Game Summary/Box Score
May 13, 2006 Utah Heat at Idaho Matadors @ Kuna Middle School
UTAH HEAT 21 IDAHO
MATADORS 0
KUNA – After being ranked dead last in
the pre-season rankings and losing their first three games by a combined margin
of 85-12, the Utah Heat continued to rebound sharply with their second straight
victory, a convincing 21-0 shutout on the road of the tail-spinning Idaho
Matadors in Kuna, Idaho.
Although only gaining 167
total net yards, the Heat took full advantage of all of them and an
opportunistic defense that forced three key turnovers, including recovering a
fumble on the Matador 5-yard line midway through the first quarter that set up
their first touchdown, a 1-yard Peaua Lapale run. The only pass the Heat would complete all game, in only 8
attempts, was a 20-yard Troy Ataata to Brian Simmons connection later in the
second quarter that gave the Heat a 13-0 halftime margin.
Dannon Handcuff would add
the final 8 in the 3rd quarter with 17 of his 48 rushing yards on a
touchdown scamper and ran in the two points to account for the balance of the
scoring.
Benny Mafi had a great game
on defense, recording 6-1/2 tackles and getting in to the Matador backfield
early and often, recording 3 quarterback sacks on the game. The Heat defense
has been slowly rounding into one of the finest units in the RMFL and will get
a big test in their next game against a hungry Utah Wolverine team hungry for a
win. The Wolverines defeated the Heat
in the opening game of the season by a 17-0 score.
A player that had been
languishing much of the season as the Matadors 4th string
quarterback, Jarod Briggs played well for the losing team in relief of James
Clumpf, completing 6 of 8 passes for 93 yards and no interceptions for the
afternoon.
