Thunder Blister Improved Kaos 41-7

     The Oklahoma Thunder improved to 2-0 in WFL play saturday night by crushing an improved Kansas Kaos squad 41-6 at S.E. Williams stadium in Tulsa, Ok.   

 Thunder Crush Wolverines 57-0

       The Oklahoma Thunder opened the 2010 season with a 57-0 shut out Saturday night in Oklahoma City. The Thunder rode a stiff defense and spectacular special teams play to another ho-hum blow out victory. The first year Wolverines played hard but were no mach for the two time WFL champs.

       B.J. Tiger had a solid debut as the Thunder quarterback with 325 yds and 4 tds on the night. The first year QB did have to work off the rust after a 3 year layoff and it showed at times. The Oklahoma State product missed on some gimme throws and had two passes tipped that led to interceptions. Over all, the "rookie" had a good night flashing the talent that made him a star at Tulsa Booker T. Washington and Oklahoma State.

       Thunder coach Bruce Madden seemed pleased with his QB " Tiger did some good things tonight. You could tell he has some rust to shake off yet, but he was the least of our problems tonight" when questioned on what problems he was referring to, the third year head man said "We just have some guys that think we can live off of the last two years. We need to remember this is a new year and nobody is going to lay down for us because of who we are. We need to remember what makes this eam special."

        Tiger was not the only impressive debut as Eli Kennard led the team in rushing and flashed some nice moves in his debut with the Thunder. Marcus Pugh also flashed at reciever in his debut. Defensively Quincy Myles and Aaron Littrell made impressive debuts for a Thunder defensive line that had a team and WFL record twelve sacks.

       The usual suspects were about as well. Prentiss Elliott, Michael Swalley, Keith Marshall, and Mike Brown all showed why they were 2009 MLFN All-Americans. Elliott electrified the crowd with a 79 yard punt return in the fourth quarter that was the stuff of legend.

       The Thunder set another team and league mark when Quito Lightbourne returned a fourth quarter pick 106 yards for a touchdown to close out the scoring.
