Saginaw Sting Overcome Slow Start, Roll to Big Win
SAGINAW, MI -- It took the Saginaw Sting a little bit to get going, but once they did Chicago didn't stand a chance.
Saginaw opened the 2014 Continental Indoor Football League season on the road against the Blitz and fell into a 10-0 first-half hole, but the Sting bounced back behind a powerful offensive attack to roll Chicago 42-25 in the season opener for both teams.
Former Illinois quarterback Juice Williams got the Blitz on the board early when he connected on a 47-yard touchdown to
Julian Williams for a 7-0 lead, and Julie Harshburger knocked through a 27-yard field goal early in the second to put Chicago on top 10-0.
That's when the Sting got rolling.
AJ McKenna hooked up with Darryl Gooden for a 36-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and he connected with CJ Tarver on an 11-yard scoring strike to take a 14-10 lead into the half.
