Pittsburgh Maulers vs. New Jersey Generals
Pitt scores the first TD!
The Maulers got on the board first thanks to a well-orchestrated drive led by Troy Williams, who connected with Isiah Hennie for an 11-yard touchdown reception.
At the end of the first quarter, the Maulers led 6-3.
A half of defense
Both teams had trouble moving the ball on offense because both defenses were on point, making big plays. First, the Maulers’ Arnold Tarpley III intercepted a pass, setting Pitt up in New Jersey’s territory.
On the ensuing Maulers offensive possession, a bad snap to Chris Blewitt resulted in the Generals regaining possession of the ball in Pittsburgh’s territory.
After a pair of field goals by both squads before the half, including this impressive 52-yard kick from Blewitt, the Maulers led the Generals 9-6 at halftime.
