.....JR Wells fielded the opening kickoff at the 12 and returned it 35 yards out to the 47 yard line. The Saints opened the game with their trademark play, a halfback pass from Malachi DeWalt to QB Marvin Bronson. The ball was perfectly thrown down the left sideline for a 28 yard gain and only safety Brandon Haw prevented Bronson from scoring. The drive stalled with safety Brad Hippenstiel stopping DeWalt for a 5 yard gain on 3rd and 12. Larry Moody came on to attempt a 45 yard field goal but it came up short.
.....The Marauder offense took over at their own 35 and QB James Battle Jr. dropped back on first down. Saint LB Larry Logan came hard on a blitzing forcing Battle to throw blindly down the right sideline. The only player close was Saint DB Justin Kelly, who intercepted the ball about the 40 and returned it deep into Marauder territory. Battle saved the touchdown and also forced Kelly to fumble. Despite several Marauders having a clear opportunity, Kelly somehow came out of the pile with the ball. A penalty negated much of the return and the Saints took over at the Marauder 34.
.....Bronson swept around left end for 11 yards on first down. On the next play DT Roguell Blue knifed in and disrupted the timing of a Saints crossbuck, forcing the backs to collide with Bronson and knocking the ball loose. LB Mike Balogun recovered for the Marauders at their 23.
On first down DE Jackie Triplett and DT Bryan Flowers forced Battle to throw the ball away to avoid the sack. RB Alpha Lee went off right tackle only to be met by Eddie and Gabe Llamas for no gain. Bronson (6'2") had great position on Battle's 3rd down fade intended for Jerome McGee Jr. (5'7") but the pass went off his outstretched hands. The Saints mishandled the ensuing punt but the play was nullified. The Marauders punted again from their 10 and this time Bronson fair caught the ball at the 32.
.....LB Sean Chisley pressured Bronson on 3 consecutive pass plays. Haw knocked away one pass, but Saint receivers flat out dropped potential 27 and 22 yard gains on 3rd and 4th down.
The Marauders took possession at their own 32 and despite an 8 yard gain by Lee on first & 15, back to back incompletions killed the drive with Triplett pressuring Battle on 3rd & 12. A 43 yard punt out of bounds by Dred Dodge finally pushed the ball onto the Saints half of the field.
.....With the Saints starting at their own 27, DE Willie Purvis came up big for the Marauders. He sacked Bronson for a 9 yard loss on first down, and then stuffed DeWalt for loss of 4 on a 2nd down screen pass. Bronson hit Kelly on for 18 yards on 3rd down but Quinard Reed and Chisley stopped him short of the first down. Bronson's 43 yard punt was downed at the Marauder 30.
.....The Marauders disregarded their self-imposed 1 run per drive rule and handed the ball to Lee on 3 straight plays. Runs of 8, 3 and 4 yards moved the ball out near mid-field. A two yard run by Bennie Ginyard brought up 3rd and 4. Battle threw deep to #21 streaking down the right sideline behind but Marvin Bronson easily recovered and knocked the ball away.
