Most ballers would have been shaken when on the first play of the game, the defense gives up an 80 yard touchdown. But then again, Ryan Collins is not most ballers. On his first play from scrimmage, Brooks scored to go up early 7-0. But Collins came right back and answered Brooks to bring it to 7-6 after a failed conversion attempt. The two exchanged scores and went to the end of the first quarter, tied at 14. Brooks seemed to step up his defensive intensity after taking a 21-14 lead and carrying it most of the second quarter. But Collins struck again late to make it 21-20, after another botched two point attempt. However, with less than a minute, Brooks showed his quick strike capabilities, and scored a touchdown to pull further ahead, 28-20. Collins masterfully moved the ball deep into Viking territory, using his time-outs and getting out of bounds to conserve clock. With seconds remaining Collins kicked what proved to be a significant FG.
