| Game 10 vs. Rome Renegades |
There was a different feel in the locker room before the
game. I wasn't really nervous at all, which is pretty unusual
for me. The locker room felt confident. The last game down
in Fayetteville was so far from the normal for us, wearing
purple jerseys and not our own equipment. I think another
big reason we were really ready for this game is that we were
playing at home for the first time in over a month. Our fans
are the greatest here and they really help out a tremendous
bit, getting loud and cheering just in the right spots.
After this game with Rome, we have 4 games left, but only
one is at home. If we take care of business we can get a
home game in the playoffs. That would be huge. Coach
Wells gave a good pre-game speech where he read parts of
Paul Daughtery's article a few days before poking fun of us.

This really helped build our excitment for the game. It was
the first real pre-game speech we had gotten since our first
game versus Beumont by Coach Biles.
Anyway, I already told you the outcome of the game we beat
Rome by 10 points. We had a really energetic game.
Everyone was bouncing off the walls during the game. That
is exactly how you have to play indoor football. You have to
play it with a lot of excitement and without hesitation. That is
exactly how we played against Rome.
It was a relatively low scoring game 43-33. Our defense
really stepped up and played a good game, anytime you can
keep a team in the 30's is a good defensive game in the NIFL.
Our passing attack was more controlled, which means I had a
higher percentage but didn't go down the field as much. I
finished 20-30 for 177 yards with 0 TDs and 0 ints.
Askew did the bulk of the scoring with 4 TDs on the ground
with 37 yards rushing. However, we started to get some
banged up bodies. Daniels our MLB got hurt in the game so
did his fellow Miamian Samuels. Jeff Jourdan didn't play
because of a sprained MCL. WR Dan Fry also got hurt
going over the wall for a deep pass.
Good win overall; next we got to St. Louis to play River City.
