Arena Football Week 4 Roundup: Mustangs Buck Power



Milwaukee Mustangs 63, Pittsburgh Power 40
The Power opened the scoring with a field goal from Collin Wagner and that would be the team's last lead of the game. Milwaukee QB Gino Guidugli paved the way, scoring six touchdowns, three through the air and three with his legs. Even the Mustangs' backup QB, Shane Boyd, got in on the act throwing for two touchdowns himself. Marcus Everett had two interceptions in the game for Milwaukee. There weren't many highlights for the Power, however, Tyre Young had six carries for 41 yards and managed to score his first touchdown with Pittsburgh. Bill Stull left the game with an injury leaving the Power in search of a new quarterback yet again, something they've grown far too accustomed to in their brief existence.

San Antonio Talons 47, Orlando Predators 34
Orlando's offensive woes continued with another low-scoring output. They are averaging just 36 points per game through three games in 2012. On the Talons side, future hall-of-famer Aaron Garcia threw for six touchdowns, four to Carl Moore who added 141 yards, and two to Jason Willis who went for 133 yards.

Arizona Rattlers 56, Kansas City Command 28
Much like Orlando, Kansas City's offense remained completely inept, scoring 28 to lower their season average to just under 32 points per game. Both Kansas City quarterbacks were released after the loss. Nick Davila stayed hot with a seven touchdown performance, throwing three of those to his new favorite target, Maurice Purify.


Tampa Bay Storm 71, Jacksonville Sharks 69
Former Pittsburgh Power quarterback Bernard Morris nearly led the Jacksonville Sharks to a last minute win in his first game back when he threw a 42 yard touchdown pass to Terrance Smith with 4.5 seconds remaining. Unfortunately the Tampa Bay Storm had other plans. Pass interference was called on Jacksonville as time expired and Tampa Bay capitalized with a one yard strike from Stephen Wasil to Prechae Rodriguez on the untimed down. Rodriguez was the star of the game with five receiving touchdowns.

San Jose Sabercats 69, Spokane Shock 35
Mark Grieb had a fine day as usual throwing for seven touchdowns in the game and 315 yards passing and a rushing touchdown to go with it. Ben Nelson accounted for 165 of those yards and three of those touchdowns. Terrance Sanders had 196 kick return yards and a touchdown for Spokane.

Chicago Rush 62, Iowa Barnstormers 61
Rodney Filer's three rushing touchdowns for the Barnstormers just wouldn't be enough as Chicago was able to squeak out a win in a nail-biter in overtime. Iowa's Craig Camay's missed extra point gave Chicago's Mike Salerno the chance to win the game with his own extra point in overtime and he converted. WR Jesse Schmidt also had a big day for Iowa with 154 yards and three touchdowns. Chicago QB Russ Michna threw for seven touchdowns, three to Reggie Gray, and Vic Hall led the way on defense with 15.5 tackles and a fumble recovery.

New Orleans VooDoo 72, Utah Blaze 57
Kurt Rocco had a stellar day throwing for nine touchdowns in the VooDoo win. Greg Ellingson had 11 catches for 167 yards and four touchdowns. Alvin Jackson had a fantastic day on defense with three picks. On Utah's side Mike Lewis ended the game with 2.5 sacks and Ernie Pierce had four receiving touchdowns in the losing effort.

Cleveland Gladiators 68, Philadelphia Soul 62
The Gladiators looked sharp offensively as John Dutton threw for nine touchdowns. Dominick Goodman looked superb going for 121 yards and five touchdowns. Tiger Jones led the charge for the Soul with eight catches for 121 yards.
