In last weeks loss, Dawgz WR Al Hunt continued to show off his versatility, catching 2 TDs, running for one, and passing for another. Hunt became the first player in af2 history to eclipse the 1,200 point mark in a career and stretched his lead as the af2's all-time leading scorer (1,204 points). WR Craig Fulton Jr. also had a big game with 13 catches for 154 yards and 7 kick returns for 158 yards.
Saturday's game against the Twisters will be the Dawgz third game in twelve days and their fourth game against a top five ranked opponent in their last five games. The Twisters have arguably the best QB/WR tandem in the league with Kyle Rowley and Rod Harper. In last weeks 82-59 rout over the Corpus Christi Sharks, Rowley completed 24 of 30 passes for 407 yards and 10 TDs, while Harper had 14 catches for 275 yards and 7 TDs. The outstanding game by both players earned them Co-Russell Offensive Player of the Week Honors.
