Recap

It was the Pete Bruschi show in Grand Rapids Monday. Bruschi carried the Renegades with 260 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a 40-17 victory.

Bruschi broke 16 tackles and looked unstoppable for the third straight week. Bruschi had over 150 yards in both of Oklahoma City’s preseason games as well.

Early in the second quarter, it was a completly different game. While Bruschi had already hammered in two of his three scores, the Rollers offense was hanging right with OKC. Trailing 17-14, the Rollers were driving inside Renegade territory when quarterback Rocco Marconi committed the only turnover of the game, an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Oklahoma City took control after that.

The Rollers trailed 31-17 in the fourth quarter with a chance to cut it to 11. Grand Rapids missed the field goal than turned it over on downs on their next possesion.

Oklahoma City had six sacks in the win and did not commit a turnover offensively. The Renegades dumped 40 points on Grand Rapids, a new league record, while only passing 17 times and targeting main receiver David Wagstaff just four times. Grand Rapids has given up 40 points or more in all three of the team’s games (2 preseason, 1 regular season).

Linebacker Ted Killings led the Renegades with 14 tackles, 2 for loss. Running back David Badha was upstaged by Bruschi despite 144 rush yds. Oklahoma City (1-0) faces Dallas (1-0) Satuday.
