If I told you that the Soul did not have the lead at any point in the game until the last 10 seconds of the game, you would have told me I was nuts. But that is exactly what happened. The SaberCats defense was en fuego in the early goings in the game. (too fuego is you ask me. It was almost as if they knew what was coming before we did, but this is another conversation for another day.) The SaberCats defense was so good that they kept the Soul from scoring any points in the first quarter and held them to just 14 at the half. The QB Matt D'Orazio and DB/KR Mike Brown took over. These two simply will the Soul to victory. Down 33-14 to start the second half, the Soul recieved first crack on offense. Mike Brown returned the kickoff 40+ yards to bring the ball to the SaberCats 17. On the subsequent play D'Orazio threw a touchdown pass to WR Larry Brackins. The Soul go on to score 44 more points from there, while holding the SaberCats to 24.

Some thoughts about this game

- Tony Graziani was supposed to start this game but was a late scratch

- On the 2 point conversion, where the Soul finally took the lead, there was no QB. Mabry had to snap the ball to Clifton Smith, who rumbled for the conversion. They had lined up like that, then the SaberCats called time out and then the Soul just ran the play anyway. I like this mentality. Show the opposing team what you are going to to and basically say "Hey, you can't stop it." Kudos to Munsey/Maynor for the play design.

- The SaberCats cheerleaders are smoking hot

- WR Chris Jackson got away with one when he slapped the boards with his right hand before he scored on a 41yard TD with about a minute to play. SaberCats fans have every right to be pissed on that one.

- Do the refs know what holding his when they see it? Part of the reason the Soul's defense looked so bad in the first half is because Save, Strong, Nyenhuis, and Dunn were getting mugged. It was pretty obvious too.

- DE Derrick Strong could be the other end Munsey has been looking for to compliment Save and Nyenhuis

- Can we please stop having to go to San Jose every year? How about every once and a while they come here? Or maybe we can go to Arizona?

That's about all I have to say about this game. Next up, the team that everyone seems to be overlooking, the Columbus Destroyers.

Oh and Dallas won again. They head into a bye week next week, so they will remain undefeated when they come here.
