By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 8:27 PM

Not a gamble on the two.  I was distracted and the snap was mishandled.   I still think it was Swann's fault.  Haahha.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 8:24 PM

Phoenix try for two and are denied.  Score Phoenix 34 Vipers 28 with 8:54 to go in the game.   Sanderson rocketed up the right sideline untouched.  The two point gamble could haunt the Phoenix.

Phoenix 28 Vipers 21.  What a hard hitting well played battle so far.  Still about 87 degrees and under the lights.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 8:06 PM

First down to Byers at the Viper 49.  Garza is back in.  What a tough horse.  First down to Boaz at the Viper 37 to end the third quarter.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 8:01 PM

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 7:51 PM

Gavin Johnson coughs it up on the fifteen on the Phoenix's first play after the punt.  Vipers marching deep in Phoenix territory.  Movement on the Viper line moves the ball back from the six to the Phoenix 11 yard line.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 7:16 PM

One unsportsmanlike conduct call on Vipers and two on Phoenix, all on one play give them the ball on the 17 to set up the field goal.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 7:10 PM

Quick slant to Sanderson for the score.  He caught a tough one in traffic then scampers in for the score. 

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 7:08 PM

Lumpkin on a crossing route.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 6:39 PM

Jamming it down their throat.

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 6:36 PM

By GameBlogger on 6/23/2007 6:26 PM
