Game summary
First Quarter
Ultimus Bowl VIII started off with a bang as New Orleans Second Line received the kickoff and immediately started with an 87 return. Their offence started off at the Yellowknife Wraiths 12 yard line. Unfortunately the offence completely bungled the opportunity going three and out and kicker Peg Leg proceeded to miss the 24 yard chip shot. The team exchanged a few punts but the Second Line managed to put together a long drive, striking first in Ultimus Bowl 8 by kicking a 45 yard field goal. The Wraiths responded by a long 93 yard drive, ending with a 4 yard rushing touchdown by Robby Rainey with 6 seconds to go in the first quarter. The quarter ended with the Wraiths leading 7-3.
Second Quarter
The Wraiths continued to score as Rainey ran for another touchdown, this time from 2 yard to give the Wraiths a commanding 14-3 lead. Borkus Maximus led the Second Line down the field in response, throwing a touchdown to Evans, his favourite redzone target. The score was 14-10 for the Wraiths as the game moved into halftime.
Third Quarter
The 2nd half started much like the first half, with a big return. This time it was Dermot Lavelle with a huge 49 yard return to start the Wraiths in Second Line territory. Three quick passing plays later, the Wraiths ending up capitalizing with a touchdown from Matt Akselsen to Kennedy to give the Wraiths a 21-10 lead. Later in the quarter Maximus was intercepted in Second Line territory to give the Wraiths the ball at the 25 yard line. The Wraiths managed a field goal and the quarter ended with the Second Line in a huge 24-10 hole going into the last quarter of the Ultimus Bowl.
