Last week, Wolves Head Coach Chris Dixon became the second quarterback in history to be elected to the IFL Hall of Fame (Terrance Bryant was elected in 2014). Last Saturday, Wolves quarterback "Dak" Britt produced seven touchdowns??"four passing, three rushing- in another thrilling game that came down to the wire. Though the 67-62 loss ended the Wolves three-game winning streak, hopes are high in Billings, Montana as they prepare to face the Danger Friday.
Takeaways from Saturday night's 67-62 loss to the Colorado Ice:
"Dak" Britt produced 4 touchdowns through the air and 3 touchdowns on the ground.
Julian Laing rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown while averaging an impressive 8.8 Y/A.
Demarius Washington led the Wolves with 6 receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown.
Michael Green nabbed his 7th INT of the season- ranking him No. 1 in the IFL in 2015.
?
Green has been on a dominant interception-streak for four consecutive weeks:
1 INT: 06/06/15 vs. Ice
1 INT: 05/29/15 vs. Fever
2 INT: 05/23/15 vs. Fever
1 INT: 05/16/15 vs. Axemen
On the offensive side of the ball, "Dak" Britt continues to produce touchdowns at an elite pace. After throwing four touchdowns vs. the Ice, Britt ranks in the Top-4 in touchdown-percentage.
?
Britt's 29 touchdown passes rank him fifth in the IFL this season- not bad for a quarterback who has only recently developed as the Wolves full-time starter. The more time Britt has had to learn under Coach Dixon, the greater his progression has been. He's learning from good company.
"His work ethic and his football IQ made him successful. As well as his burning desire to win not just the game, but every play!" -Heron O'Neal (Colorado Ice Head Coach)
As the Wolves prepare to face the Danger on Friday (June 12th) at the Rimrock Auto Arena, we'll see if this quarterback-coach combination can close out the 2015 season with the same intensity we've seen week in and week out. Stay tuned.
