2023 UFFL season week 9 results and week 10 preview!
General | Posted a year agoHiya, Marty here , with the results of this short week 9!:
- In Las Vegas, the Bandits are on their way to gain some ground over the Outlaws in the division, as they face off against the California Demons. Having upset the Baltimore Ponies last week, the Bandits knew not to take them lightly, and they did just that. While the Demons out-threw the Bandits, Vegas played an efficient game where they rely on the run, running for a combined 156 yards on the Demon's defense. The Demons were out of rhythm all game, as their defense stepped up, thanks to Moises Soto (4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery). Vegas wins this one 27-7.
- In Baltimore, the Ponies were attempting to recover from a bad performance last week, but it would not be easy against a Colorado team there always a challenge to fight against. Christian Wright was still at the helm of the Ponies’s offense, as Jillian St-Claire would soon probably be clear to play. But once more, things were difficult. A 3 INTs day made things tough on Baltimore, As Colorado did its damage with their relentless rushing attack, thanks to another great performance from the rookie Erica Blanche de la Rosa (124 yards rushing, 1 TD). Things were close though, as the Ponies got a shot with a 52 yard pick six from Kiyoshi Kiyama, and a 2 points conversion. Unfortunately, they managed nothing in the fourth, as Colorado would be the only one to score. Colorado wins 27-21.
- In New Orleans, not many people were expecting something out of this one. The old saying of “Any given Sunday “ is well established for this type of game. Many were thinking that an angry Downriver waves would just cause chaos to a Corsairs team that had been trying to find themselves all year, but shockingly, it wasn’t meant to be. Perhaps injuries are starting to be an issue for the Waves, as Lillian Newman is starting to look more mortal for the past two weeks, as she had a below average game today. The Corsairs looked to be sick and tired of being the one always bullied after upsets, and went in with an upset of their own, thanks in part to not only a decent 3rd down conversion rate (8/17) but a big game from their star running back Leone Lopez. The skunk ran for an amazing 163 yards all over the Downriver defensive line, as they were in control all day. Johnny Fields even went in for a few snaps at the end as Flip Penguinator had himself a great game (2 TDs, 112,5 QB rating, no picks). Time to push the panic button in Downriver again? New Orleans wins 34-14.
- In the game of the week, a huge divisional battle was on hand, as The Royal faced off against the Easton Bald Eagles. As they along with the Defiant are contesting for the United East title. They knew they could not let that game slip, and let me tell you, this game was a Defensive slugfest. Both teams were matching up against themselves equally, as Both QBs had a tough run, as Appleby would throw his first 2 INTs of the year, while Draco Lindwurm was “just okay” for Easton, sacked twice. An issue this year, the Eagles were well disciplined, as it was the Royal that were caught with the penalties issues. Both teams had all a hell of a time establishing a running game, as this game would come down to a game of inches. And who would gain those inches you may ask?...It would be Montreal, thanks to stellar work of their offensive line efforts, especially from Saverio Anthony ( 7 pancakes, offensive player of the game! ) Montreal would dominate on the possession time (36:41 to 23:19 for Easton). Also in a game in which points came at a premium, Kicker Skye Crista showed why they were one of the best kickers in the league, as they kicked 3 crucial FGs in the second quarter (46,45,52 yards). Easton would bring the game close in the third, as they managed a late TD by Lyra Murphy. But in the fourth, Montreal gave them nothing. In this game of chess, Royal’s coach Machiocha went in and called “Checkmate.” Montreal wins this battle of wits 16-14.
Players of the week:
Offense: Leone Lopez - RB (NOC) 168 yards rushing, 1 TD.
Defense: Moises Soto - DE (LVB) 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery
Special Teams: Skye Crista - K (MTL) 3/3 FGs

2023 UFFL season week 8 results and week 9 Preview!
General | Posted a year agoHello everyone, sorry for the late reply but am finally here for your UFFL news!
First off, here week 8 results:
- Easton at Chicago
The last time these two first-place teams met this season Chicago suffered one of the worst shellackings in team history, allowing 62 points to the Bald Eagles. Fresh off their bye, Easton is looking to repeat the feat, this time in front of Chicago’s home fans. Unfortunately for their ambitions, this would be a much closer game, with neither team having more than a one score lead at any point. The game was surprisingly low-scoring in the first half, with an impressive 62-yard catch and run by Ricky Mitchell the only touchdown scored. Things started to look up in the third quarter, as Easton scored 14 unanswered points to take their first lead of the game. But things would go right back to their back-and-forth nature, with Easton managing to drive down the field and tie the game with a field goal with only 24 seconds remaining. John Gradkowski would bring the ensuing kickoff all the way out of his end zone to the Chicago 40, and two consecutive neutral zone penalties would get Chicago into long field goal range. Thalia Perez attempted the game-winning 57 yard kick, but the kick was wide and the game would go to overtime. Chicago won the toss, and easily made their way down the field, aided by several major defensive penalties by the Bald Eagles. This time, Perez had a much easier chip-shot field goal for the win. Final score: CHI 26, EAS 23
- Nashville at Las Vegas
We go from a close fought game to a total blowout. The Bandits dominated this game from the start, holding the Tuts to under 200 yards of total offense and a paltry 10 yards rushing for the game. Nashville didn’t score their first points of the game until there was less than a minute remaining, deep deep into garbage time. Arnold Tarbour would also follow up last week’s league-record 95 yard punt return TD with a 68 yard score today. And to add insult to injury, Bubba Deezen left the game with a thigh injury on the second play from scrimmage of the game, and is likely to miss time. Final score: LVB 31, NSH 7
- Montreal at New Orleans
This hasn’t been quite the season that Vito Ligustica hoped for. He missed two games due to injury, and was held to less than three yards per carry in two others. He clearly came into today’s contest with a chip on shoulder, as he quickly made up for all of that lost time and potential. He would find the end zone three times, including a career-long 93 yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The Royal passing game, by contrast, didn’t do much, being held to under 200 yards through the air. It wasn’t really needed, however, as Ligustica carried the team to a relatively easy win. On the Corsairs side, Flip Penguinator actually looked really good, throwing for 274 yards and a touchdown. But the New Orleans defense just had no answer for Ligustica and the Royal rushing attack. Final score: MTL 31, NOC 20
- North Florida at Austin
Just go read the Chi/Eas writeup and change the names.
Okay, okay. But seriously, this game had some noticeably similarities to the earlier one, albeit being higher scoring. The Blues jumped out to an early lead with a Nicky Ricky receiving touchdown on their opening drive. But from there the Renegades came back to score 17 unanswered points, and managed to hold that lead despite Austin scoring two more touchdowns and sacking Caryn Becker in the end zone for a safety. North Florida held an eight point lead deep in the fourth quarter, and attempted to ice the game away with a field goal that was wide left. Austin took over at their own 37, and on the first play Kai Koa passed to Carrice Kenton in the flat, and he was off to the races. Lucky von Braunschweig caught up to him at the five yard line, but it was only a temporary reprieve, as they’d score on the next play and successfully convert the two-point attempt to tie the game. And like the earlier game, Austin would win the coin toss, and march down the field to kick a game-winning chip shot field goal. Final score: ATX 34, NFR 31
- Downriver at Colorado
We go from a high-scoring shootout to a low-scoring, defensive battle. Lillian Newman came back to earth a bit after her game-breaking performance last week, only managing 19 yards rushing on four carries. Neither QB had a great game, and in fact they had identical passer ratings of 78.8, far from either player’s career high. When the highlight of the game is rookie back Erica Blanche de la Rosa scoring her first touchdown in four weeks, you know it was a fairly uneventful game. There WAS one real notable play, but it was notable for a bad reason: Downriver defensive end Ronald Heard breaking a leg while attempting a tackle. He’s likely to miss the remainder of the regular season. In the end, the Waves got one more possession down by four, but four straight incompletions would lead to a turnover on downs and a Crushers victory. Final score: COL 17, DWN 13
- Grand Rapids at Richmond
The good news: Tyler Franklin has been a better player under center for Richmond, leading them to their first win last week. The bad news: he’s still thrown five picks in two games, including an awful attempted pass today that went right into the hands of safety Robin Hagefeld, who took it 28 yards for the score. Though Richmond did score 17 points today, the game was nowhere near as close as the final score appears, as most of those points came deep into garbage time when the game was already out of hand for the Flames. The Dragons managed to baffle the Richmond defense with trick plays all game, scoring a touchdown on a double reverse that gave wide receiver Arthur Christopher his first career rushing TD in his twelfth season. However, the REASON they needed to resort to trick plays was that the Grand Rapids offense was actually sputtering without them. They were constantly losing ground to careless penalties, and only managed to rack up a decent rushing total by running the ball 40 times. When an OFFENSIVE TACKLE is the player of the game, you know it’s not been a great day at the office for either team. Final score: GRD 27, RIC 17
- Miami at New York
Well, let’s just rip the bandaid off right away. Miami gave up 42 points for the third time in the last four games. Running back Alex Smith had a career-high three rushing TDs, and Emi Tachibana found Justice Matari in the end zone three times as well. All in all, the Defiant put up 621 yards of offense. So yeah, that happened. However, there WERE positives for the Tropics. Rookie Wil Hudson made his first start under center, and he performed admirably given the game environment, with two touchdown passes and no interceptions. And after allowing a bonanza in the first half, the Miami defense actually stepped up and shut down the Defiant for the remainder of the game. It wasn’t all backups, either. Tachibana stayed in the game for the entire third quarter, and most of the other offensive starters played the entire game. Final score: NYD 42, MIA 14
- California at Baltimore
Baltimore has been the talk of the league in recent weeks, jumping out to an unexpected 4-2 record after winning only six games over the previous two seasons. However, it’s days like today to show that while they may be a much improved team, they’re not quite in the elite tier yet and have plenty of growing to do. While Christian Wright continued to perform well as a career backup thrust into starting duty, drives too often petered out before reaching the red zone. That proved to be a major liability this week, as Tyler Kim missed three field goal attempts. Andrew Castonguay, on the other hand, made all four of his, accounting for half of California’s total points in the game. Kenny Rodriguez, the number two overall pick in the draft, once again underwhelmed, failing to rush for more than 40 yards for the third time in four games. Christian Wright actually out-rushed him on a yards-per-carry basis. Final score: CAL 26, BAL 7
Players of the Week
Offense: Vito Ligustica (RB – MTL): 185 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs
Defense: Kennith Shrader (DE – ATX): 9 tackles (4 for loss), a sack and a safety
Special Teams: Arnold Tarbour (WR – LVB): 3 punt returns for 100 total yards, including a 68 yard return TD

2023 UFFL week 7 results and week 8 preview!
General | Posted a year agoHi! Marty here with the week 7 results! If you want to see the in depth recap of the Thanksgiving game between DWN and ATX, go check it out in our gallery! : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59005980/
and here the rest:
- Thanksgiving weekend starts in California, as the Bandits make their way to face the Demons. In a game where the Demons were fighting tooth and nail to get back to a respectable record, Even with the great efforts of their returning QB Kiedo Masquarde ( 306 passing yards, 2 TDs, no turnovers), the Bandits seemed to be one step ahead of them. The Bandits made a combined effort to run the ball effectively against the Demons’s defensive line, as Rit-Wicky and Stapler earned some rushing touchdowns. What really broke the game in the third quarter was a splendid 95 yards punt return from Arnold Tarbour, when the game was 24-20 Vegas. The Demons did not give up, getting a late TD with a 2 point conversion, but the Bandits iced the game with a late FG kick. Vegas wins a thriller 34-28.
- In Chicago, a heavyweight division bout was happening as the Outlaws squared off against the Royal. It was a scrappy affair as both teams knew each other well and was nothing going to give themselves an inch. While Tremblay was injured, Montreal did have Ligustica back, but Chicago was ready to face him and walled him the whole game, as most of the attacks was done in the air, and also a great kicking contest between Thalia Perez and Skye Crista. Montreal was up 13-10 at Halftime, but eventually, Chicago just showed gritty guts and managed to get one TD pass from Darius Smith in the third and shout things down in the second half, where the Royal had nothing. Chicago won the slugfest 20-13.
- In Nashville, it was a clash of rookies that was about to be interesting. The Tuts were having momentum with Roman Oliviera as the Quarterback and was 2-0 when he was scoring a TD. They needed all the help they needed, as they welcomed the Defiant, with star rookie Emi Tachibana. Both did all they could to bring their A game, but Emi was a little more accurate and effective but while Roman did make mistakes, the New York pass rush was intense and the Tuts had to rely on their running game to keep it close. They were neck and neck in the end, where Nashville led by 1 point with 2:24 left in the game, but New York kicker Emmett Smith capped up a great game, kicking his 5th field goal to get the Defiant over the edge, Defiant wins 22-20.
- Back in Colorado, an important divisional game was going on, as the Dragons were trying to get back into winning ways against the Crushers. Both teams presented a stout defense as in typical fashion the Dragons tried to bring Colorado into a grind game. Been a revelation since the start of the season, rookie Wide Receiver Dahlia Taylor did the brunt of the work with 2 TDs as well of Daniel Van Baarle as the run was ineffective. Aspen Redfield was having a great game, while Dragons QB Corgie Brooks, going in for Burnette, did alright, with one INT. Tied up 17-17 all after 3, it came down to one important sequence in the fourth, As Erica Blanche de la Rosa, was trapped in her endzone, backed up and brought down for a safety, which ultimately, would be all the Dragons needed. The Dragons won a close one 19-17.
- In Baltimore, the Ponies were back from their bye as they had a huge test in front of them: The Renegades. In a game that was ripped with playoffs implications, No one would have expected the game that happened. The renegades, strong from a huge defensive performance a few weeks back against the Austin Blues, have now seen themselves getting the same treatment from an energized Ponies’s squad. Today's great performance came from Baltimore QB’s Christian Wright, taking full advantage of the chance he got, as he had a day with 253 yards passing, 3 TDs and a running TD on 10 yards rushing. His opponent wished she had a better day, as Caryne Becker had perhaps her first stinker of the season, suffering 2 INTs as the Renegades offense could only generate a measly Field goal. Are the Baltimore Ponies for real? What will Wright’s performance do in the QB situation in Baltimore? The Ponies Triumphs 34-3.
And now Lun's game of the week!:
Game of the week may surprise you since both teams involved are fighting to avoid being the worst team in the league. However no matter how bad a team looks, they're still one of the best and most talented teams in the world and this game made sure that no one ever forgot. Those who chose to watch this year's first Tank Bowl were given a treat. Welcome to Richmond, home of the Flames!
1st Quarter-
The game started off hot as Richmond's 1st position ended with an interception that'd lead to a Jermaine Traylor 20 yard run into the endzone to the collective sigh of Richmond's few thousand supporters.
MIA 7- RIC 0 1st|10:08
Richmond got slapped and was NOT turning the other cheek but instead...slapping back. Yoink! Another pick, this time on Fernandez giving Richmond the ball at Miami's 15. And just like Miami 4 minutes prior they cashed in with a 5 yard reception by their stand out rookie wide out Chris Davis. Tie game
MIA 7- RIC 7 1st|6:10
There was a theme to this game..turnovers=points. Richmond caught on quick as Evans punched the ball out of Fernandez's paws while Lacoste fell on it. Richmond ball at Miami's 36. With such a head start the offense couldn't help but score and after an attempt to sabotage this drive with 2 straight penalties, Miami scratched their transgressions off the record with their own 15 yd facemask on what would be a 3rd down stop from a short Royce Jackson run. With new life and 9 yards from the endzone, Richmon let the backs work again as Karros got 3 while the remaining 6 was picked up by 1st overall pick Royce Jackson.
MIA 7- RIC 14 1st|2:43
Miami's coach was furious about the mistakes and their disappointment inspired change as Miami upped the tempo as if it were 2 minutes left in the 4th as they ran all the way down the field before scoring with a 9 yard pass to Uttle from Fernandez to tie the game at 14.
MIA 14- RIC 14 1st| 1:28
End of 1st
MIA 14- RIC 21 2nd| 15:00
....abrupt huh? Imagine how the crowd felt. Shortly after the last touchdown, Richmond countered with their own uppercut up the gut of the field utilizing all remaining time to get closer and closer. Once the field swapped at the 2nd Quarter whistle they were sitting at the 1 yard line. The crowd was booming as Franklin fakes a handoff to Royce and lobs to a wide open Pony for 6.
Miami responded by giving Richmond the ball back via Fernandez tossing an ill thought out pass that ended up in the paws of Coles and after a 13 yard return he gave the offense immaculate field position...However Richmond unfortunately was given a 50% discount for their troubles only cashing in 3pts off the leg of Hamilton.
MIA 14- RIC 24 2nd| 10:19
Miami responded with a 5 and out almost fumbling the ball back to Richmond on the first play of the drive..
Richmond however was getting hot and 13 yards to go, Royce Jackson hot stepped into the endzone for his 2nd touchdown of the game..this was getting ugly.
MIA 14- RIC 31 2nd|5:20
MIA 21- RIC 31 2nd|5:12
No way...
Viridi-Aqua caught the ball inside the endzone..but seeing how much the offense struggled he took it upon himself to make his mark on this game. He runs out, his pads kicking up turf rocks as he weaves through defenders and shakes off Hamilton who gave a valiant effort...30...20...10...Richmond is silent. Touchdown Miami off the kick off...103yds..wow.
Richmond was stunned and when the exhausted offense got back on the field..Franklin gave the ball right back to Richmond for his 2nd pick of the game.
Miami had a new life and yk the rules...Turnover=Scoring.
Miami wasn't gonna let Virida-Aqua's work go to waste. Fernandez went on a tear completing 4 straight passes to get his team inside the 5 and just 2 plays later he was yelling at the top of his lungs after having a 4 yard dart to Cobalt. Touchdown Miami! Their backs like they never left!
MIA 28- RIC 31 2nd| 0:54
Half Time. *dances*
Kay...let's go.
Unfortunately the two teams made "adjustments" and made an agreement to play safer limiting turnovers so in turn this quarter was just a bunch of punts,.missed field goals..and penalties..oh and one made field goal from 50 yards by Hamilton.
MIA 28- RIC 34 End of 3rd
The 4th Quarter started and it was clear that this was a tale of two halves. This was a completely different game. Hamilton dropped a 49 yd FG around halfway through the 4th to make it a 2 possession game.
MIA 28- RIC 37 4th| 9:46
With time running out..Miami needed the magic that got them here in the first place but their offense kept stagnating.
31 yard banger from Hamilton.
MIA 28- RIC 40 4th|6:00
Miami still can't get anything going...and as time runs out, the first play of the most important drive with 1:55 to go..Fernandez throws a back breaking interception...the Flames get the ball at Miami's 5. Despite that...due to some odd coaching decisions like kneeling the first play only to pass on the next..Miami forced another field goal. Impressive.
MIA 28- RIC 43 4th|1:10
The game was essentially over as Hamilton literally kicked the Tropics out the game. However Fernandez knew I had him in fantasy and with 17 seconds left he threw an absolute dime to Viridi-Aqua for a 29 yd Score. Unfortunately..time hit 0:00 as soon as he crossed the plane.
Richmond wins their first game of the year!!!

Have a nice day!!
and here the rest:
- Thanksgiving weekend starts in California, as the Bandits make their way to face the Demons. In a game where the Demons were fighting tooth and nail to get back to a respectable record, Even with the great efforts of their returning QB Kiedo Masquarde ( 306 passing yards, 2 TDs, no turnovers), the Bandits seemed to be one step ahead of them. The Bandits made a combined effort to run the ball effectively against the Demons’s defensive line, as Rit-Wicky and Stapler earned some rushing touchdowns. What really broke the game in the third quarter was a splendid 95 yards punt return from Arnold Tarbour, when the game was 24-20 Vegas. The Demons did not give up, getting a late TD with a 2 point conversion, but the Bandits iced the game with a late FG kick. Vegas wins a thriller 34-28.
- In Chicago, a heavyweight division bout was happening as the Outlaws squared off against the Royal. It was a scrappy affair as both teams knew each other well and was nothing going to give themselves an inch. While Tremblay was injured, Montreal did have Ligustica back, but Chicago was ready to face him and walled him the whole game, as most of the attacks was done in the air, and also a great kicking contest between Thalia Perez and Skye Crista. Montreal was up 13-10 at Halftime, but eventually, Chicago just showed gritty guts and managed to get one TD pass from Darius Smith in the third and shout things down in the second half, where the Royal had nothing. Chicago won the slugfest 20-13.
- In Nashville, it was a clash of rookies that was about to be interesting. The Tuts were having momentum with Roman Oliviera as the Quarterback and was 2-0 when he was scoring a TD. They needed all the help they needed, as they welcomed the Defiant, with star rookie Emi Tachibana. Both did all they could to bring their A game, but Emi was a little more accurate and effective but while Roman did make mistakes, the New York pass rush was intense and the Tuts had to rely on their running game to keep it close. They were neck and neck in the end, where Nashville led by 1 point with 2:24 left in the game, but New York kicker Emmett Smith capped up a great game, kicking his 5th field goal to get the Defiant over the edge, Defiant wins 22-20.
- Back in Colorado, an important divisional game was going on, as the Dragons were trying to get back into winning ways against the Crushers. Both teams presented a stout defense as in typical fashion the Dragons tried to bring Colorado into a grind game. Been a revelation since the start of the season, rookie Wide Receiver Dahlia Taylor did the brunt of the work with 2 TDs as well of Daniel Van Baarle as the run was ineffective. Aspen Redfield was having a great game, while Dragons QB Corgie Brooks, going in for Burnette, did alright, with one INT. Tied up 17-17 all after 3, it came down to one important sequence in the fourth, As Erica Blanche de la Rosa, was trapped in her endzone, backed up and brought down for a safety, which ultimately, would be all the Dragons needed. The Dragons won a close one 19-17.
- In Baltimore, the Ponies were back from their bye as they had a huge test in front of them: The Renegades. In a game that was ripped with playoffs implications, No one would have expected the game that happened. The renegades, strong from a huge defensive performance a few weeks back against the Austin Blues, have now seen themselves getting the same treatment from an energized Ponies’s squad. Today's great performance came from Baltimore QB’s Christian Wright, taking full advantage of the chance he got, as he had a day with 253 yards passing, 3 TDs and a running TD on 10 yards rushing. His opponent wished she had a better day, as Caryne Becker had perhaps her first stinker of the season, suffering 2 INTs as the Renegades offense could only generate a measly Field goal. Are the Baltimore Ponies for real? What will Wright’s performance do in the QB situation in Baltimore? The Ponies Triumphs 34-3.
And now Lun's game of the week!:
Game of the week may surprise you since both teams involved are fighting to avoid being the worst team in the league. However no matter how bad a team looks, they're still one of the best and most talented teams in the world and this game made sure that no one ever forgot. Those who chose to watch this year's first Tank Bowl were given a treat. Welcome to Richmond, home of the Flames!
1st Quarter-
The game started off hot as Richmond's 1st position ended with an interception that'd lead to a Jermaine Traylor 20 yard run into the endzone to the collective sigh of Richmond's few thousand supporters.
MIA 7- RIC 0 1st|10:08
Richmond got slapped and was NOT turning the other cheek but instead...slapping back. Yoink! Another pick, this time on Fernandez giving Richmond the ball at Miami's 15.

UFFL week 6 results and Week 7 preview
General | Posted a year agoHello all! Its marty with your week 6 results!:
- We start the week as the Corsairs are hosting the Chicago Outlaws.While this season the Outlaws have been having a tough time bouncing back from the Furbowl win, The Corsairs seem to be continuing trying to find themselves, their identity. Not for lack of trying thought, Juuta Siutinnuaq had a big day of work on defense for the Corsairs, having 10 tackles and 1 sack, but once again on offense, they seem to not be able to take the next step up, averaging average numbers on the Pass and on the rush. Darius Smith had a good day for the Outlaws, scoring 3 TDs as mostly the passing offense did all the work. Not everything was great for Chicago though, as their star running back Jean-Étienne Tremblay got brought down in the third quarter and had to be escorted out with the help of his trainers….The pickup might have hurt his knee and UFFL.com predicts he may be out for weeks. Chicago wins 30-13.
- In Easton, the Bald Eagles tried to get back to their winning ways after a week 5 upset, and went to face the Las Vegas Bandits. Both teams fought in the trenches against one another, as most of the offense was run by the run and with kicking field goals. While Sylvester Stapler had a tough time in the air with 2 INTs (Both coming from Bonnie Babcock), he did what he could on the ground, managing the biggest run from a LVB QB since 2015 with a 45 yard TD run in the third Quarter, as this put the game at 16-16. Thanks in part to the effort from Delph Adler, who catched for 125 yards this game, the Bald Eagles managed to come close enough to get one final FG in the fourth by Virginia Pratt to get the points they needed. Easton triumphs 19-16.
- Back in the big Apple, Emi Tachibana and the Defiant wanted to get back with a W against the California Demons. Having fallen to the Bald Eagles, the Demons had the confidence coming in today, but it was soon tested as Kiedo Masquarde was hurt early in this one, as Elise Beaumont would be back at the helm for the first time this season. She tried her best, but Beaumont would struggle, as she suffered 2 INTs. Emi Tachibana was back in form, wanting to put last week's loss behind her, as she continued on her great campaign, earning 299 yards and throwing 3 TDs. New York’s stout defense did the rest, and New York would end up getting ahead towards the end of the game due to Tachibana’s brilliant work. New York wins 27-17.
- We turn our attention in Miami, as the Colorado Crushers pay a visit to the Miami Tropics, who are trying to get back into winning ways after 3 consecutive losses. Unfortunately, This game can be resumed to one thing: Erica Blanche de la Rosa ran the ball down the Tropics’s throat. The young rookie Orca had another big day as she ran for 133 yards. While having no touchdown, it was all the Crushers needed to score when needed too, as the Tropics offense had problems getting themselves going. Colorado wins 24-10.
- In North Florida, the Renegades would square off against the Austin Blues. While some were eager to see a slobberknocker of a game, they were greeted with a….weird one. The Austin Blues offense in the first half: non-existent. Why, seems today was the day where Kai Koa decided to totally implode, as he had an abysmal time today, being burned for 4 INTs and sacked 7 times. Austin never got going, even if Carrice Kenton ran for 113 yards, nothing was working. What is even weirder is that the Renegades had only 179 yards of TOTAL offense. Only 3/12 on third down conversions.Guess as they say, “We are going to take it and run with it.” North Florida wins 34-10.
- Back in Richmond, The Flames were facing the Nashville Tuts. While a lot has been said about the Flames slowly progressing while they kept losing, sadly, not on this day. Like at all. It was all Tuts. Andy Kaylers once again had an atrocious game, suffering another 4 INTs in this game. Royce Jackson scored a TD late in the game, but that’s about it for the Flames. The young Nashville team feasted on offense and Defense, Thanks to Roman Oliviera and Horacio Cabrera. Nashville wins 41-10.
And here your Luns's game of the week!:
It's a chilly day in Michigan, perfect climate to crown the Kings and Queens of Michigan.
The game started in favor of the home team as Morton Ritter fired two touchdowns to give the Dragons an early 14pt lead. However Lillian made sure not to let things get too out of hand by replying with a 6 yard dart to Earl Morales for his 2nd touchdown of the year.
End of 1st 14-7 GRD
To start the 2nd Quarter a little more hometown cooking allowed the fans to rejoice once more as Ritter connected for his 3rd Passing Touchdown of the day to push the lead back to 14.
The rest of the 2nd Quarter was a drag but it seemed like Lillian finally figured Grand Rapids out as after a VERY long drive from DWN to set up a 19yd FG and a swift three and out, Lillian led her team on an 85yd Drive in 2:09, ending it off with a 12yd dime to Hanna to cut the lead to 4.
Half 17-21 GRD
Grand Rapids and DWN traded 3 and Outs to start the third before GRD finally got their first first down in over 20 in game minutes and got a FG to push the lead to 7
DWN swiftly replied though as Lillian escaped the pocket and was off to the race. The Snep was flying free showcasing that speed we saw at the combine where she broke the record for a 40 time as she nearly broke it again on a 31yd Dash to the endzone to quiet the crowd and tie the game at 24.
End of 3rd. 24-24.
The 4th started off with a pick by Simms that gifted DWN decent field postion however the Waves couldn't cash in on it.
It didn't take till 5 Minutes before the final whistle for any movement on the scoreboard as Rick Nicksen punched in a 1yd score on a 4 play drive that was set up by a 75yd bomb to Wolff from Lillian Newman.
With 2:17 remaining Lillian ran for 7yds before coughing up the ball and giving it to GRD at their own 35. However GRD gave them the ball right back after. A bad read from Ritter gifting the ball right to the paws of Stanton.
DWN again couldn't get anything going to cash in so the defense took it upon themselves to cash in as on the following GRD drive, McCarthy baited a pass and hopped on the ball and was home free the moment he caught it for a PICK SIX! Upping the lead to 14pts with 45 seconds left...pretty much ending the game. Final score: DWN 38 - GRD 24
Players on the week:
Offense: Lillian Newman - QB (DWN) : 25/31 316 yards, 2 TDs, 67 rush yards, 1 Rush TD
Defense: William Tancretti - DE (GRD) : 17 tackles, 1 sack, 2 FFs
Special Teams: Virginia Pratt - K (EAS) : 4/4 FGs

UFFL 2023 week 5 results and Week 6 preview!
General | Posted a year agoMarty here! Sorry for the wait! but here the results of week 5!
Easton at California
Hey kids! Repeat after me! T! R! A! P! What does that spell? TRAP! Easton rolled into this week with the best record in the UFFL, with a matchup against the winless Demons. So of course, the most logical thing in the world happens: California completely dominates on the ground, running the ball 47 times with two different backs topping 100 yards rushing. The Bald Eagles completely imploded with nine penalties on defense, part of an absolutely atrocious 17 team penalties, and only managed to score a touchdown off of an interception in California’s red zone. Easton still has the best record in the United conference, but they need to get things together quick, as the hard part of their schedule is coming up soon.
Final score: CAL 30, EAS 10
Nashville at Chicago
The tale (tail?) of this game was defense. Neither quarterback had all that much time to throw throughout the game, with a combined eight sacks and 10 hurries. It was a very low scoring affair in the first half, with the only touchdown for either team coming when Darius Smith threw a pick-six to cornerback Isaac Hunt (his ninth career defensive touchdown, the most among active players) . However, the relentless press of Le Pickup finally wore down the Tuts defenders, as Jean-Etienne Tremblay would score rushing touchdowns on consecutive possessions to give Chicago the lead in the third quarter. It was still a one-score game, however, and Nashville had a chance to tie the game late. A sack would leave them at 4th and 16, and Roman Oliviera’s final pass was broken up to seal the game for the Outlaws.
Final score: CHI 20, NSH 13
New York at Las Vegas
This one started looking a lot like the Nashville/Chicago game. A low-scoring, defensive struggle, punctuated by plenty of refball. The yellow flags were flying fast and furious in this game, with four penalties in the first three minutes and 14 accepted penalties overall. At first it looked like the game was going to be all New York. The Defiant scored 10 unanswered points to open the game, and running back Alex Smith was gouging the Bandits D for 6 yards a carry. Justice Matari’s second touchdown catch of the day would put New York up 17-3 halfway through the third quarter. However, that’s about when Sylvester Stapler put the team on his back. Las Vegas was in hurry-up mode the entire fourth quarter, with Stapler attempting 24 passes in that quarter alone. The Bandits started to slowly chip away at New York’s lead. After scoring to make it a two-point game, Vegas would force a three-and-out to get the ball back with 2:21 left to play. Stapler then organized a 16-play drive that included three successful fourth down conversions, allowing rookie kicker Claire Sasakibara to chip in her first career game-winning field goal.
Final score: LVB 18, NYD 17
New Orleans at Montreal
Last week, the Royal were missing all three of their best offensive players. While Ligustica remains on the sidelines, both Keonte Hughes and Tyron Appleby are back on the field today, and they’re pissed off about the Easton game. The playcalling was conservative for Appleby’s first game back, only dialing up 17 total passing plays. However, that was enough for him to net three passing touchdowns, including a long bomb to Hughes that the speedy wideout took 95 yards to the house, a team record (and personal bests for both players). Flip Penguinator and Leone Lopez kept the Corsairs in the game, and they were a failed two-point conversion away from tying the game in the fourth quarter. But Appleby was not to be denied, and he beat an all-out blitz on 3rd and 5 to connect with rookie Robert Loera, who went 70 yards untouched to put the game away.
Final score: MTL 38, NOC 26
Austin at Grand Rapids
On paper, this game was one of the most anticipated games of the week, a matchup of 3-1 teams with first place in the Continental West at stake. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit of a dud, especially at the beginning. There was only one touchdown in the first half, and Austin was dominating time of possession with their run game. The Dragons received the second-half kickoff, but fumbled the ball on their second play, and were down by three scores by the end of the quarter. Things started to look up for Grand Rapids in the fourth quarter, when they finally scored their first TD of the game and then immediately recovered a fumble themselves to set up a second touchdown in less than four minutes. The comeback was on…and then it was off again, as Bobby Burnette would leave the game after being injured on a sack. With Morton Ritter under center, they weren’t able to get another first down until there was only 30 seconds remaining in the game, and the final Hail Mary attempt would fall incomplete.
Final score: ATX 26, GRD 20
Richmond at Baltimore
Are the Ponies…good? Through four weeks they’ve already tied last season’s total in wins, and they come into today’s game with a good chance to start the season 3-2. Of course, there’s the slight problem of losing their starting QB. Jillian St. Claire is going to miss several weeks with a high ankle sprain, and backup Christian Wright hasn’t started a game since 2018. Fortunately, they’re up against the Flames today. Now, Richmond has actually been a lot better than their record indicates, and their run game has kept them in pretty much every game so far. But they have little room for error, and were undone today by a fatal case of butterfingers. Richmond coughed up the ball three times, and even though only one of them was a turnover they were all drive-stoppers. Wright also proved himself up to the task, going 22 for 26 with a career-high four touchdown passes (more than he’s had in any full season before).
Final score: BAL 38, RIC 20
Colorado at Downriver
Lillian Newman can’t be stopped! A week after torching the Flames with three touchdowns, she followed it up with 290 passing yards and another 3 touchdowns against the Crushers, with no picks or sacks. She would even add 57 yards on the ground to boot, with her first career rushing score. That rush would give the Waves the lead late in the third quarter, a lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Colorado would get within three, thanks to Aspen Redfield’s three touchdowns of his own, but too many penalties would hamper their ability to come back. A beautiful spiral pass to Renato Hanna from midfield would ice the game for Downriver.
Final score: DWN 31, COL 21
Miami at North Florida
It’s the battle of the Sunshine State, as the Tropics travel up to the Panhandle to do battle with the Renegades. Unfortunately, Miami brought a knife to this gunfight. Caryn Becker might have only completed nine passes all game, but a full third of them went for touchdowns. Miami, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to get anything going for long, going a putrid 2 for 15 on third down and throwing two interceptions. They were down by three scores going into the half, and it was 28-3 by the end of the third quarter. Despite pulling most of their starters for the final frame, North Florida continued to run the score up. Veteran running back Tyler Wirl only got two carries all game, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that just looking at the stat line. He made both touches count, taking both in for long touchdowns and an amazing 92 yard rushing day.
Final score: NFR 42, MIA 13
Players of the Week:
Offense: Lillian Newman (QB – DWN): 29/33 for 290 passing yards and 3 TDs, plus eight carries for 57 yards and a rushing TD
Defense: Kennith Shrader (DE – ATX): 5 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery
Special Teams: Claire Sasakibara (K – LVB): three field goals (43, 39, 19) and an extra point
And here the preview of week 6!

UFFL 2023 week 4 results and Week 5 previews!
General | Posted a year agoMarty is here, With all the results from week 4 of the UFFL season:
Up first, Luns's game of the week :3 !
Another classic game in what has been a miraculous season thus far as Grand Rapids traveled to Florida to take on heavily favored North Florida Renegades who are missing their starting QB, giving Lockhart a chance to start against his old team.
The game started off peachy for North Florida as in his first drive Lockhart connected with Oahu for a 47yard touchdown pass on just the 5th play of the drive. Burnette and his team responded the next drive with a 4 yard shuffle pass to Smithson, just for Lockhart to take advantage of a blown coverage for 51 yard bomb to Reuyters.
North Florida's offense was rolling and most importantly...efficient. However Grand Rapids was able to snuff out the defensive issues in the 2nd Quarter only allowing one lowly field goal at the beginning of the quarter making the game already stand at 17-7. The score reflected this sentiment for 8 in game minutes before Grand Rapids response finally went through on a 15 yard pass to van Baarle.
However NFR used the remaining time to improve their lead with 42yd FG
14-20 NFR at Half.
The third quarter was a bit boring and very defensive but something rare did happen as both teams choked out the opposing offenses...A Safety! Lockhart snapped the ball at the 10 and tried to dodge and weave in the backfield but he ran out of gas and couldn't find time to throw the ball away with all the pressure and William Tamcreti was able to bring him down in their own endzone to cut the lead from 6 to 4.
16-20 NFR end of 3rd
In the opening embers of the 4th, NFR tacked on a FG to bring the lead to 7.
After the kick, GRD went at a turtles pace to respond with a kick of their own to cut the lead back to 4, just to remind Florida that yes...they did achieve a Safety.
19-23.
With just 8 minutes left, GRD needed a swift stop and since they asked, they recieved. A swift 3 n Out that gave GRD 5 minutes and 3 timeouts to work with to score.
The drive was met with instant push back as they found themselves staring at a 3n Out. But a break in the defense allowed a 10yd pass to Kratt carry on the Dragon's hopes at an upset. Time was ticking and a measly field goal wasn't going to cut it..they needed 6. Dahlia Taylor was the main one getting schemed against as she had 2 back to back game winning touchdowns, and the Queen was definitely looking to make her 3rd. NFR's impressive defense had kept her at bay for the entire game never letting her have a real chance at the ball today.
2:50 3rd and 5 at the NFR 39, she broke through on a crossing route 2 yards from the lime of scrimmage, surrounded by defenders the queen had to fight and crawl for the first down gaining just 6 yards. However all she needed was 5.
From there Van Baarle got losse on an incredible post route selling the fake streak with elegance as he caught a 16 yard pass in the middle if the field. And with 1:47 left at the 17, Christopher was left wide open for a touchdown.
26-23 GRD!
NFR had 3 time outs and after a 26yd return from Blumenthal they just needed 35 yards for a comfortable field goal to send this to OT.
Lockhart looked around, everyone was covered and he took too long to throw and was dragged down behind the line by Cornerback Gavin Zoeter. He had rushed down after the play broke. Time out NFR.
The next play, Lockhart connected with Williams for a gain of 11 leaving them 4 yards to go to get that first down.
3rd and 3. Lockhart finds Martiz on a slant but Watts was able to slip his paw onto the ball and punch it out for an incompletion..4th down and 3 with 57 seconds.
Lockhart with the game on the line snaps the ball and looks to heave to a newly open Blumenthal, but the ball never left his paws. He crashed to the ground, with a celebrating Robin Hagefeld ontop of him. The once cheering crowd was deafened....Grand Rapids was 2 knees away from a victory.
GRD upset NFR 26-23
onto the rest of the week:
Chicago at Las Vegas
After two disappointing losses in a row, the Outlaws come into today’s contest desperate for a win. Unfortunately, Las Vegas wasn’t in the mood to roll over and give them one. The Bandits put up 17 unanswered points to begin the game, with Chicago missing two field goals and only managing to score on a two-minute drill right at the end of the half. The third quarter looked like it was going to be more of the same, until Sylvester Stapler had his pass tipped and picked off by Bennie Sierra at their own 27 yard line, setting up a game-tying TD catch by Jean-Etienne Tremblay. Not to be outdone, Las Vegas Corey-Lewis Armstrong would get his own interception on Chicago’s next possession, taking this one to the house for his first career pick-six. Once again trailing in the fourth quarter, Darius Smith put the team on his back, finally taking the lead for the first time with only 45 seconds remaining on a TD pass to backup receiver Maurice Adams, his first target of the season.
Final score: CHI 31, LVB 24
Easton at Montreal
Both Easton and Montreal came into today’s game undefeated. Unfortunately, Montreal was also coming in missing its three best players on offense. The absence of Appleby, Hughes and Ligustica was keenly felt, as the Royal struggled to find any rhythm on offense. That they were in the game at all is mainly due to undisciplined play from the Bald Eagles. Easton was flagged 11 times, seven of them on defense. Rookie running back Kyle Django’s first career touchdown would make it a one-score game halfway through the third quarter, but they weren’t able to reach the red zone again, and a pass on 4th and 6 with a minute to go would come up two yards short of a first down.
Final score: EAS 21, MTL 13
New Orleans at New York
It’s the battle of the News! And the battle of the Matari brothers, Justice versus Honor. Though the younger brother would have more receiving yards, big brother Justice would prove the victor by virtue of catching Emi Tachibana’s sole touchdown pass of the afternoon. Overall, this was actually the Emmett Smith show, as the kicker made four field goals. On the Corsairs side, Leone Lopez was held mostly in check on offense, only managing 72 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches. He faired a bit better in the return game, however, piling up 125 yards on five kickoff returns.
Final score: NYD 26, NOC 10
Miami at Austin
After losing on a last-minute touchdown last week, the Blues came into Week 4 angry. Unfortunately for Miami, they were in the line of fire for a good, old-fashioned beatdown. Kai Koa would only throw for 146 yards, but he didn’t really need any heroics on this one. They were constantly being gifted short fields, with 13 accepted penalties against the Tropics and Raoul Fernandez throwing three interceptions. Carrice Kenton had multiple rushing touchdowns for the fourth game in a row, the longest streak of his career. He’s already tied his rushing TD total from last season at 9, and barring injury should easily break the single-season record of 14, set two years ago by Bruce Staples.
Final score: ATX 38, MIA 7
Downriver at Richmond
Oh, now you’re just showing off. After significant controversy at the quarterback position in the last few weeks, Lillian Newman would appear to have definitively settled the question. She connected with receiver Renato Hanna for three consecutive touchdowns (a team receiving record) on her way to 17/23 night with a 140.6 passer rating. She also had 81 rushing yards, second only to Jillian St. Claire’s 92 last week among quarterbacks this season. On the Richmond side, improvement continues to be seen despite a winless record. Andy Kaylers once again started under center with Darnell Paige in concussion protocol and had his first career start without a turnover. And first overall pick Royce Jackson had 62 yards rushing on only 10 carries, scoring a rushing touchdown for the third consecutive game.
Final score: DWN 34, RIC 14
Baltimore at Nashville
Baltimore came into today’s contest an unexpected 2-1, having upset both Grand Rapids and Downriver. Nashville, on the other hand, had lost three straight, though to teams that currently have a combined 10-2 record. So while it’s not a huge surprise that the Tuts were able to emerge victorious, it *was* surprising by how much. Roman Oliviera just went absolutely HAM on the Ponies defense, carving them up to the tune of 356 yards and four TDs. Dallas Larkin would add in a career-long 75 yard touchdown run for good measure. For the first half of the game, though, it was actually a much closer affair, with Baltimore actually holding a lead until the very end of the second quarter. But Nashville would score 31 unanswered points across the second and third quarters, and after Jillian St. Claire was forced out of the game with an ankle injury all fight seemed to leave the Ponies.
Final score: NSH 44, BAL 17
Players of the Week:
Offense: Roman Oliviera (QB – NSH): 22/34 passing for 356 yards and 4 passing TDs
Defense: William Tancreti (DE – GRD): 5 tackles (3 for loss), two sacks and a safety
Special Teams: Emmett Smith (K – NYD): four field goals (24, 38, 40 and 51 yards) and two PATs
Here the preview for week 5 on sunday November 17:
Easton (4-0) vs California (0-3)
Nashville (1-3) vs Chicago (2-2)
New York (3-1) vs Las Vegas (1-2)
New Orleans (1-3) vs Montreal (3-1)
Austin (3-1) vs Grand Rapids (3-1)
Richmond (0-4) vs Baltimore (2-2)
Colorado (2-1) vs Downriver (2-1)
Miami (1-3) vs North Florida (2-2)

That they were in the game at all is mainly due to undisciplined play from the Bald Eagles. Easton was flagged 11 times, seven of them on defense. Rookie running back Kyle Django’s first career touchdown would make it a one-score game halfway through the third quarter, but they weren’t able to reach the red zone again, and a pass on 4th and 6 with a minute to go would come up two yards short of a first down.
Final score: EAS 21, MTL 13
New Orleans at New York
It’s the battle of the News! And the battle of the Matari brothers, Justice versus Honor. Though the younger brother would have more receiving yards, big brother Justice would prove the victor by virtue of catching Emi Tachibana’s sole touchdown pass of the afternoon. Overall, this was actually the Emmett Smith show, as the kicker made four field goals. On the Corsairs side, Leone Lopez was held mostly in check on offense, only managing 72 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches. He faired a bit better in the return game, however, piling up 125 yards on five kickoff returns.
Final score: NYD 26, NOC 10
Miami at Austin
After losing on a last-minute touchdown last week, the Blues came into Week 4 angry. Unfortunately for Miami, they were in the line of fire for a good, old-fashioned beatdown. Kai Koa would only throw for 146 yards, but he didn’t really need any heroics on this one. They were constantly being gifted short fields, with 13 accepted penalties against the Tropics and Raoul Fernandez throwing three interceptions. Carrice Kenton had multiple rushing touchdowns for the fourth game in a row, the longest streak of his career. He’s already tied his rushing TD total from last season at 9, and barring injury should easily break the single-season record of 14, set two years ago by Bruce Staples.
Final score: ATX 38, MIA 7
Downriver at Richmond
Oh, now you’re just showing off. After significant controversy at the quarterback position in the last few weeks, Lillian Newman would appear to have definitively settled the question. She connected with receiver Renato Hanna for three consecutive touchdowns (a team receiving record) on her way to 17/23 night with a 140.6 passer rating. She also had 81 rushing yards, second only to Jillian St. Claire’s 92 last week among quarterbacks this season. On the Richmond side, improvement continues to be seen despite a winless record. Andy Kaylers once again started under center with Darnell Paige in concussion protocol and had his first career start without a turnover. And first overall pick Royce Jackson had 62 yards rushing on only 10 carries, scoring a rushing touchdown for the third consecutive game.
Final score: DWN 34, RIC 14
Baltimore at Nashville
Baltimore came into today’s contest an unexpected 2-1, having upset both Grand Rapids and Downriver. Nashville, on the other hand, had lost three straight, though to teams that currently have a combined 10-2 record. So while it’s not a huge surprise that the Tuts were able to emerge victorious, it *was* surprising by how much. Roman Oliviera just went absolutely HAM on the Ponies defense, carving them up to the tune of 356 yards and four TDs. Dallas Larkin would add in a career-long 75 yard touchdown run for good measure. For the first half of the game, though, it was actually a much closer affair, with Baltimore actually holding a lead until the very end of the second quarter. But Nashville would score 31 unanswered points across the second and third quarters, and after Jillian St. Claire was forced out of the game with an ankle injury all fight seemed to leave the Ponies.
Final score: NSH 44, BAL 17
Players of the Week:
Offense: Roman Oliviera (QB – NSH): 22/34 passing for 356 yards and 4 passing TDs
Defense: William Tancreti (DE – GRD): 5 tackles (3 for loss), two sacks and a safety
Special Teams: Emmett Smith (K – NYD): four field goals (24, 38, 40 and 51 yards) and two PATs
Here the preview for week 5 on sunday November 17:
Easton (4-0) vs California (0-3)
Nashville (1-3) vs Chicago (2-2)
New York (3-1) vs Las Vegas (1-2)

UFFL 2023 Week 3 results and week 4 preview!
General | Posted a year agoMarty Here! Time for your week 3 results!, writtten by Pythos:
New York at New Orleans
The Corsairs come into today’s game at 0-2, and desperately need a win. Fortunately, they have last year’s number one overall pick Leone Lopez carrying the rock. The Defiant had no answer for the young back, as he pounded their defense for 133 yards on 25 carries. That’s not to say that the Corsairs ran away with it. New York actually led for most of the first three quarters, until New Orleans tied things up at 21. The Defiant took the lead once more with a slant pass to Justice Matari that the agile serval took 84 yards to the house early in the fourth quarter. But Flip Penguinator was up to the task, tying the game again with a pass to tight end Robert Ruiz. The Corsairs D then locked things down, holding New York to a long field goal attempt that was wide left, before Penguinator found Mtendere Idowu in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead score with 40 seconds remaining, their first lead of the day.
Final score: NOC 35, NYD 28
EAS at NSH
This week’s theme seems to be shaping up to be second-half comebacks. Once again, we moved into the third quarter with a previously-unbeaten team trailing and hurting. Draco Lindwurm would dislocate a talon on his throwing hand on the first possession of the game, and Virginia Pratt shanked a chip-shot field goal. Back QB Michelle Housley took four sacks in the first half, including two back-to-back to end the second quarter, and would eventually be benched herself after a hard hit sent her into the tent for a concussion check. However, Roman Oliviera would throw a pick-six in the fourth quarter to give Easton their first lead of the game, and Pratt would redeem herself with an insurance field goal late. Despite having to use four different quarterbacks, the Bald Eagles would escape with their unbeaten record intact.
Final score: EAS 24, NSH 17
Grand Rapids at Austin
Well, this game tried to follow our week’s pattern, but unfortunately the refs got in the way. For the first three quarters, it was a low-scoring, defensive battle. Austin didn’t manage to put its first points on the board until the third quarter, but after a two-point conversion it was only a one-score game despite that. A second two-point conversion after a Nicky Ricky TD catch would knot things up at 16 all in the fourth quarter. However, the Blues would be undone by penalties and special teams play. Undisciplined play would lead to 14 accepted penalties against Austin, costing the team over 100 yards. And kicker Raleigh Cooper had a game he wishes he could forget, missing all three of his field goal attempts. Despite this, the game was still tied with only three minutes to play. But a facemask penalty would give the Dragons first and goal, and rookie Dahlia Taylor would catch her second game-winning touchdown in as many weeks.
Final score: GRD 30, ATX 23
Baltimore at Downriver
Downriver might have had the most controversial week off the field, with Lillian Newman publicly blasting the team’s personnel decisions on social media. She drew the start this week, and performed well given that she hasn’t had many reps even during the preseason. Three touchdown passes, including two from the hurry-up offense at the end of the game, were a good sign for her readiness. The lack of reps did show in some significant mistakes, however, including a dumpoff under pressure that went right into Kiyoshi Kiyama’s hands for a pick-six. Despite some inconsistencies, it was actually the Waves *defense* that let the team down today. Downriver allowed 461 yards of offense, including 131 yards on the ground for rookie rusher Kennedy Rodriguez, his first career 100-yard game. At least their special teams were firing on all cylinders, successfully converting an onside kick that would lead to a second touchdown in less than two minutes. It would be too little too late, however. Don’t look now, but after two losing seasons the Ponies are actually 2-1 and are looking better than they have in years.
Final score: BAL 41, DWN 31
Richmond at Miami
Speaking of improved teams, this game was actually much closer than the box score makes it look. Despite losing their starting quarterback to a concussion last week, Richmond still managed almost 400 yards of total offense this week. First overall pick Royce Jackson had 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and outstanding 8.3 yards per carry average. Unfortunately, backup quarterback Andy Kaylers, making his first career start in his third season, threw two interceptions, keeping Miami in the game throughout. The Tropics didn’t pull away until the fourth quarter, though, putting up 17 unanswered points in the final frame. It was quite a chippy game overall too, with a combined 18 penalties for 173 yards.
Final score: MIA 43, RIC 23
North Florida at Chicago
The phenomenon of the Furbowl hangover appears to be real. After winning it all last season, the Outlaws ran into major cap issues, especially on the defense. It seems to be seriously hurting their ability to get a stop, as they have allowed almost 500 yards of offense in two consecutive games. Granted, their opponents in those games are a combined 5-1, but much better things were expected of a team that hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2014. Notably, they can’t seem to stop the run at all. Ronald McSnow gouged them for 166 yards on the ground, and Tyler Wirl scored two rushing touchdowns in the four quarter. If there’s a bright side to this game, it’s that those two touchdowns were the margin of victory, and the Outlaws actually had the game tied halfway through the fourth quarter.
Final score: NFR 31, CHI 17
Colorado at Las Vegas
Yup, our theme this week is definitely fourth-quarter comebacks, whether successful or not. In Las Vegas’s case, they *nearly* pulled off a big one. Down by 21 points in the third quarter, Sylvester Stapler put the team on his back, throwing for three touchdowns in the last 17 minutes of the game. Unfortunately, a 51 yard Matt Souber field goal spoiled the comeback, as the Bandits couldn’t convert an onside kick attempt and they fell by three.
Final score: COL 27, LVB 24
Players of the Week:
Offense: Roland McSnow (RB – NFR): 166 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown
Defense: Richard Dixon (LB – MIA): 5 tackles, a sack, an interception and a safety
Special Teams: Renato Hanna (WR – DWN): six kickoff returns for 206 yards (a team record), including a 96 yard TD return
Onto to the week 4 previews! California and Colorado are on Byes...

UFFL 2023 Week 2 results and Week 3 preview
General | Posted a year agoHello there! it Marty with a late(sowwie) but results of the the UFFL season week 2!
- We start in California, as The New York Defiant came to visit the Demons. Rookie QB Emi Tachibana would continue her progression as she really shone this week, with 266 yards passing and with 2 TDs. New York would be dominating for most of the game right from the start, as they even got a pick-six in the first quarter thanks to Anderson Suppo. Leading 24-7 at one point, as New York would see the Demons coming right back into the game, with a couple of touchdowns from running back Bruce Staples. Tied 24-24, The Defiant would break the deadlock, thanks to a TD from Atemu Foxalitac in the fourth quarter. New York wins 30-24.
- In New Orleans, the Corsairs would meet with the Las Vegas Bandits, beginning the season (Finally lol). The Corsairs had a tough outing last week, but they seemed to be ready to face Vegas,as their passing attack was way better, led by Alesky Wienieski with 5 receptions with 109 yards total receiving. The Bandits also unleashed their passing attack, led by the ever faithful veteran Stapler, as both teams could not get the run game going. In a game that was literally a chess match between both QBs, the veteran stapler had the advantage, as he did just enough to lead the charge as the Bandits would get further points with the foot of Claire Sasakibara, including a 50 yard field goal at the end of the third. The Corsairs would strike back in the fourth to make it close, but it would not be enough. Las Vegas wins 20-17.
- In Easton, the Bald Eagles would be the next opponents of the defending Fur bowl champs, the Chicago Outlaws….safe to say, did the Outlaws partied a little too much after getting their rings? The champs were barely recognizable as the Eagles ran rough shots all over them. Draco Lindwurm had a career day today: 26/32, 332 yards, SIX Touchdowns! Perez and Tremblay did all they could for Chicago (as they were the only ones seemingly showing up) but Easton wanted to keep the onslaught going. Darius Smith was picked apart with 3 INTs and Easton kept getting more impressive as the game went. Susan Forester: 131 yards rushing. Delph Adler: 172 yards receiving. Easton dominates Chicago 62-20.
- In Nashville, Montreal would visit the Tuts in a divisional matchup. Hot on the heels of an instant classic against the Renegades last week, the Tuts were a challenging foe, As they were neck and neck with the Royal all the way towards the end of the game. Bubba Deezen, running back for the Tuts, had a nice day with 92 yards rushing. But in cases like this, when it’s close, you always count of your big performers to get the win and it’s what Montreal did, as QB Tyron Appleby had a 3 TDs day with a QB rating of 139.7% and Vito Ligustica and young rookie Yash Zuro ran for 97 and 76 yards respectively. Nashville nearly got close to Montreal towards the end at 24-21, but kicker Skype Crista once again shut the door for the Royal with a late fourth quarter FG. Montreal wins 27-21.
- We are going to Grand Rapids, as the Dragons square off against the Crushers. Once again, the Dragons heavy defense seemed to turn the game into a total grind fest, as most of the attack came from the feet of both kickers from both teams. Earl Holley managed to kick 5 field goals, as towards the end rookie sensation Dahlia Taylor managed to get the Dragons over the edge with 1 minute left in the game, and Colorada could not close the gap this time. Dragons won a nailbiter 21-20.
- In Richmond, the flames would meet with the Austin Blues on this back to back matchup. To say the least, you had pretty much of everything in this game: injuries, great performances and comebacks. First thing first, the Flames seemed to be a completely different team as they started with fire in their eyes. But things didn’t start that way though, as early in the first quarter, Richmond QB Darnell Paige would be sacked hard on a play and would not return. The Flames' offense would be in the hands of Andy Kaylers. Richmond would then see the coming out party of their first draft pick, Royce Jackson, would score his first touchdown of his career, and had quite a day: 153 rushing yards with 1 TD as his longest run of 62 yards! Chris Davis also came out with 1 TD on a 68 yards pass from Kaylers. They even got a pick six from Robert Coles. At one point the Flames were leading 30-14. Everything seems to be going right for the flames….8 turnovers. Kaylers was picked FIVE times. Paige once before the injury. Austin couldn’t ask for much less. Kenton and Curran did their job and Austin had 2 two point conversions achieved. And Raleigh Cooper kicked the rest. Richmond might need to shop for a QB as the latest report showed Paige might be out long term with a concussion. Austin wins 36-30.
- In North Florida, a pissed off Renegades were waiting to avenge their loss to Montreal as they faced Baltimore. Jillian St-Claire had a rough outing as while her offensive line held strong with no sacks allowed, she had quite a hard time being efficient against a daunting pass rush as she was 22/44 with a QB rating of 72.5%. Becker wasn’t as great either, but her receiving core made the big gains they needed to do all games to keep them ahead. Jesse Oahu was sharp with 104 yards receiving with 2 TDs. Although Baltimore nearly did the same again to North Florida as they managed to lead with around a minute left 24-23 with a Tardif TD. But the Salamander would not let the Renegades fans go home unhappy as she would get a 30 yard TD quickly after with a two point conversion. Renegades wins 31-24.
And now, for Lun's game of the week:
- Downriver football is back! After another odd Week 1 Bye it was time for some Continental East Football on the road against a struggling Miami Tropics. For some odd reason, Robert Goady was given the start and not their Rising Star QB who led them to the conference finals last year. Lillian wasn't listed on the injury sheet and the young snow leopard is on the bench with a frustrated, yet bewildered look on her face.
Highlights:
2nd 7:19 DWN 6 MIA 3
Miami's Wil Hudson has looks right and spots a streaking Dyana Cobalt who didn't even break stride hoisting in the pass after a bit of a bobble and waltzing into the endzone for a 20yd Tud! 10-6 MIA!!
2nd 3:41 DWN 6 MIA 10. Two Tight End set for DWN as Efren Frank is given the rock seeing a split in the A gap he shoots right through and his speed is just too much for the 2nd line of defense to handle as he rumbles to the endzone for a 24 yd touchdown! 13-10 DWN!
3rd 10:38 DWN 13 MIA 13
Robert Goady suprises everyone by trotting back in the game as he snaps the ball and waits for someone to get open, before getting too trigger happy and firing into double coverage where Courtney Ouen would wrestle the ball from Renato Hanna resulting in a PICK! A huge interception on DWNs side of the field!
3rd 3:21 DWN 13 MIA 16
With 4 yards to go the call was simple, trust your running back and Rick Nicksen made sure to do his job. Barreling into the Endzone for 6! 20-16 DWN!
4th 15:00 DWN 20 MIA 16
Taj Thompson lines up with a chance for his first UFFL touchdown. The handoff is good and the rookie storms into the endzone with a 1 yard scramble! Touchdown!!!
27-16 DWN
4th 7:10 DWN 27 MIA 19
Robert Goady and the Waves are at the 13. He drops back, Brett Marcus stops on a curl route and nabs the ball and somehow the defender completely whiffs! Nothing but green from here! Touchdown! 34-19 DWN.
Post Game: Lillian Newman was on the sidelines all game helping Robert Goady and coaching him through the reads and you could see the improvements he made. However it was clear that this took a toll on the snow leopard as we received word that she requested a trade from Downriver! She was meant to be their QB of the future, as with her short tenure she already held a bunch of their team records. However, the snow leopard seemed to have had it as she played it sweet with the media but obviously showed how bitter she was to the front office as she didn't even wait to get onto the team bus to send her request form. What will this mean for both parties? Will she hold out? Can this be fixed?
Players of the week:
Offensive: Draco Lindwurm QB (EAS) - 26/32 , 336 yards , 6 TDs, 142.8 QB rating.
Defensive: Hat Chargogga LB (ATX) - 6 tcks. 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR.
Special teams: Earl Holey K (GRD) - 5/6 Field goals.

Earl Holley managed to kick 5 field goals, as towards the end rookie sensation Dahlia Taylor managed to get the Dragons over the edge with 1 minute left in the game, and Colorada could not close the gap this time. Dragons won a nailbiter 21-20.
- In Richmond, the flames would meet with the Austin Blues on this back to back matchup. To say the least, you had pretty much of everything in this game: injuries, great performances and comebacks. First thing first, the Flames seemed to be a completely different team as they started with fire in their eyes. But things didn’t start that way though, as early in the first quarter, Richmond QB Darnell Paige would be sacked hard on a play and would not return. The Flames' offense would be in the hands of Andy Kaylers. Richmond would then see the coming out party of their first draft pick, Royce Jackson, would score his first touchdown of his career, and had quite a day: 153 rushing yards with 1 TD as his longest run of 62 yards! Chris Davis also came out with 1 TD on a 68 yards pass from Kaylers. They even got a pick six from Robert Coles. At one point the Flames were leading 30-14. Everything seems to be going right for the flames….8 turnovers. Kaylers was picked FIVE times. Paige once before the injury. Austin couldn’t ask for much less. Kenton and Curran did their job and Austin had 2 two point conversions achieved. And Raleigh Cooper kicked the rest. Richmond might need to shop for a QB as the latest report showed Paige might be out long term with a concussion. Austin wins 36-30.
- In North Florida, a pissed off Renegades were waiting to avenge their loss to Montreal as they faced Baltimore. Jillian St-Claire had a rough outing as while her offensive line held strong with no sacks allowed, she had quite a hard time being efficient against a daunting pass rush as she was 22/44 with a QB rating of 72.5%. Becker wasn’t as great either, but her receiving core made the big gains they needed to do all games to keep them ahead. Jesse Oahu was sharp with 104 yards receiving with 2 TDs. Although Baltimore nearly did the same again to North Florida as they managed to lead with around a minute left 24-23 with a Tardif TD. But the Salamander would not let the Renegades fans go home unhappy as she would get a 30 yard TD quickly after with a two point conversion. Renegades wins 31-24.
And now, for Lun's game of the week:
- Downriver football is back! After another odd Week 1 Bye it was time for some Continental East Football on the road against a struggling Miami Tropics. For some odd reason, Robert Goady was given the start and not their Rising Star QB who led them to the conference finals last year. Lillian wasn't listed on the injury sheet and the young snow leopard is on the bench with a frustrated, yet bewildered look on her face.
Highlights:
2nd 7:19 DWN 6 MIA 3
Miami's Wil Hudson has looks right and spots a streaking Dyana Cobalt who didn't even break stride hoisting in the pass after a bit of a bobble and waltzing into the endzone for a 20yd Tud! 10-6 MIA!!
2nd 3:41 DWN 6 MIA 10. Two Tight End set for DWN as Efren Frank is given the rock seeing a split in the A gap he shoots right through and his speed is just too much for the 2nd line of defense to handle as he rumbles to the endzone for a 24 yd touchdown! 13-10 DWN!
3rd 10:38 DWN 13 MIA 13
Robert Goady suprises everyone by trotting back in the game as he snaps the ball and waits for someone to get open, before getting too trigger happy and firing into double coverage where Courtney Ouen would wrestle the ball from Renato Hanna resulting in a PICK! A huge interception on DWNs side of the field!
3rd 3:21 DWN 13 MIA 16
With 4 yards to go the call was simple, trust your running back and Rick Nicksen made sure to do his job. Barreling into the Endzone for 6! 20-16 DWN!
4th 15:00 DWN 20 MIA 16
Taj Thompson lines up with a chance for his first UFFL touchdown. The handoff is good and the rookie storms into the endzone with a 1 yard scramble! Touchdown!!!
27-16 DWN
4th 7:10 DWN 27 MIA 19
Robert Goady and the Waves are at the 13. He drops back, Brett Marcus stops on a curl route and nabs the ball and somehow the defender completely whiffs! Nothing but green from here! Touchdown! 34-19 DWN.
Post Game: Lillian Newman was on the sidelines all game helping Robert Goady and coaching him through the reads and you could see the improvements he made. However it was clear that this took a toll on the snow leopard as we received word that she requested a trade from Downriver! She was meant to be their QB of the future, as with her short tenure she already held a bunch of their team records. However, the snow leopard seemed to have had it as she played it sweet with the media but obviously showed how bitter she was to the front office as she didn't even wait to get onto the team bus to send her request form. What will this mean for both parties? Will she hold out? Can this be fixed?
Players of the week:
Offensive: Draco Lindwurm QB (EAS) - 26/32 , 336 yards , 6 TDs, 142.8 QB rating.
Defensive: Hat Chargogga LB (ATX) - 6 tcks. 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR.

Week 1 Results and Week 2 Preview!
General | Posted a year agoWe are on our way to the road of Austin, as the UFFL season started with great games!
Marty here, here is the results of week 1:
- In Chicago, it was celebration time as the defending champs Chicago Outlaws raised the banner as they began their title defense against the California Demons. And the demons were really competitive today, wanting to put last disappointing season behind, Wide Receivers Mylene Jean and Kerry Fowler had a good day, receiving for 129 and 110 yards. But at the end of the day, the Outlaws came to play and were dead set in defending the crown, as Quarterback Darrius Smith was particularly effective today with a 143.8 % QB rating and 2 TDs. Tremblay ran for a record 31 times and J.J white had 1 sack. Demons were surging for a late comeback but it wasn’t enough as Chicago would triumph 27-20.
- Moving on back to Easton, The Bald Eagles were healthy and back into full form as they received the New Orleans Corsairs. The Eagles passing attack was on point today, as QB Draco Lindwurm was stellar this week, with a 3 TDs performance on a sharp 134.2% QB rating. Adler, Murphy and Forester all received a TD for Easton. On the New Orleans side, Leone Lopez ran for 76 yards but could not get a TD and the passing attack could not establish themselves as they ended up conceding defeat to the Bald Eagles 27-10.
- Back in Austin, the Austin Blues would begin the season in force, trying to get revenge and return to the Fur bowl, which was announced going to be at their house for Fur bowl 9. Their opponents, the Richmond Flames, were looking to have a better season than last year, while the preseason was encouraging, this first outing was not. Running back Carrice Kenton set a rushing team record of 3 TDs, as Raleigh Cooper did a lot of damage in the second quarter with 3 Field goals. The Richmond Flames’s offense never had a chance to get themselves started as they had to rely on the pass for most of the game. First round draft pick Royce Jackson only had 7 attempts for 19 yards, the QB, Darnell Paige, struggled with 3 INTs. Richmond is going to have to return to the drawing board as they receive the Blues home back in week 2. Blues wins 37-10.
- In Colorado, the Crushers began their season with authority, squaring up against the Miami Tropics. What really caught everyone's attention was the performance of rookie running back Erica Blanche de la Rosa, who dominated the rush with 115 yards and a total of 3 rushing TDs. Meanwhile, even so in a losing effort, Rookie QB Wil Hudson showed some promise with 211 yards and no turnovers. Countney Oeun had a pick six in the second quarter as Miami led at the half, but the second half was all Crushers. Colorado wins 48-17.
- In Grand Rapids, we had a rail nailbiter between the Baltimore Ponies and Grand Rapids Dragons. Both teams remained really close the whole game, as most of the ponies offense came from the foot of Kicker Tyler Kim, While Grand Rapids’s defense was doing its work, led by linebacker Robert Nyman, with 10 Tackles, 1 sack and 1 Forced Fumble. Eventually, it all came down to the fourth quarter as Jillian St-Claire managed to have a go ahead TD to Antoine Tardif, and Grand Rapids could not manage to answer back. Baltimore wins 15-10.
- Going over to North Florida. We had a game that many were not only eager to see kickoff the season, but some already were calling it as a potential furbowl preview between the Montreal Royal and the North Florida Renegades. And both teams made sure that everyone had their money’s worth. It was a clash of the titans as after a Montreal TD, Wide Receiver Jesse Oahu would answer with a team record 3 straight TDs receptions. Montreal would answer right back in the middle of the game, as Kicker Skye Crista was effective with 4 very long FGs throughout the day. The game went back and forth all the way through as North Florida led 31-21 in the fourth, back Montreal would answer later by the arm of Tyron Appleby (with a team record 42 pass attempts) but would fail the 2pt conversion, as they trailed 31-29. It all came down to an outstanding effort by Montreal, getting a turnover on downs on NFR midfield as they would push their way to the NFR zone, as Skype Crista would seal the comeback victory for the Royal with a game clinching 45 yard FG. Montreal wins this slugfest 32-31.
And for the "Highlight game of the week", here Luns's first game recap!:
- It was a warm day in New York as the Defiant were set to host their division rivals in the Nashville Tuts. New York strolls in with a brand new Quarterback. A young nekomata who had an impressive year in Fairview, leading them to the National Championship last year with only a single Interception on her record. However during the pre-season, she struggled immensely leaving the young QB with a lot to prove. On Nashville's side they had Sophmore QB Roman Oliviera starting for the Tuts. His rookie season didn't recieve much fanfare as he only got to start 4 times, Roman was primed and set for his first opening game against an opposition he would see one more time this year.
Scoring opened up late in the 1st Quarter as Emi Tachibana dropped back and delivered a quick pass to Desmond Widmore for a 6 yards score (7-0)
It'd take all the way till the early 3rd Quarter for thr next Touchdown as Dallas Larkin weaved through the stingy New York defense, brekaing tackles and breaking away until he found 6, giving Nashvill the lead
(14-7)
Not too long after that, Emi Tachibana delivered a bomb to the streaking Justice Matari for an explosive 43yd Touchdown to tie it late in the 3rd Quarter.
(14-14)
After a long but unfruitful drive to no man's land, Nashville was forced to punt with 6:28 left to go in the game. While the running game for New York faltered, Emi would deliver dart after dart not letting the ball touch the ground once for all 7 Pass attempts on the drive. This effort allowed New York to get in field goal range with 1:06 left to go. Giving them a late lead.
(17-14)
With 3 timeouts and a dream Nashville would take it at their own 12...
1st Down, a batted down pass by Brisby..incomplete
2nd down, a quick dish to Apple for 5 yards..but it forced them to burn a timeout.
3rd down...an errant throw leading to a crucial 4th down so early in the drives lifespan.
The crowd was booming in New York, chants of Defense filling the Tuts' offenses ears. It seemed to really rattle the poor Tuts as a decent throw by Oliviera was dropped by Baldrick, sealing their fate. New York kneeled the ball away and collected a scrappy opening day win.
Justice Matari really made his new Rookie QB look great with an impressive 7 catches on 8 targets for 105yds. He was running circles around the defense and he was definitely the X Factor in the passing game today. New York will be flying to the Golden State to face off a pissed of California Team fresh off a loss to Chicago. While Nashville will have to lick their wounds quick and get prepared to defend their home turf against Montreal.
Here's week 1 players of the week!:

Here Luns again with her first *Game of the week preview!* :
Week 2 Game of the Week Preview!
The Battle of the Coasts this week has fans clamoring for answers as to which coast is superior..East or West? This Sunday, we’ll have an answer as the California Demons are set to host the New York Defiant. In the past,the Demon’s have tormented the Defiant with 5 wins in the last 8 meetings. However, the Defiant are coming in with their heads held high after a scrappy win at home in Week 1.
CAL Keys to Victory:
Last Week, California fell to Chicago in a dramatic failed comeback that ended 23 yards short of overtime. They let Darius Smith drop bomb after bomb on their defense as the Wild Dog only let the ball hit the ground three times on 25 throws. The air raid proved successful in blowing up their chances at victory and pairing that with a slow starting offense..they were doomed by halftime.
+Start Fast! Hit Hard!
New York’s pass heavy offense is going to be problematic. California struggled to stop Darius and while rookie Emi is nowhere near his level yet; she has tons of weapons and is a smart and accurate QB as shown in her debut. California needs to set the tone, get in her face, and show New York who they are. Hitting the ground running will help tremendously in their endeavors.
+Simplify THEIR Offense
Last week, NYD’s offense was severely limited as their run game was completely shut down. Focusing on stopping their biggest strength offensively and forcing them to rely on their running game for yards should put a chokehold on their offense and ruin the confidence of their young QB. That being said, It's way easier said than done, however if it can be pulled off it would most likely result in a resounding victory.
+Calm Down
84 yards.California lost 84 yards due to penalties. Calm down..it's just a game. Be more disciplined.
New York's Keys to Victory:
Last week, New York had to scrape and crawl to barely beat Nashville at home. The running game was non-existent but the defense and passing was stellar. Emi was a complete surprise as the young Nekomata looked horrible in the pre-season. If they can capture that magic for a full game, this team can go far this year.
+Pass the Test.
This game is the first real test on their schedule, California has a stellar Defense that held Chicago to only 27 points last week. 1 week biases will say they have one of the worst Passing defenses but in reality they faced the number 1 passing offense and the number 1 QB in the league. New York is going to have to take this game seriously and set up their young QB for success if they wish to have success. Scheme players open, run the ball creatively, and protect the kitty in the backfield or this game can get out of paw and fast. For the Defense they have a tall task of stopping Masquerade and Whitman
+Keep the foot on the gas!
Last week, they held a halftime pead of 7-6 and the offense just stalled from that 1 touchdown. A more aggressive approach will prove useful as California has already proved they can fight back from any deficit. That crowd will not shut up no matter how far they are down. Act like every point scored resets the game to 0-0.
+Let them shoot!
The team you're facing kept shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. Do not react to whatever antics they're putting down. Stay disciplined and do what you can to get the refs to join your team this Sunday.
Overview:
Vegas has the game 1.5 points in California's favor. This game, no matter what happens, should be a barn burner with a lot at stake for just a Week 2 game.

Preseason week 2 results / Week 1 Preview!
General | Posted a year agoIt's here...it's coming.....The 2023 UFFL season is coming! Marty here with your UFFL news!
First and foremost, the results of Preseason week 2, recaps by Pythos:
CHI at NOC
New Orleans was held to 22 rushing yards on 28 attempts (though Lopez only played one quarter). Maurice Adams had an 83 yard punt return, and might get more return work in the regular season. Callum Johnson injured his knee during the game, so Lezra Astrah looks to be Smith’s backup for at least the first few games.
Final score: CHI 42, NOC 3
DWN at NFR
North Florida ran ALL over Downriver, with 226 yards on the ground and three rushing TDs for Tyler Wirl. DWN defensive end Wade Coffey had a good day, with two sacks and three QB hits.
Final score: NFR 41, DWN 9
LVB at NSH
MUCH closer game this time. Was all tied up three different times. Rookie Eris Lin threw the game winning TD with two minutes left. Artemis Milano only caught one pass, but it was a 54 yard touchdown. LVB has secondary issues, unfortunately. Cornerback Askar Batyrshin broke his wrist, and safety Odd DeSaggitariutt-Ide Jr. injured his back. Both are likely to miss a month.
Final score: LVB 27, NSH 20
NYD at MTL
This was literally a tale of two halves: Montreal did all of its scoring in the first half, and New York all in the second half. Tyron Appleby only attempted six passes, but two of them went for touchdowns.
Final score: MTL 28, NYD 21
ATX at RIC
Richmond might actually have a team this year. Despite the Austin defense being all over them (9 hurries and 11 QB hits), their QBs still threw for almost 300 yards, and they averaged over 5 yards per carry on the ground. Unfortunately, despite the win Austin still lost both LB Max Prowler and guard Jeffry Becker for multiple games.
Final score: ATX 30, RIC 26
COL at BAL
21 total points were scored in the last three minutes of the game. Colorado was very undisciplined, keeping Baltimore in the game with 11 penalties. Definitely the most exciting game of the week.
Final score: 34, BAL 31
GRD at CAL
Corgie Brooks threw two picks, including an awful pick-six when backed up to their own end zone. There were actually more interceptions than passing touchdowns in this game.
Final score: GRD 34, CAL 10
EAS at MIA
So this is where all the passing TDs went. Six total, with four different QBs throwing touchdown passes. Miami fumbled three times (two lost), though their defense also had a pick-six. Easton’s Daniel Horton missed two field goals.
Final score: EAS 35, MIA 25
Now on to the 2023 UFFL season Week 1 Preview! Having a week 1 Bye (Gosh darn sim, hopefully we fix that next year x.x) Downriver and Las Vegas.
-UFFL 2023 SEASON WEEK 1-
October 20th 2023
California Demons vs Chicago Outlaws
New Orleans Corsairs vs Easton Bald Eagles
Nashville Tuts vs New York Defiant
Richmond Flames vs Austin Blues
Miami Tropics vs Colorado Crushers
Baltimore Ponies vs Grand Rapids Dragons
Montreal Royal vs North Florida Renegades
See you!!
First and foremost, the results of Preseason week 2, recaps by Pythos:
CHI at NOC
New Orleans was held to 22 rushing yards on 28 attempts (though Lopez only played one quarter). Maurice Adams had an 83 yard punt return, and might get more return work in the regular season. Callum Johnson injured his knee during the game, so Lezra Astrah looks to be Smith’s backup for at least the first few games.
Final score: CHI 42, NOC 3
DWN at NFR
North Florida ran ALL over Downriver, with 226 yards on the ground and three rushing TDs for Tyler Wirl. DWN defensive end Wade Coffey had a good day, with two sacks and three QB hits.
Final score: NFR 41, DWN 9
LVB at NSH
MUCH closer game this time. Was all tied up three different times. Rookie Eris Lin threw the game winning TD with two minutes left. Artemis Milano only caught one pass, but it was a 54 yard touchdown. LVB has secondary issues, unfortunately. Cornerback Askar Batyrshin broke his wrist, and safety Odd DeSaggitariutt-Ide Jr. injured his back. Both are likely to miss a month.
Final score: LVB 27, NSH 20
NYD at MTL
This was literally a tale of two halves: Montreal did all of its scoring in the first half, and New York all in the second half. Tyron Appleby only attempted six passes, but two of them went for touchdowns.
Final score: MTL 28, NYD 21
ATX at RIC
Richmond might actually have a team this year. Despite the Austin defense being all over them (9 hurries and 11 QB hits), their QBs still threw for almost 300 yards, and they averaged over 5 yards per carry on the ground. Unfortunately, despite the win Austin still lost both LB Max Prowler and guard Jeffry Becker for multiple games.
Final score: ATX 30, RIC 26
COL at BAL
21 total points were scored in the last three minutes of the game. Colorado was very undisciplined, keeping Baltimore in the game with 11 penalties. Definitely the most exciting game of the week.

General | Posted 2 years agoMarty here! And I got alot to talk about!
First of all, Furbowl 8 has been played. After a tough season, we managed to get to the promise land. At the end of the day, the Austing Blues and the Chicago Outlaws fought and and..

And now on to the league awards!!:
It's time to announce the winners of our seasonal league awards!
- First up will be Offensive Rookie of the Year
It was a close vote, but this season's OROY is.....Caryn Becker (QB - North Florida)!
- Defensive Rookie of the Year was also close, but there can be only one winner, and that winner is...Forrest Buckley (DE - Easton)!
- Offensive Player of the Year was another difficult selection, but ultimately it goes to Sylvester Stapler (QB - Las Vegas)!
- Defensive Player of the Year was much easier to pick, as Jamarcus Triper (DE - Chicago) was the clear winner, running away with the vote.
- Playoff MVP goes to John Gradkowski (WR - Chicago), for putting up 319 yards and 3 touchdowns on only 13 catches.
- And finally, our near unanimous league MVP goes to Callum Johnson (QB - Chicago), for coming out of nowhere and breaking almost every single-season record we had for a quarterback.

Conference Championship results and FURBOWL 8 Revealed!!
General | Posted 2 years agoThey were 4...now only 2 here the results of the Conference Championships!:
- UNITED CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP: Montreal Royal vs Chicago Outlaws-
We are now in Chicago, as the biggest clash of the season is about to happen. For many, this looked like it could have been the furbowl already. But this is only the United Conference championship. Can the Royal be able to reach the final step for a 3-peat title, or will the Outlaws once again reach the top of the mountain, after such a brilliant season from unlikely hero Quarterback Callum Johnson, stepping up for QB Darius Smith this season? As the first quarter rages on, it seems that the Outlaws were stepping up to play, as they soon made Montreal pay with an interception from Tyron Appleby. But would not capitalize on it. The Outlaws' defenses were all over the Royal as they were relentless, scratching and clawing to reach Appleby, as they sacked him. Then they would even block a punt to give themselves a nice field goal to get the first touchdown of the game. Then Appleby would calm things down, being efficient as he would soon punch a TD for Montreal to tie this up. In the second quarter, things were as hard as it had been for the Royal, as suddenly their pillar on the defense, Jetty Abrahams, got injured. Then both teams would not give any space offensively, as both teams made clutch plays until once again, Outlaws burned Appleby with a second interception that once again proved costly as Chicago would score shortly after. Montreal once again tried to charge across the field and had a shot to add some points at Halftime but Rookie kicker Skye Crista would miss a 52 yard field goal before the end of the half. Montreal would certainly have to make adjustments as they trail the Outlaws 14-7.
As the second half started, the Royal seemed to have gained some bite. Running through the Outlaws, they moved forward to the Chicago side of the field, until Appleby was sacked again, as the Tiberwolf had really been attacked all game so far. But on the next possession, Appleby proved he still had some energy left as he would connect with 65 yards with his tight end Sulzbach, then connect again for a touchdown. The Royal defense was getting stiffer as Chicago were feeling the heat, but when they needed a stop, they got the Royal stopped with a 4th and 1 and Montreal gave the ball away. As we were reaching the final quarter, the score was deadlocked at 14-14. The Outlaws would then have good field position as they once again capitalized with a touchdown. Then Royal would be marred by penalties, and then suddenly Outlaws tagged Appleby with his third interception of the game, but this time, they would only get a FG out of the turnover. Trailing 24-14, Montreal knew their playoff lives were on the line. Then Appleby would connect with Sulzbach with a 75 yard bomb which ended up with a touchdown! 24-21! Then The Royal Pass rush would clamp down on Chicago Arial offense, as the Outlaws could not advance to try to give the killing blow, as it would be Montreal that manage to move just enough as Crista kicked a 22 yard FG, huge sequence for the Chicago’s Defense, even more so as Montreal chose to kick on a 4th and inches at Chicago 5 yard line, will this cost the Royal? Now the game was tied 24-24 with 1:12 minutes left in the fourth quarter. It was the Outlaws' chance to make one final decisive drive. They pushed, and pushed and pushed, until they were at point to try to win the game on a 55 yarder from their veteran kicker Thalia Perez which if good would be one yard shy of her career’s longest. Ball snapped, The bear kicked and……..ITS GOOD! 27-24 Chicago!! After the return kick, Montreal had 9 seconds to try to keep their hope for a 3 peat alive. Ball snap, Appleby looking….looking….looking….throws it……SHORT for only 5 yards! GAME OVER! Chicago will advance to Furbowl 8! The king has been slain! Chicago wins 27-24!!!
-CONTINENTAL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP: Downriver Waves vs Austin Blues-
Welcome to the Continental Conference Championship, can rookie quarterback Lillian Newman of the Downriver Waves, who helped her team upset the North Florida Renegades last weekend, take down the Austin Blues, who managed to dispatch the Miami Tropics in the Divisional game last Sunday? We will see! As the game started, Downriver’s magic seemed to still have some sparks left as Ray Bray would pick off Kai Koa and would capitalize later with the first points of the game with a FG. Then Kai Koa and all star running back Wyatt curran would get to work. They combined their forces to charge across the field and scored their first touchdown of the game. Then after a 4 and out by Downriver, Austin would jump right back into going across the field and would score a second touchdown, leading now 14-3, the Waves wanted to turn the tide a bit, but would start by having one of their key receivers Brett Marcus hurt. Then after a penalty in their favor, the Waves would start marching, until Lillian Newman would try to make a run for it…but get STUFFED by Kennith Shrader and would fumble! Shader would recover the ball after that costly turnover. Austin would then start on offense, until they would then fumble the ball back to Downriver! Downriver would gradually move down the field until Lillian Newman was tackled once more by Shrader, this time for a sack. Downriver would eventually settle for a field goal. On their next offensive sequence, Lillian would once again get intercepted, this time deep within their own zone! Fortunately, the Blues only got a FG from this. Both teams would trade an offensive sequence until halftime. Austin led the Waves 17-6.
On to the second half of the game. The Waves would start with the ball. Knowing they needed to start scoring, they would go nowhere on their first sequence. After strong completions and a Downriver penalty, Koa would once again connect with a TD, as now it was 24-6 Austin. The crowd was crazy for their hometown team, as Downriver could not manage anything in the third quarter. Curran and Kenton would run through the Waves’s defense as they ended up scoring another TD, as things started to look dire for the Waves. Then things would get nasty, as both Austin and Downriver would trade penalties with Austin eating the game clock until in the fourth. After a FG from Austin, it seemed like Austin would lay off the gas a bit, as they were getting penalized a lot, as eventually Newman would connect with Marcus and score another TD. 34-13 Austin. After a failed onside kick, Downriver would then have another shot, As Newman would throw a bomb for 75 yards to Cedric Wolff for another TD. 34-20 Austin. Fighting for pride, Downriver would try for another onside kick……..But Fails! And soon, Austin would kneel the ball and for the first time in their young Existence, they were heading to the Big Apple for Furbowl 8! Austin wins 34-20!
Now everything is set...

UFFL Divisional playoffs Results and Conf. Championships!
General | Posted 2 years agoThey were 8, now they are 4. Here the results for this weekend Divisional Playoffs:
- First, we start first our playoff coverage in Chicago, as the Outlaws faced the dangerous offense of the Las Vegas Bandits and their star QB, Slyvester Stapler. Even though the Bandits had a tough time with a losing record this season, the offense of the Bandits was nothing to sneeze at. And early on, they showed it. They managed to move the ball as well as they could, as suddenly at the half, the Bandit had shocked the Chicago crowd as they were leading the Heavy favorites Outlaws 17-12. Then perhaps the moment of the game that could have turned the game on its head. Having Darius Smith in the fray for the game, he would then be taken out of the game on an concussion during a rough running play, as the Outlaws fans would hold their breath, Callum being not available to be used in this game, the playoffs hopes of the Outlaws fell on the hands of backup QB Lezra Astrash. In a total reversal of fortune, Astrah would prove to be a real clutch for the team, as Lezra would throw for a passer rating of 146.8% in the second half, as Chicago went Beast mode. From the end of the second quarter and the middle of the fourth, the Outlaws would score 25 points unanswered to a shellshocked Bandits. Stapler would then try all he might to bring Las Vegas closer towards the end with one more TDs, but they ran out of time, as the Outlaws would show real playoff grit and moved on to the United championship game, winning 34-24!
- It now turns into la belle province, as the reigning champions for the last 2 seasons, the Montreal Royal, will embark in the most difficult task they ever had; going for a 3-peat! Standing against them, the New York Defiant, the only other teams other than the Outlaws that managed to beat them. As the game started, New York started out strong, with a pick six from Dean Arden and another throwing TD from Dawkins, the Defiant seemed to put doubt in the minds of the Royal fans, leading 14-7 after one quarter. You could then see Jetty Abrahams shouting to his defensive squad to step on up as Tyron Appleby would try to hype his squad up. Then out of the blue, it seemed like the Royal got the kick in the ass they needed. They woke up, reeeeally woke up. From the second quarter and forward, it was allll Montreal. The Royal would score 23 points in the second quarter, and gave nothing for the Defiant to climb back up into. Cody Fowler would have a pick six of his own! Rookie kicker Skye Crista kicked a playoff record 55 yards FG for the Royal and forced New York to try to pass the rest of the game away (only 12 rushing attempts for New York) New York tried everything to get back at Montreal, as they were penalized for 12 penalties for 100 yards, and suffered 4 turnovers. Now it was none clearer right now, the rubber match will happen for the United Championship game, Montreal vs Chicago III. Montreal wins 44-14.
- Going on in Tallahasse, The North Florida Renegades have been on fire after a slow start, and entered the competition with all the confidence in the world. Led by a stingy defense, veteran rushing and brilliant play of rookie QB Caryn Becker, they faced the Downriver waves, led by another brilliant QB in Lillian Newman, who had a tall task ahead of her. The game started slow, as both teams seemed to try and understand what they had to deal with, then the first mistake was made by North Florida. Caryn Becker would throw a costly pick six to Thomas McCarthy who will be a very important player for Downriver in this game. Not to be denied, even Lilliam Newman would join in herself, as she ran a TD of her own to put the Waves ahead by 1 score. North Florida outstanding offense seemed to be not has potent as we usually seen as Downriver Defense was surprisingly stout so far, as North Florida had difficulty to gain some ground, as also their kicker would miss 2 out of 3 FGs attempts, which at this point it would be costly to let points hanging. Downriver continued to keep going strong in not bending through the game, as young Newman would earn her playoffs bruises as she was sacked 3 times today. After finally gaining a TD on a 75 yard bomb to Jesse Oahu (NFR playoff record with 144 total receiving yards) they would let points off the board again, failing a 2pt conversion, as Downriver led 21-16 at the third quarter. Then North Florida would commit another fatal mistake at the end of the third, an interception to Thomas McCarthy again, as the Downriver waves, even the opportunists, would score in the fourth making the score 31-16! North Florida, utterly rendered silent at this point, started to rush things trying to desperately try to climb back up, something they never had to do much for multiple weeks, but would only get sacked and suffered turnover on downs. Against all odds as the final second ticked on the clock, the Downriver Waves caused the upset of the playoffs as they managed to win a 31-16 win against the North Florida Renegades, punching their ticket for the Continental Championship for the first time since the inaugural season!
- Finally in the final game of the divisional round, it was down to Texas, as the Blues would welcome the Miami Tropics. Miami showed this season their defense was solid, but their offense would have to match up the complete package that the Austin Blues would provide. After a rather quiet and highly defensive game from both ends, it would then be on the hands of Carrice Kenton to carry his teams to the promised land. The elite RB of the Blues would then proceed to make history as he would run for 166 yards on the helpless Tropics, setting a new League playoff record. As much as the defense did it best to keep the Tropics in the game, the offense once again has sincerely lacking, the rushing attack went nowhere for only 32 rushing yards in total and the passing attack didn't managed to get enough separation to do any damage, as much as Fernandez did all he could in a decent outing. The Blues would once again go for the Continental title under new colors. Austin wins 27-6.
We are now down to the Conference Championships!

The Royal would score 23 points in the second quarter, and gave nothing for the Defiant to climb back up into. Cody Fowler would have a pick six of his own! Rookie kicker Skye Crista kicked a playoff record 55 yards FG for the Royal and forced New York to try to pass the rest of the game away (only 12 rushing attempts for New York) New York tried everything to get back at Montreal, as they were penalized for 12 penalties for 100 yards, and suffered 4 turnovers. Now it was none clearer right now, the rubber match will happen for the United Championship game, Montreal vs Chicago III. Montreal wins 44-14.
- Going on in Tallahasse, The North Florida Renegades have been on fire after a slow start, and entered the competition with all the confidence in the world. Led by a stingy defense, veteran rushing and brilliant play of rookie QB Caryn Becker, they faced the Downriver waves, led by another brilliant QB in Lillian Newman, who had a tall task ahead of her. The game started slow, as both teams seemed to try and understand what they had to deal with, then the first mistake was made by North Florida. Caryn Becker would throw a costly pick six to Thomas McCarthy who will be a very important player for Downriver in this game. Not to be denied, even Lilliam Newman would join in herself, as she ran a TD of her own to put the Waves ahead by 1 score. North Florida outstanding offense seemed to be not has potent as we usually seen as Downriver Defense was surprisingly stout so far, as North Florida had difficulty to gain some ground, as also their kicker would miss 2 out of 3 FGs attempts, which at this point it would be costly to let points hanging. Downriver continued to keep going strong in not bending through the game, as young Newman would earn her playoffs bruises as she was sacked 3 times today. After finally gaining a TD on a 75 yard bomb to Jesse Oahu (NFR playoff record with 144 total receiving yards) they would let points off the board again, failing a 2pt conversion, as Downriver led 21-16 at the third quarter. Then North Florida would commit another fatal mistake at the end of the third, an interception to Thomas McCarthy again, as the Downriver waves, even the opportunists, would score in the fourth making the score 31-16! North Florida, utterly rendered silent at this point, started to rush things trying to desperately try to climb back up, something they never had to do much for multiple weeks, but would only get sacked and suffered turnover on downs. Against all odds as the final second ticked on the clock, the Downriver Waves caused the upset of the playoffs as they managed to win a 31-16 win against the North Florida Renegades, punching their ticket for the Continental Championship for the first time since the inaugural season!
- Finally in the final game of the divisional round, it was down to Texas, as the Blues would welcome the Miami Tropics. Miami showed this season their defense was solid, but their offense would have to match up the complete package that the Austin Blues would provide. After a rather quiet and highly defensive game from both ends, it would then be on the hands of Carrice Kenton to carry his teams to the promised land. The elite RB of the Blues would then proceed to make history as he would run for 166 yards on the helpless Tropics, setting a new League playoff record. As much as the defense did it best to keep the Tropics in the game, the offense once again has sincerely lacking, the rushing attack went nowhere for only 32 rushing yards in total and the passing attack didn't managed to get enough separation to do any damage, as much as Fernandez did all he could in a decent outing. The Blues would once again go for the Continental title under new colors. Austin wins 27-6.
We are now down to the Conference Championships!

UFFL week 17 results and DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS preview!
General | Posted 2 years agoWe finally got to the end of it. Here is Marty with the final week of the UFFL season Results!
- In New Orleans, the Bandits had a lot on line, as They needed to win and needed some help from Chicago to get that final United playoff spot. But it seemed that the Corsairs wanted to play spoiler as they scored 31 unanswered points at the start of the game until the Bandits finally woke up. The Bandits looked off all game, as Stapler had the worst game of the year (at the worst possible time) as he had only 2 TDs and threw an INT. The Bandits were held under 200 yards of offense, as New Orleans came out of this game with some pride with a 34-14 win. This game has Vegas frustrated enough, as 18 total penalties for 180 yards lost was awarded into that messing game. There is something to be happy about for the Corsairs as they finish the season with a 7-9 record, compared to 4-12 last season. A dejected Bandits team can now only watch and hope for some help from Chicago.
- In Easton, with no possible way in getting to the playoffs, the Bald Eagles wanted to finish the season strong, as while the Defiant were qualified, they at least wanted to perhaps get a little momentum going in said playoffs. Despite being outgained by 100 yards by New York, Easton had something to be encouraged upon; Delpj Alder, injured since week 4, has finally returned and would lift Easton’s spirits as he would score 3 TDs. They would leave the stadium with a smile on their faces as The Bald Eagles won 35-24. In an ultimate twist of irony, Fritz Lockhart tore his biceps, hopefully he will be ready for next season. The injuries I swear…
- As we head to Montreal, The Royal were primed to show they are ready to challenge for that 3pear. Unfortunately for the California Demons, They had to suffer the full force of a hungry Royal, led by a returning Vito Loguistica, clear from injury. The Bee ran for 135 yards and scored 2 TDs, Claudio Fox was stellar in defense, scoring 2 INTs including a pick six in this. Montreal won 48-10, and sent a clear message to the league; try to take our title from us.
- In Nashville, the Tuts had a tall task ahead of them. Not only did they know that Vegas just lost, but they had to attempt to win this game against a tough Outlaws team that were fighting just to get home field advantage for the playoffs. John Gradkowski has one hell of a game with 164 receiving yards. Nashville had a clean game today with no penalties and this game had a combined 1000 yards of offense. Nashville tried all they could…but Chicago was just.too.good. Callum Johnson was pulled in the third quarter after a knee injury, as now Darius Smith came into the game. Callum had 400 yards passing and 4 TDs. What did Smith do? Just had a 79 yard TD scramble (longest rush in Outlaws history). Chicago won 41-26, thus ending the Tuts’s season at the doorstep. Not all was smiles for Chicago, as Jean-Étienne Tremblay will possibly miss the Divisional round with a turf toe.
- In Austin, The Blues ended the season against Miami on a rather low scoring game, real low. One of the lowest of the year and possibly a Scorigami. Austin QB Kai Koa had only 130 passing yards, possibly the lowest amount of yards from a winning QB in years. Pierre-Luc Charlemagne scored 7 tackles with a sack/safety for Miami, but the Tropics attack had nothing in the tank on this day, as the Blues won 17-5. Defensive Tackle of the Blues Logan Virtanen will likely miss at least the Divisional round with a fractured eye socket.
- In Grand Rapids, Colorado has a job to do; win and hoping the Waves would lose later. But on the Dragon's side, they were not about to make this easy. As their season was over, they wanted to end on a good note and stop their losing streak. Andrew Calder stood for Redfield that had his season ended last week, and did all he could. But all game the Crushers had to play catchup with the Dragons as they played a strong game today. Led 20-7, Colorado went on a run, to a point putting the score close at 21-23, But a FG from Dragon’s kicker Earl Holey sealed it, as Grand Rapids finished the year with a 26-21 win. Unfortunately, this sounded the end of Colorado playoffs' hopes.
- In Richmond, we all knew what it was all for. The fans in Richmond were hoping,praying, that the Flames would not become the first team in UFFL history to have a winless season. The Baltimore Ponies hoped to get this season over with and not be “that one team” that allowed the Flames to avoid the history books. First, that game was chippy. As many penalties then the Vegas/New Orleans game. Hailey Reisman of Baltimore had 300 all purpose yards, a Rookie Record, while Jillian St-claire had a record of completion with 32. The Ponies were fighting. But so was the Flames. Alice Lacoste had 18 tackles as a team record for the Flames.3 Richmond receivers had over 100 yards. Darnell Paige has even a 69(Nice) yards TD scramble as well. AT the end of the third quarter, Baltimore ended up leading 30-27…then like if it was scripted like a movie (we are NOT scripted!) Richmond went with 20 unanswered points. Cheer up RIchmond, you will not go winless. Richmond wins 40-27!
- Finally in North Florida, The Waves, thanks to the loss of Colorado, were sure to get into the playoffs. But for now, all that's left for them is get ready and give North Florida a challenge. North Florida was not stopping in their winning ways, as they wanted to make sure they got the leg up on the Blues for home field advantage in the Continental. North Florida gave no quarter to Downriver, as Rookie QB Caryn Becker showed her stuff against other Rookie Lillian Newman, did okay, but not enough for them to keep up in the game. The Renegades rushing attack proved to be corrosive once again, as they ran rough shots on Downriver Defensive line, with a total 155 yards on them. North Florida ended up winning 34-13, securing Home Field advantage for the playoffs in the Continental. In other news, Lucky got another sack! In not so great news, Free safety Danielle Bosma tore her PCL, which will make her miss the entire playoffs.
Players of the Week
Offensive: Darnell Paige (QB – RIC): 17/28 passing for 410 passing yards and 2 TDs, plus a 69 yard rushing TD
Defensive: Claudio Fox (FS – MTL): 4 tackles, 3 pass defenses, and two interceptions including a 28 yard pick-six
Special Teams: Hailey Reisman (WR – BAL): six kickoff returns for 179 return yards
With this, now NASHVILLE and COLORADO are now Eliminated, which means DOWNRIVER and LAS VEGAS moves on to the playoffs! Here the preview:

UFFL 2022 season week 16 results and week 17 Preview!
General | Posted 2 years agoThe end of the season is heating up! Here Marty with week 16 results:
Las Vegas at Chicago
We knew coming into this game that it was going to be a fun one, with the two front-runner for MVP, Sylvester Stapler and Callum Johnson, going head-to-head. The last time these two met, in week 13, it was a high-scoring shootout, with both teams putting up over 30 points. A similar game was expected today, and it did not disappoint. There were three touchdown passes of 60 yards or more in the second quarter alone, with over 650 combined yards through the air. It was also a close game, with the Outlaws only up by four at the half. It looked like they were going to run away with it in the second half, scoring 16 unanswered points, but Stapler and the Bandits came back in the fourth quarter to make it a one-score game. It was too little too late, however, and Chicago would end up sweeping the season series with a win. Final score: CHI 39, LVB 33
New York at Montreal
The Defiant have made a season out of getting outplayed in the box score, but holding on for the win. They almost managed to do it again today against the Royal. Despite being outgained by over 100 yards and only completing 50% of their passes, New York held a three-point lead in the fourth quarter on the strength of three Montreal turnovers and four field goals by Emmett Smith (who’d also missed one from 42 in the first quarter). That miss would prove to be costly, as the Royal would tie the game with one of their own, and then get the win with a chip-shot field goal after getting stopped at the 1 with 90 seconds left. On the bright side, NYD backup linebacker Carl Araujo played just one snap all game, but on that lone play managed to catch the first interception of his four-year career. Final score: MTL 22, NYD 19
New Orleans at Nashville
Roman Oliviera did NOT look good last week filling in for Kiedo Masquarde, tossing three picks to just one touchdown. This week, he managed to flip that ratio, leading his team to victory with three touchdown passes despite only recording 164 yards passing. Things were very slow to start, with no scoring from either team in the first quarter. But when things finally got going, they went in a hurry, with the Tuts rattling off 21 unanswered points in only five minutes in the second. While they weren’t able to maintain that pace, it was enough of a cushion to withstand some late scoring, especially given the other major news from this game. Presumptive offensive rookie of the year favorite Leone Lopez left the game on a cart following a non-contact injury in the third quarter. He is expected to miss next week’s season finale with a torn meniscus, bringing his rookie season to a close. Final score: NSH 31, NOC 24
Austin at Richmond
Now this one just wasn’t fair. Not only did the Flames run defense get seriously outplayed, allowing 233 yards on the ground, but the team as a whole got beat up too – literally. Austin only recorded one official sack, but that’s because they got flagged five times for unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct. I guess they were just mad about nearly losing to the Flames four weeks ago. Well, it wasn’t anywhere near as close this time. With this loss, Richmond has secured the number one overall draft pick. Final score: ATX 35, RIC 13
Colorado at Baltimore
Forget Colorado’s forgettable season. Forget Baltimore’s even more forgettable season. Let’s jump right to what’s important about this game: Aspen Redfield nearly died on the field. Okay, that's a little sensationalist, but there were indeed life-threatening complications from the injury. Late in the third quarter, he was hit as he threw on a pass attempt, and went down hard before clutching at his chest in obvious pain. The team doctor was with him for maybe 30 seconds before calling for an ambulance. Fortunately, after James Nixon’s injury earlier this season the league has required all teams to have emergency services on standby at the stadiums on game day. It probably saved Redfield’s life, as it was later determined that part of a rib broke off during the hit and subsequently punctured his lung, leading to obstructive shock. He is expected to make a full recovery, and the injury isn’t expected to affect his career long-term, but for now his season is done.
Oh, yeah, the game. Before that all happened, Colorado scored 28 points in the first quarter. Baltimore made a game of it, including three touchdowns from Hailey Reisman, but four scores was too much for them to overcome. Oh, and Kyle Gradkowski set a Crushers team receiving yards record, with 151. Final score: COL 40, BAL 28
Miami at Downriver
You’d think Miami would have a disadvantage, coming to Michigan for a game that was 22 F at kickoff, with wind chill temps at 8 degrees. Lol, nope. Raoul Fernandez set a team record with 352 passing yards, and second-year undrafted running back Rauta Kyro scored his first career touchdown. Neither team ran the ball well, though, with Downriver in particular having a rough day on the ground. They only netted a total of 21 yards, though with Lillian Newman throwing the ball 50 times there weren’t many rushing attempts to go around. Final score: MIA 27, DWN 17
North Florida at California
This game was entirely the Charlotte Vorce show. The veteran back just could not be stopped, putting up a career high 155 rushing yards. Not bad for a 30 year old back in her ninth season as a pro. Unfortunately, the Demons were handicapped in this game from the start. Elise Beaumont was only on the field for two possessions before being pulled for John Cameron. The official statement called it a “sports hernia”, though that’s usually a chronic sort of injury and Beaumont was ruled out immediately following a sack, so we’re not sure what’s actually going on there. Anyway, in her absence California was held out of the end zone, only managing a couple of field goals. Final score: NFR 17, CAL 9
Players of the Week
Offensive: Carrice Kenton (RB – ATX): 147 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and one catch for a 1-yard receiving TD
Defensive: Steve Campos (CB - COL): six tackles, a sack, two pass deflections, an interception and a safety
Special Teams: Roy Viridi-Aqua (WR – MIA): one kick return for 18 yards, and four punt returns for a total of 81 yards, including a 51 yard return TD
-Week 17 preview-
Las Vegas (7-8) vs New Orleans (6-9)
New York (8-7) vs Easton (6-9)
California (5-10) vs Montreal (13-2)

UFFL 2022 season week 15 results and week 16 preview!
General | Posted 2 years agoHello its Marty! it's getting closer to playoffs! Here week 15 results:
Las Vegas at California
During the first half of this game it looks like it was anyone’s contest. The Bandits took an early lead, but the Demons came back with a touchdown and field goal in the second quarter, and held a three point lead at the half. But things definitely changed in the third quarter, as Vegas scored twice in the span of three minutes to take a two score lead. And that’s when the wheels seemed to fall off for them. A missed field goal followed by an interception gave California a chance to score, making it a two point game, and they got the stop to get the ball back with 97 seconds left on the clock. Unfortunately, two incompletions and a false start penalty left them facing a 4th and 15, and despite completing a pass to Mark Karm they weren’t able to convert. Final score: LVB 29, CAL 27
Easton at Chicago
Well, there’s good news and bad news for the Easton defense. The good news: they held the super-hot Callum Johnson to only 9 completions all game. The bad news: four of those completions were in the end zone. More good news: Jean-Etienne Tremblay’s running game got shut down, and he gained only 26 yards on ten attempts. More bad news: that’s because he was catching balls instead, with 112 receiving yards and two TDs. One of those touchdowns was thrown by Darius Smith, making his first appearance after missing seven games with a torn MCL. He was able to get into the game because it was 28-0 at the half, and 35-3 at the end of the third quarter. About the only actually highlight for the beleaguered Bald Eagles was rookie edge rusher Forrest Buckley, who recorded a team record four sacks. Final score: CHI 45, EAS 10
New York at New Orleans
After New York eked out a win in overtime last week, it’s time to go right back at it with a rematch, this time in the Big Easy. And on paper, the Defiant definitely had the better time on offense. They outgained the Corsairs through the air and especially on the group, where Leone Lopez was held to just 40 yards, almost half of which came on a single 17 yard rush in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Justice Matari was showing his little brother Honor how things are done, taking a slant route 74 yards for a score. Despite this, however, New Orleans would take the lead with a field goal at the end of the first quarter, and wouldn’t relinquish it. The Defiant at least made things interesting, scoring with just 16 seconds left and lining up for an onside kick. Cornerback and kick returner Bennett McWilliams was able to fall on the ball, however, sealing the revenge game for the home team. Final score: NOC 26, NYD 20
Montreal at Nashville
In week 4, rookie Roman Oliviera started for the injured Kiedo Masquarde and had one of the best games ever for a rookie, passing for 431 yards and four touchdowns. Flash forward to now, and Oliviera is again subbing for the ailing veteran, his first start since that game. Unfortunately, today didn’t go quite so well. Oliviera threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for scores in a game that was decided by only six points. The game wasn’t actually even that close, as the Tuts only scored because of a Montreal fumble late in the fourth quarter that left them already in field goal range. To add insult to injury, Tuts defensive tackle Norton Delgado tore his PCL and will miss the rest of the season. On the other side of the ball, Tyron Appleby didn’t have a great game, failing to throw for a touchdown and turning the ball over twice. But it was enough to stay ahead of Nashville, and that’s what counts in the long run. Final score: MTL 30, NSH 24
Austin at Grand Rapids
If the previous game wasn’t actually as close as it appears, this one wasn’t actually as much of a rout as it looks from the final score. Both teams were pretty much even in the stat lines, and Bobby Burnette threw for a personal best 387 yards (a good portion of which went to Daniel van Baarle, whose 152 receiving yards was also a career high). No, the real deciding factor was, once again, the turnovers. Burnette also threw three picks, including a pick-six. The Blues were only up by six when that interception was thrown, at the very end of the second quarter. Austin would come out of halftime and score 14 more unanswered points, permanently putting the game out of reach. It wasn’t all a lark for the Blues, however. Receiver Stephen Harris injured his hip and is likely to miss the rest of the regular season, though there is hope that he could be ready for the playoffs. Final score: ATX 44, GRD 20
Downriver at Richmond
Well, after a couple of really close games, it looks like the Flames finally got doused by some water. The Waves came into town and just stopped all over the hapless Flames…or did they? Much like the ATX/GRD game, it was actually still close at the half. Downriver only led by three as late as the third quarter, when Darrel Hutchinson caught a 40 yard touchdown pass to make it 20-17. That’s when the Waves turned on the fire hose, however, scoring 34 unanswered points. Three of those scores belonged to running back Cedric Wolff, who tied his career best in touchdowns and absolutely couldn’t be stopped in the fourth quarter. In part because of this late focus on the ground game, Flames rookie linebacker Alice Lacoste was able to turn into a one-woman wrecking crew, recording 15 tackles, by far her best day as a pro. Final score: DWN 54, RIC 17
Colorado at Miami
With Raoul Fernandez doubtful to play today, a lot of pundits were predicting a disaster for the Tropics. In the super-competitive Continental East, it would only take one or two losses for the rest of the season for Miami to slip out of the playoff race, especially after that bad loss to Vegas last week. Fortunately, backup QB Drew Dillinger proved to up to the task, leading a comeback victory in the fourth quarter to keep Miami in the hunt for the postseason. It was a low-scoring, defensive battle, with neither team managing to do much through the air. But Dillinger got completions when they counted, finding Trevor Eddy in the end zone twice in the fourth quarter to erase a 10 point deficit and give the Tropics the win. Final score: MIA 16, COL 13
Baltimore at North Florida
In what seems to be a familiar refrain for the Ponies over the last month, this one was close, but just not quite far enough. They came into the game as massive underdogs, with Vegas giving the Renegades a 10.5 point spread. By that measure, Baltimore succeeded with flying colors. It took a career day from the veteran receiver Olen Reuyters, who had a team record 162 receiving yards, for the Renegade to maintain even a one score lead throughout much of the game. A field goal and a touchdown in the fourth quarter left the Ponies only down by two, and they managed to force a three-and-out to get the ball back one more time. Unfortunately, the punt pinned them at their own 1 yard line, with no time outs and only 37 seconds. A sack and three incompletions would end their comeback hopes yet again. Final score: NFR 22, BAL 20
Players of the Week:
Offense: Cedric Wolff (RB – DWN): 142 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs, plus three catches for 11 yards
Defense: Isaac Hunt (CB – MTL): 6 tackles, 3 pass defenses, two interceptions and a defensive TD
Special Teams: Jamie Hodges (P – NFR): 5 punts for 210 yards
Week 16 Preview:
Las Vegas (7-7) vs Chicago (12-2)
New York (8-6) vs Montreal (12-2)
New Orleans (6-8) vs Nashville (6-8)
Austin (10-4) vs Richmond (0-14)
Colorado (6-8) vs Baltimore (2-12)
Miami (9-5) vs Downriver (8-6)

2022 UFFL season week 14 results and Week 15 preview!
General | Posted 2 years agoGood day UFFL fans! Here Marty with week 14 results:
- We start the week in Easton, as the Bald Eagles continue to fight for their playoffs lives, as they would face the Montreal Royal. You could notice that this game was important, as the tension was high as both teams were given 18 combined penalties. Both teams kept neck and neck till the final quarter, as Easton had a chance to tie the game late in the game, but ultimately Draco Lindwurm threw a pick in the Royal’s territory to seal their fate, Montreal won 21-14.
- In Nashville, the Tuts, while last in their division, could still hope and dream in getting in for a playoff spot, as they faced the California Demons, also fighting for a spot. Things started badly for the Demons as QB Elise Beaumont left the game with concussion symptoms after a hit on the second play of the game, as the backup Ryan Buoniconti did the rest of the game….until he got hurt late (Elise is expected to return for week 15, but Buoniconti may miss a week or two). Nashville won 21-13 thanks to the foot of Kicker Kris Clueton, scoring 4/5 FGs. Not all good for Nashville though, as they lose both Kiedo Masquarde and Dexter Mullen to significant injuries.
- In the big apple, New York were trying to get back into their winning ways as they faced a spirited New Orleans Corsairs, fresh from a big win in week 13. Both teams played a close game until the very end where the Corsairs managed to tie the game at the 2 minute warning mark. Defiant kicker Emmett Smith had the win on the tip of his boot at the end of the game, but sadly missed. As both teams went into overtime, New York Managed to pick off New Orleans and eventually, Smith would redeem himself with a 50 yard FG that clinched the win for New York, 33-30.
- Back in Austin, as had quite the scrapper between the Ponies and and Blues.. Real scrappy. 25 combined penalties scrappy. One of the bright stars in an otherwise tough season for the Ponies, Hailey Reisman, shined in this game, with 102 yards receiving on 7 receptions with 2 TDs. She even stepped up further as she scored a 107 yards kickoff return for Baltimore as they led the game 24-21 in the fourth quarter, but alas, Austin would eventually strike back with another TD in the fourth and hold off Baltimore chances at a win. The Blues wins this one 28-24.
- In Colorado, it was a back to back series against the RIchmond Flames, as while they were still winless, the team seemed to show a lot more fight and spirit than ever since the start of the year. Both QBs were hot, as Redfield and Paige scored 4 TDs, a record for both of them. It came down to the wire for Richmond, as once again, they were due for one. Richmond was in the red zone with a chance to tie the game and send it to overtime, but turned it over on downs. This one was even more painful, as they were at 4th and 9 from the 10 yard line with 30 seconds to go, and they were inches shy of the first down on the final play. Colorado won this one, 42-35. Things again are complicated for Colorado, as Defensive End John Thacker will miss the rest of the season with a broken foot. Richmond has scored more than 28 points in three straight, having scored 28 or less since the start of the year. There is definitely hope. And by the way, At long last, Jeordie Khalil scored his first career TD in the third quarter. Way to go buddy!
- In North Florida, the steam roller that is the North Florida Renegades continued to show their dominance as they faced the Grand Rapids Dragon. Grand Rapids QB Bobby Brunette played well for the Dragons despite his 2 INTs as they went back and forth with the Renegades. Much to his dismay, Lucky didn't get another sack but North Florida Cornerback Dennis Shertick scored his first career pick six in the fourth that really broke the Dragon's back and momentum. North Florida wins 38-24, their 8th win in a row!
- In Downriver, after a tough outing against the Montreal Royal, the Waves hoped for a better game against the strong Chicago Outlaws. Unfortunately, this was sadly not the case. While Lilian Newman didn’t throw a pick, she was running for her life all game, being pressured and sacked 4 times. As Chicago outgained Downriver by over 250 yards. The Outlaws, led by the veteran Jean-Étienne Tremblay, ran the ball all over the waves and gouged them. Alan Bueno would have scored a 106 kickoff return for Downriver, but it was pretty much garbage time. Chicago cruises 52-17. Star QB Darius Smith is probable to play for next week, but the Outlaws announced that they will go with Callum Johnson for the rest of the season.
- Finally in Las Vegas, Sylvester Stapler showed the excellence of the Bandits passing offense as they would break the streak of the Miami Tropics, beating them 54-26. Drew Dillinger of Miami put up a great fight, with 300 yards and 3 TDs, but Stapler was again at the top of his game: His second 6 TDs game 2 more 6 TDs games then the whole league combined, 5 Different receivers caught a TD for the Bandits. Simply sensational.
Players of the Week
Offense: Darnell Paige (QB - RIC): 270 passing yards, 4 passing TDs, plus 70 rushing yards and a rushing TD
Defense: Jamarcus Triper (DE – CHI): Five tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery

UFFL 2022 Week 13 Results and week 14 preview!
General | Posted 2 years agoHullo! Marty here with week 13 Results:
- In Las Vegas, the Bandits were looking to close the gap in the division against the Chicago Outlaws. Boy, this was a total offensive affair, what’s a defense anyway? Over 1000 of total combined yards of offense, as well as 9 combined touchdowns! Both teams went blow for blow all the way to the fourth quarter. The Bandits fought hard, as at one point they managed to tie the game with a 2 points conversion with a minute to play..But once again, Quarterback Callum Johnson, having the season of his life for the Outlaws, threw a 71 yards bomb to Jean-Étienne Tremblay 20 minutes later to help beat out the Bandits 38-31. Callum Johnson, continuing on his MVP campaign, set a new league record with 461 yards passing, and has scored 17 touchdowns in the last 4 games.
- In Nashville, the Tuts were trying to salvage their season as they faced the scrappy Easton Bald Eagles. And when I mean scrappy, I mean scrappy. Both teams combined for 18 combined penalties during the game. Eventually in all that scrappiness, it was the Tuts that played on top with their running game. More specially, Running back rookie Bubba Deezen had his first multi-touchdown game since week 1, as Nashville ran for 145 yards total on Easton as they would win this game 28-16.
- Down in New York, the Defiant were having a lil bit of trouble after going to a good stretch, as they once again struggled against a California Demons team that they should have probably beaten. New York QB Adrie Dawkins was particularly bad this game, making 40% of his throws for 106 yards. Not to help also, NYD safety Wilmer Wade suffered a dislocated knee that will probably miss a month of play. Things seemed it would turn alright for the Defiant, until the Demons managed to come from behind with a game winning drive, getting the field goal after receiving the ball with 100 seconds left. The demons won 19-16.
- It was a rematch in Grand Rapids, as Miami was trying to win once more against the Dragons as the game bizarrely…would only get exciting until the fourth quarter.( Grand Rapids led 7-3 after 3 quarters).Miami QB Raoul Fernandez was removed from the game at the half against a rough sack, as the game was in the hands of Drew Dillinger. Stephen Stovall had 5 tackles for a loss, the most so far this season. So, that fourth quarter? Here it is in a nutshell: Grand Rapids scored and had a pick six within 40 seconds at the end of the fourth quarter to take a 10 point lead, and then Miami scored twice with less than a minute to go (touchdown, onside kick recovery, 52 yard touchdown throw) for the win. That escalated quickly. Miami wins 24-20.
- In Richmond, the Flames were trying to retain the magic they had last week after nearly beating The Blues, as they faced Colorado. Darnell Paige for the Flames had the offense on his back for his team, as he scrambled for a 73 yard rushing TD, which was the third longest TD rush by a QB in league history. And it came at the very end of the game as Colorado led 30-20. Then onside kick! The flames recovered! Then another touchdown! And a 2 point conversion is good! 30-28 Colorado with 35 seconds left in the game! Richmond fans believed it till the very end…..but alas, they could not get a second onside kick. The Crushers won a 30-28 heartbreaker. Even in victory, you could see Colorado rookie Jeordie Khalil being a little disappointed on the bench, as he had been trying to get that elusive first TD of his career since the start of the season. Keep working kid.
- In North Florida, the Renegades were facing a good test against the Austins Blues. Winner of 6 straight. They were trying to continue on their roll and show their run was no fluke. And the game was quite a statement indeed. When you look at the final score, North Florida's score should have been higher, as they had to settle for a Field in 4 separate red zone trips, something they definitely are going to have to work on. But otherwise, North Florida was hoarding the ball as Austin only held the ball for a mere 20 minutes of possession. Caryn Becker was 26/29 on her throws, being nearly perfect and just like that, the Renegades won 7 straight after starting the season 2-3. Watch out UFFL. North Florida wins 26-13.
- In Montreal, an interesting matchup was happening between Downriver and the Royal. The Waves, led by rookie sensation Lillian Newman, was impressive so far this season. But soon enough, the Royal were about to show the great rookie a royal introduction to why they are the defending champ, just like they did for other rookie phenom Leone Lopez back early this season. It was by far the worst performance of the young Newman career, throwing 3 interceptions, as Issac Hunt had the first 2 pick six games of the season, and the Royal would not slack off scoring 20 unanswered points in the second quarter after a Raymon Price safety. The crowd even started to chant “Easy-Dubs” in the crowd to Newman at the end of the game. Certainly a learning experience. Montreal wins 30-8.
- And finally in New Orleans, and I say finally, as I'm sure the Baltimore Ponies were eager to get out of Louisiana…there not much to say..New Orleans scored 38 unanswered points in the first half to start the game. Baltimore QB St. Claire got sacked six times. New Orleans had 281 rushing yards. Leone Lopez passed 1000 yards for the season. NOC kicker Barry Boulizani kicked a team-record 59 yard field goal. The Corsairs won 57-10.

*crickets*
.....oh. .3. Well see you next week folks.
- In Las Vegas, the Bandits were looking to close the gap in the division against the Chicago Outlaws. Boy, this was a total offensive affair, what’s a defense anyway? Over 1000 of total combined yards of offense, as well as 9 combined touchdowns! Both teams went blow for blow all the way to the fourth quarter. The Bandits fought hard, as at one point they managed to tie the game with a 2 points conversion with a minute to play..But once again, Quarterback Callum Johnson, having the season of his life for the Outlaws, threw a 71 yards bomb to Jean-Étienne Tremblay 20 minutes later to help beat out the Bandits 38-31. Callum Johnson, continuing on his MVP campaign, set a new league record with 461 yards passing, and has scored 17 touchdowns in the last 4 games.
- In Nashville, the Tuts were trying to salvage their season as they faced the scrappy Easton Bald Eagles. And when I mean scrappy, I mean scrappy. Both teams combined for 18 combined penalties during the game. Eventually in all that scrappiness, it was the Tuts that played on top with their running game. More specially, Running back rookie Bubba Deezen had his first multi-touchdown game since week 1, as Nashville ran for 145 yards total on Easton as they would win this game 28-16.
- Down in New York, the Defiant were having a lil bit of trouble after going to a good stretch, as they once again struggled against a California Demons team that they should have probably beaten. New York QB Adrie Dawkins was particularly bad this game, making 40% of his throws for 106 yards. Not to help also, NYD safety Wilmer Wade suffered a dislocated knee that will probably miss a month of play. Things seemed it would turn alright for the Defiant, until the Demons managed to come from behind with a game winning drive, getting the field goal after receiving the ball with 100 seconds left. The demons won 19-16.
- It was a rematch in Grand Rapids, as Miami was trying to win once more against the Dragons as the game bizarrely…would only get exciting until the fourth quarter.( Grand Rapids led 7-3 after 3 quarters).Miami QB Raoul Fernandez was removed from the game at the half against a rough sack, as the game was in the hands of Drew Dillinger. Stephen Stovall had 5 tackles for a loss, the most so far this season. So, that fourth quarter? Here it is in a nutshell: Grand Rapids scored and had a pick six within 40 seconds at the end of the fourth quarter to take a 10 point lead, and then Miami scored twice with less than a minute to go (touchdown, onside kick recovery, 52 yard touchdown throw) for the win. That escalated quickly. Miami wins 24-20.
- In Richmond, the Flames were trying to retain the magic they had last week after nearly beating The Blues, as they faced Colorado. Darnell Paige for the Flames had the offense on his back for his team, as he scrambled for a 73 yard rushing TD, which was the third longest TD rush by a QB in league history. And it came at the very end of the game as Colorado led 30-20. Then onside kick! The flames recovered! Then another touchdown! And a 2 point conversion is good! 30-28 Colorado with 35 seconds left in the game! Richmond fans believed it till the very end…..but alas, they could not get a second onside kick. The Crushers won a 30-28 heartbreaker. Even in victory, you could see Colorado rookie Jeordie Khalil being a little disappointed on the bench, as he had been trying to get that elusive first TD of his career since the start of the season. Keep working kid.

Caryn Becker was 26/29 on her throws, being nearly perfect and just like that, the Renegades won 7 straight after starting the season 2-3. Watch out UFFL. North Florida wins 26-13.
