln.

POTG: Justin Woodall - 2 INT, 1 KRTD

San Antonio @ Hawaii

SAN 0-7-10-0-17

HAW 7-17-7-0-31

In the first game at the brand new Hawaiian Airlines Stadium at the Boardwalk, the Hawaii Tropics (1-0) led by new QB Colt Brennan, defeated their division rivals, the Nightmare (0-1). The Trops took an early lead, but were denied an early 14-0 lead on a goal line stand. Shane Graham had a 57-yard FG attempt blocked in the 2nd quarter, but on the next drive converted from 52. The Tropics scored twice in the final 1:03 before the half, as a SA fumble put the game out of reach early. The victory was a costly one though for the Tropics, as they have lost RB Ian Johnson to a broken wrist for the next 12 weeks. He would be able to return for MLF Championship 3 at the earliest.

POTG: Colt Brennan - 2 Passing TDs, 2 Rushing TDs

Connecticut @ Alabama

CON 0-7-14-14-35

ALA 14-14-7-7-42

The Gladiators (1-0) were able to get out to a quick 28-0 lead and hang on to get the 42-35 victory over the Navy (0-1) to open the season Friday night. Before the game, former Gladiator Darren Sproles had his jersey retired before the game and being the honorary coin flipper. The retired jersey can be seen here. After two Michael Vick touchdowns to put Alabama up 28-0, John Kitna led the Navy down the field to get a touchdown on the board before the half. After another Navy touchdown to start of the 2nd half, the lead was cut to 28-14. The Gladiators stretched the lead back out to 21 when Korean Robinson took the kickoff back 83-yards for the touchdown. After Connecticut QB Jon Kitna went down, former Hawaii Tropic Jason White led the Navy on a comeback and was able to cut the lead to 7 with 1:06 left in the game before the Gladiators recovered to onside kick to run out the clock. Alabama RB Michael Smith will be out until Week 4 with Elbow Bursitis and Connecticut QB Jon Kitna will be out until the MLF Championship with a broken collarbone.

POTG: Michael Vick - 3 Passing TDs, 1 Rushing TD

Boise @ Las Vegas

BOI 7-7-7-0-21

LV 7-3-0-6-16

Despite a 62 yard fumble returned for a touchdown to start the game, the Aces (0-1) weren't able to handle King and the Grizzlies (1-0). The Grizzlies answered with a Kenny Irons touchdown. Shaun Suisham made a 24 yard field goal with under a minute left in the 2nd to take a 10-7 lead for the Aces, but Shaun King led his Grizzlies down the field for a touchdown right before halftime, giving the Grizzlies a 14-10 halftime lead. Boise got a huge interception returned for a touchdown to stretch the lead to 21-10. The Aces were able to score late but failed a 2 point conversion. The Grizzlies ran out the clock to pick up the win in their season openers.

POTG: Tavares Gooden (BOI) - 7 TACK, 1 TFL, 1 INT (TD)

Louisville @ Memphis

LOU 7-0-14-21-42

MEM 3-21-0-6-30

Louisville's new starting quarterback Jevan Snead out of Ole Miss led the Shockers (1-0) past the Kings (0-1) in a rivalry game to start the season. Martin Gramatica kicked a 23-yard field goal to start off the scoring in this wide open game before Snead threw his first MLF Touchdown on the next drive. The Kings got 3 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter, 1 on a Pick 6 to go up 24-7 at the half and this game looked like it would be a blowout. The Shockers returned from the break a brand new team however, and Davenport and Snead touchdowns cut the lead to 3 by the end of the 3rd. Louisville was able to take the lead in the 4th and then a costly fumble for Memphis allowed the Shockers to stretch the lead out to 11. After a big kickoff return from Marvin Harrison, the Kings were able to cut the lead to 5 before failing the 2-point conversion. The Shockers got an insurance touchdown to take the lead 42-30, the final score.

POTG: Jevan Snead - 3 Passing TDs, 300+ Yards

Team Builder

Alright, I am back from the beach so I'm ready for the season haha, I know everyone else is ready for it too. I've already update Alabama and Hawai'i in team builder, next will be Quebec and Lincoln (Albuquerque), since they play first. Some things concerning that game, Lincoln has released a possible wordmark and color combo (hopefully they will swap in gold for green :P) so I can make them some generic under armor practice style uniforms on team builder until they reveal everything. Also how's the Globe Game logo coming Mykl? Whenever he gets done with it, I'll do like I did last year and just make a "team" with the Globe Game logo and Stadium, so Sizemore you'll have to download Quebec, Lincoln, and the Globe Game "team". That way the field will look good and it will really be a mutual style game.
