As the Arizona offence trotted out on to the field, excitement was high with a duel running back system of the experienced Danny Nedelko and the rookie Sherwin Blue Jr. and of course the top QB in the league. Unfortunately for Arizona the Wraiths defence was strong and managed to hold the Arizona to a three and out and a great tackle on the TE Herc Kirkby by the rookie Safety Gore Done Ram Say kept them short of the line to gain, a strong punt saw the Wraiths start their first drive of the match on there own 29 yard line.
The Wraiths offence, like the Outlaws struggled to move the ball on their first drive, thanks to a 9 yard sack by Raphael McTurtle. A great 62 yard punt by Double Doink saw the Outlaws backed up on their own 23 yard line.

And things were helped when another three and out happened. So with 8:31 the clock of the first quarter not a single first down had happened, but that was all about to change.
A 62 yard drive by Arizona would lead to the first points of the game when Louis Blondin
