Game Summary/Box Score
May 12, 2007 Utah Heat at Muddogs @ Granger High School

UTAH HEAT 39 MUDDOGS 8

WEST VALLEY CITY – The Utah Heat continued a remarkable turnaround from their inaugural 2006 season with an overwhelming 39-8 victory over the over-matched defending AA champion, Muddogs, on the road at Granger High School in West Valley City, Utah.

The Heat amassed more than 500 total yards of offense, while holding the Muddogs to only 68 total net yards in a domination that belied the total score.

After getting a quick touchdown on a Jay Fletcher run, the Muddogs held their own for most of the nest 15 minutes of football. After the Heat scored again early in the second quarter, the score was only 14-0 until Heat quarterback, Jeff Wissler, finished of a first half ending drive with his first of 3 touchdonw passes on the day to Jeff Johnson.  Johnson would catch another in the second half and end up with 92 receiving yards and 2 scores on the day.  Fellow wide out, Brian Simmons, caught three big passes for 137 yards and another score early in the second half to give the Heat a 27-0 lead at the time.  Heat quarterback, Wissler, would continue to perform at all-star caliber levels, passing for almost 300 yards once again.

The Heat were all over the Muddog backfield, getting to Muddog passers 7 times in the game and forcing 3 turnovers to make a statement as they prepare to take on the defending champion, Rhino-Raiders in their next game on May 19th.

Sione Tuatonga lead all Heat defenders with a great evening, recording 6 tackles including 2-1/2 sacks.

Even giving up the points and high yardage total, the Muddog defense was not without success.  Lead by Kyto Khouangrasvongsay with 8 tackles and an interception, the team welcomed back Kelon Brooks, their defensive star from 2006, who also recorded 8 stops to help keep the Heat scoring to a minimum.  Further, the Muddogs forced 5 turnovers (3 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries)… keeping the turnover ratio in their favor, however, not the score.
