[RT3]

Come on VooDoo... let's get win # 1

game's on Cox4... but if you can't watch there... website here: New Orleans VooDoo, Ustream.TV: The New Orleans VooDoo competes in the Arena Football League, and is a member of the American Conference South Division..

 

[RT3]

Blaze have opening possession... 3rd & Goal at VooDoo 3 and Alvin Ray Jackson gets a pick in the end zone... big play by the D on the 1st drive of the game

and the VooDoo go 4 & out... Blaze ball 1st & Goal at the VooDoo 5

QB Rocco was sacked on 4th... Blaze D had 10 sacks in 1 game a few weeks ago

1 play later... UTA turns it into a 7-0 lead

VooDoo used their 3rd 4th down conversion on the drive to tie the game at 7-7

1 long kick return and 22 yd pass later... 14-7 UTA

VooDoo 7-14 Blaze End 1st Qtr

VooDoo open 2nd qtr w/ 10 yd TD pass from Rocco to Castille... 14-14

Another pick by the VooDoo D (Kellem got it)... 2nd of the night

Ellingson left wide open (as D. Henderson was in the '09 Patriots game) for a 40 yd TD... PAT no good... 20-14 VooDoo

Blaze QB runs for a 25 yd TD (challenged by the VooDoo)... overturned saying he fumbled before crossing the goal line and ball hit the back wall... VooDoo ball on the touchback... 20-14 VooDoo w/ possession... VooDoo +3 already in the turnover ratio

Ref is Shawn Hochuli... wonder if there's a relationship to Ed "Muscles" Hochuli?

VooDoo take advantage... Rocco to Ellingson 19 yds and a 27-14 VooDoo lead

VooDoo special teams having issues... just had the 2nd kickoff where the kicker Schene had to play a role in the tackle... fortunate both weren't TDs

Powerball makes us miss a Blaze TD... back in time to see the PAT... 27-21 VooDoo

at the 1:00 warning it's 27-21 VooDoo... NO facing 4th & 10 at own 11... Rocco finds Castille wide open for a 39 yd TD... 34-21 VooDoo... :51.9 left

VooDoo onside kick attempt fails... Blaze ball at NO 14... :47 left

tough call against the VooDoo... looks like they stopped the FB on a dive play at the 1... SJ signaled TD... 34-28 VooDoo w/ :04.8 left

Schene 48 yd FG attempt at the horn is no good... VooDoo push returner out of bounds quickly

VooDoo 34-28 Blaze Halftime

 

[RT3]

VooDoo set to receive the 2nd half kickoff... Leading 34-28

Rocco to Bush (Josh... not Reggie) for 26 yd TD... PAT no good (that's 2 PAT misses Shene... not good)... 40-28 VooDoo

Utah gets a 21 yd TD pass... 40-35 VooDoo... the missed PATs are starting to concern me

Rocco pulls an Aaron Brooks... back to pass and the ball slips backwards... he recovers it in the end zone... tackled there for the safety... 40-37 VooDoo... Blaze about to get the ball back

Schene compounds that issue by kicking it out of bounds to give Utah the ball at the 20

11 yd TD pass for the Blaze... 44-40 Blaze retake the lead

Rocco to Ellingson for 9 yds... TD VooDoo... 47-44 VooDoo (Rocco got blasted play before TD... he was a bit gimpy) Ellingson 10 rec 142 yds 4 TDs right now

kickoff fun in the AFL... big bounce off iron... Blaze recover... but fumble... VooDoo recover... VooDoo ball... VooDoo +4 on turnovers

Rocco sneaks in from 1 yd out... 54-44 VooDoo lead

VooDoo starting to look like a MASH unit... WR J. Bush is in on D now... Ellingson just had his arm banged up... several players have suffered injuries in this game

VooDoo 54-44 Blaze End 3rd Qtr

Utah QB falls down after getting stepped on... gets on his knee and pitches a TD pass... 2 pt conversion no good... 54-50 VooDoo lead

Weird drive ends with Rocco to Castile from 10 yds out... TD... then the PAT is blocked... 60-50 VooDoo lead

Shene's put a couple off the iron... but the FG kicking needs work (block isn't his fault though)... and then kicked a couple out of bounds in the field of play... he's real inconsistant

another 1 play drive for Utah... 45 yd TD pass... 60-57 VooDoo

1 play drive for the VooDoo... Rocco to Skyler Green (hey fighting tiger)... 39 yd TD pass... PAT no good again (sigh... Shene)... 66-57 VooDoo 6:00 left in the game

Alvin Ray Jackson w/ his 2nd INT of the night... now +5 on the night for turnovers

Utah fan gets a bloody nose on a zip pass by Rocco that went into the stands... he ended up w/ the ball too

Green w/ a critical drop on 3rd & 10 from the VooDoo's own 4... would've been a 1st down near midfield at the 1:00 warning. As it is... 66-57 VooDoo w/ 1:00 left... 4th down for the VooDoo

4th down conversion no good...1st & goal Utah at the NO 2

Pick 6 by the VooDoo... Brutus got it... 6th Utah turnover on the night... I think I can safely say... ball game... PAT no good (low snap...still... not good Shene)... 72-57 VooDoo :43.3 left

Alvin Ray Jackson ends the game with his 3rd interception of the night... 7th turnover by the VooDoo D

VooDoo 72-57 Blaze Final

VOODOO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
