Houston, TX - The defenses proved to be further along in their development than the offenses this weekend as the Houston Roughnecks edged out the Los Angeles Wildcats, 12-9.
With the game tied, 3-3, at halftime, Vince Young took the Roughnecks down to the goal line, but the Wildcats' LB Dontay Moch stopped Roughneck RB Bryce Brown on a 3rd and 1, which led Mack Brown to kick the short field goal to give his team the 6-3 lead. After exchanging another pair of Field Goals in the third quarter, the Roughnecks entered the final stanza leading, 9-6. Wildcat RB Joe McKnight reeled off a 50 yard run with 0:50 left in the game, but once again the offense couldn't punch it in, and K Corey Acosta put the game into OT.
Roughneck WR Tommy Streeter took the OT Kickoff down to the Wildcat 17 that led to K Ty Long connecting on his 4th Field Goal of the afternoon. Los Angeles would get the opportunity to match, but QB Jimmy Clausen would come up incomplete on 4th and 4. Vince Young was extremely rusty and inaccurate in his first return to action, but his team got the job done.
