Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Week 2 of the GEFNFL!!

Once again the weather was perfect for a game of Friday Night Football. Teams started out with 5 v 5 then going to 6 v 6 by the second quarter when one more joined plus our camera guy. (So, we did not get video of most of the second half of the game) Teams turned out to be pretty were evenly match throughout the whole game.

Blue Team started off with the ball, putting together a nice starting drive down the field. Scoring the first touchdown of the night with a redzone pass from Nick Tehan to Omar Orozco. Red team then makes an effort on their first drive of the game to drive back down the field, only to get picked off by Omar Orozco on Blue Team in the endzone. Setting up Blue Teams next drive, with just a couple quick passes and one deep pass from Kyle Weideman to Nick Tehan for another Blue touchdown. Who made a nice juke around Red Teams safety, putting Blue Team on top.

Red Team on the next drive, determined to get on the board puts together a drive. With a couple great passes and a redzone touchdown from Tyler Jones to Rookie Bryce Davis. On the next kick off Nick Tehan receives the kick makes a backwards pass to Omar Orozco who then takes it up the sideline and makes his way up to Red Teams 15-yard line. Setting up Blue Team in great position for starting their next drive, which was a one play touchdown strike from Alex Schott to Kyle Weideman. Who just narrowly beat Red Teams corner back to make that catch.

On the next kick off Blue Team gets another good return putting them on Red Teams 20-yard line and setting them up for another touchdown pass from Tom Rodgers to Nick Tehan.

Blue Team tried to get another drive going. Drove back down the field got all the way to the redzone, only to get picked off by Tyler Jones. Red Team starting at the 10-yard line and trying to get out of the hole. Dave Torres makes one deep pass to Tyler Jones, who dodges blues corner and takes it in all the way for another Red Touchdown.

A lot of the third quarter was missed on film due to the camera crew jumping in to play to keep teams evened out. So, a lot of great plays were unfortunately missed during this quarter, however the teams were still evenly matched trading touchdown for touchdown. Including a Pick 6 from Omar Orozco, which after looking over the stats card might be the difference maker of this game.

Another notable play that happened before the camera crew went back to the sidelines; was another Blue Team touchdown pass from Alex Schott to Tom Rodgers in the back corner endzone. Players on the field swear it was in the air so long that we could have gone to a commercial break, and it would have still been in the air.

With the camera crew back on the sidelines and teams back down to 5 v 5. Red Team doesn't hesitate to drive back down the field and scoring another touchdown, with a short pitch pass from Zach Kraemer to Todd Polczynski. Blue Team then drives down the field but gets stopped on Red Teams 5-yard line on a fourth down play. Red Team starts to get a drive going back down the field, but gets picked off by Nick Tehan who almost collide with his teammate Alex Schott to get that ball. Taking it back to midfield. Setting Blue Team up in good position for a deep strike pass to Kyle Weideman. Followed by an awesome pop-up touchdown pass from Tom Rodgers to Omar Orozco who made a great effort on scouring that pass after it had popped up on him.

Red Team makes a good effort to get back down the field, only to get picked off by Nick Tehan once again. Setting Blue team up for the final drive and final touchdown of the game, which ended up being a nice rushing touchdown from Nick Tehan.
