The Rage returned home for game three of the 2010 season
and played the inhospitable host to the Muck City Starrs.
And the lack of hospitality left the visiting Starrs
reeling from the fourth play of the game.
The O Rage won the coin toss and deferred to the second
half. The Starrs' went three and out on their first
possession and punted to Rage DB/PR Carlos Solomon who
rambled and wove 63 yards for the game's initial score.
Rage 7, Starrs 0 with 12:48 left in the first quarter.
The Rage "Goon Squad" Defense continued to play
aggressive football giving the Rage offense, led by FFA
Player of the Week, Kyle Israel, two more possessions in
the first quarter. With touchdown runs by RB Rashard
Slater and Levi Raines the Rage managed a 21 to 0 lead
in the first quarter.
The Rage scored twice in the second quarter on runs by
Raines and RB Jermaine Boston making the score 34 to 0
at halftime.
Given the enormous lead at halftime the Rage liberally
substituted players in the second half and managed one
more score on an 18 yard ramble by Slater and the Starrs
finally got on the board late in the fourth quarter.
Final Score Rage 41, Starrs 7.
"This is the second time this season that we've been
hampered by the [FFA Rule] running clock." commented
Rage Offensive Coordinator, Ron Scarlata about the
continuously running game clock rule when the scores get
too lopsided. "I've been on the wrong side of games when
the other team runs up the score and have no intention
of just running up a score. But when we get two
possessions in the second half, I can't sub in back ups
to give them playing time. " Scarlata went on.
Interestingly, in the first half without the running
clock the Rage offense had seven possessions; in the
second they had only two-one of which was the second
half kick off.
The Rage travel to Sebastian Saturday to visit the
Division Rival Space Coast Predators.
