20, 16, 11. With 1:52 left in the game against Oakland, Booker made all the plays to lead his Stallions to the 5-3 mark on the season. He was masterful in running the two minute offense and got his team in position for the win. "This is way we went with Nigel," said Coach Pearson, "He knows how to make plays."
He just that with a huge pass on first down to backup fullback Wolfe; followed with another great play to Mertz and finally looking to "Money" Gomez before calling the audibles at the line to spring both Tart and Burkhart on runs that got them the final 15 yards they needed to make the field goal.
Raymond responded to Booker's heriocs by nailing a 42-yarder that set Oakland to 0-7 on the season.
Stallions advance to 5-3 and play host to division-leading Vancouver at home next week. Snow is in the forecast which should play well to the Stallions' power running game. If the Stallions can keep Vancouver out of the air and running into Hassler, Weidner, Powe, and Gregorio, they have a good chance of upsetting Vancouver and going into their bye week at 6-3.
"No question we've got to have this game. Vancouver really made me look bad earlier this year and I'm personally looking to make sure that doesn't happen again", explained Booker. "This is personal---we're on a mission this week and I hope Vancouver brings their 'A' game to the table, " added Tart when questioned about the upcoming game.
"I'm not about to get into the business of predictions, I'll let my play speak for me", added Tart, "but let them boys in Vancouver know, especially Lauren Sleeper and Kevin Jones, know that they're coming to the Stable this time and we will protect this house!."
Hopefully the Stallions can deliver in the crunch and go into their bye week sitting at 6-3 and rest up for the final seven games.
