Stover Saves The Day

The Bristol Bay Vipers fail to pull it out in the end. On the Vipers opening series, Jay Randolph hit Travontae Edwards on a quick slant, Edwards broke Champ Bailey's arm tackle and took it 72 yards for a touchdown, thanks in large part to a Darrin Easley block on Brian Dawkins.

Denver looked like they would answer on their next drive but a clipping call stalled them and they were forced to try a 48 yards field goal but Matt Stover didnt have the leg.

In the second quarter both teams put field goals on the board, The Vipers held a 10-3 led at halftime.

After a missed field goal by Oliver Lacy, Denver took over at the 29 yard line and drove right down the field thanks in large part to a 49 yard pass to Tony Scheffler. The catch set up a 17 yard run by Moreno. Just second later Smith picked off a bad pass, setting up Denver for another score.

The Vipers were down 17-10, they took the ball down the field thanks to some timely passes. Tony Goosen broke off a 23 yard touchdown run to tie up the game, but it wont last long. A couple minutes later Jay Randolph threw his 2 INT of the game, but this time it was returned for a touchdown, giving Denver a 24-17 led going into the 4th quarter.

Tony Goosen scored his second touchdown late in the 4th quarter, but Denver wasted almost the rest of the clock, while setting themselves up for a game winning field goal. This time Matt Stover had the leg.
