Updated: Mar 11, 2021

Defenses Remain Focal Point in the Alliance League

Richardson and the Defense Hold Iron Above Commanders

February 21, 2016

Birmingham, AL - Trent Richardson and the Iron looked strong on the first drive of the afternoon as the team went right down the field that was topped off with a 9 yard touchdown run by Richardson. However, the team wasn't able to move the ball for the rest of the first half as the Commanders cashed in with two long ranged Field Goals from Kyle Brindza. With the game, 7-6, early in the third quarter, the offense once again starting churning out first downs that resulted in a five yard touchdown from Tahj Boyd to WR Kaelin Clay. Commanders' QB Brady Quinn would lead the team down the field again, but once again the team would have to settle for another Field Goal. That would be as close as the Commanders would get on the afternoon, as the game came to a 17-9 final in favor of the home team.
