The Green Bay Blizzard stayed perfect on the season Saturday night, rolling past the Iowa Barnstormers 50-39 at Casey's Center in Des Moines to improve to 3-0.
Green Bay came out of the gate dominant, outscoring Iowa 23-0 in the first quarter and never looking back. The Barnstormers began chipping away after the scoreless first, but Green Bay always had an answer when it mattered most.
Quarterback Liam Thompson enlisted damage through the air, finishing 10-of-18 for 140 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. His top target was Draysean Hudson, who hauled in four catches for 85 yards and a score, including a long of 40. Trevon Alexander added two catches for 30 yards and a touchdown, and Kairee Robinson reeled in a receiving score as well.
The rushing attack contributed four touchdowns on the ground, with Demilon Brown leading the way with 29 yards and a score on five carries. Alexander and Sylvere Campbell each ran for a score as well.
Iowa's Harry Roubidoux kept the Barnstormers in it with a big day airing it out, finishing 18-of-33 for 194 yards and six touchdowns, but he also made a mistake that Reggie Bracy corralled for the Blizzard turnover. Kurtis Ravenel was Roubidoux's top target with four catches for 47 yards and three scores.
Defensively, Trenton McGhee led Green Bay with nine tackles, two for loss and as a whole the team finished with seven total tackles for loss on the night. Andrew Mevis went six for seven on extra points, though he missed all three field goal attempts on the night.
The Blizzard head back out on the road next Saturday, April 11th, for a conference showdown with the Quad City Steamwheelers at Vibrant Arena at the Mark. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM CDT.
