garysorrell -> Las Vegas 1977 NCFL Champs (3/15/2008 2:24:09 PM)
|
In the inaugural NCFL Championship, the underdog Las
Vegas Venom, led by a Newly signed free agent
quarterback, defeated the heavily favored Birmingham
Bombers 73-12.
Las Vegas jumped out to a 17-0 lead after 1 quarter.
Jay Zavodny, the free agent QB signed at the last
minute to replace injured starter Moses Bonas, seemed
to find every wideout he looked for. They were open
often, and Zavodny hit several big plays down the
middle. HB Benton Stanek did as he has all season, and
ran the ball with power.
Birmingham, on the other hand, fell victim to their
own mistakes. Several penalties, and 2 fumbles
returned for touchdowns, put the Bombers too far back
for even their dangerous offense to mount a comeback.
MegaBack Chuck Muncie was held under 100yds, and
rarely got past the line of scrimmage as Venom
defenders were usually on him immediately.
Las Vegas did lose a starting DB and LB early in the
game, but their backups stepped in a played well
enough.
