Oklahoma City Renegades @ Orlando Intimidators

Recap

In what turned out to be an ugly offensive game, Oklahoma City had just enough consistency and defense to stop the Intimidators from an 12-point comeback in the final two minutes to improve to 2-1.

Pete Bruschi rushed for 135 yards and scored three times but Zach Parker was the bigger story. Parker rushed for just 25 yards on 19 carries, did not score and was a non-factor the entire night.

Oklahoma City’s Wes St. Clair wasn’t much better. The gold star QB threw four interceptions giving him six on the season, second worst in the league.

Orlando started on fire with back-to-back interceptions from linebacker Steven Lambert and corner Marcus Dorsett. That built a 10-0 Orlando lead, but the offense scored just 13 points the rest of the way, including a touchdown pass to Nathan Chambers to cut the fourth quarter deficit to five.

The Renegades were perfect in the red zone, converting all three trips into touchdowns. Oklahoma City has scored 4 touchdowns in 6 red zone trips on the year, best in the league, tied with Dallas. Orlando had one touchdown in four trips.

On fourth down, 19 yards away from a complete comeback, Walker’s fourth down pass was batted down at the line by Oklahoma City’s Aurgile McCormick. Oklahoma City became the sixth road team (out of 7) to win on the road this season.
