The Green Bay Blizzard suited up as the Frozen Phoenix Saturday afternoon, donning an alter ego in collaboration with UW-Green Bay for the university's first ever football game. The Iowa Barnstormers came to town looking to avoid an 0-4 start, but it wasn't their night as Green Bay bounced back from last week's loss and piled it on, 55-19.
Green Bay got on the board first with a Demilon Brown two-yard rushing touchdown, but Iowa answered to make it 7-6 after one.
The second quarter is where it got out of hand. The Frozen Phoenix reeled off three straight scores, including a 25-yard Thompson to Isaac Ross strike, and took a 28-6 lead into the half. Iowa's offense had no answers, going 3-and-out twice and missing a pair of field goals.
The second half was more of the same. Thompson hit Brown for 45 yards and a score to open the third, and Green Bay kept the foot on the gas from there. Tevaughn Grant capped the scoring with a strip sack of Corbin, with Allen Henry recovering it for a defensive touchdown. Iowa added a couple late scores to make it look a little closer, but the final was 55-19.
Thompson finished 9-of-14 for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Brown led the ground game with 65 yards and two scores on the day. Trevon Alexander added two rushing touchdowns of his own.
The Blizzard improve to 4-1 and are back home next Friday, April 24th against the Orlando Pirates at 6pm inside the Resch Center.
