News from the Nashville Storm
9/27/2009

There’s nothing more dangerous than a home underdog, and the Indiana Warriors played like a team determined to be dangerous from the opening kickoff to the final horn on Saturday night, September 12 at Indianapolis’ Manual High School against the visiting but heavily-favored Nashville Storm. The Warriors gave the Storm a lot of anxious moments in the 60-minute game---- but in the end, the Storm’s red-zone defense and offensive firepower were too much for the Warriors to overcome, as the Storm won the contest 46-12 to remain undefeated in 2009 for at least one more week.

 

NOTES ON THE GAME:

 

  • The home-standing Warriors finished the game with 202 yards of total offense, making the Warriors the first team to gain over 200 yards against the Storm defense in the 2009 season, and only the 2nd team to break the 200 barrier against the Storm D in the last 2 seasons (the Asheville Grizzlies gained 281 yards against the Storm defense in the Storm’s 47-27 playoff victory in 2008). The Warriors also controlled the football for 63 offensive snaps against only 39 offensive snaps for the Storm. However, the Storm defense stiffened in the shadow of the Storm’s goal line, as the Storm stopped the Warriors offense without points in 4 different trips to the Storm red zone.
