Trophy winner Rashaan Shalaam broke loose for a 39-yard first
quarter touchdown run that set the tone for Memphis’ 22-20 win
over the Thunderbolts Sunday.
A Legion Field crowd of 35,331 saw the Bolts come back from a
19-6 half time deficit, but Salaam proved too slippery for
Birmingham's’ defense. Salaam, who also scored on a 9-yard
run, rushed 27 times for 156 yards.
Memphis quarterback Marcus Crandell, briefly replaced by Jim
Druckenmiller after taking a hard hit, connected with Darryl
Hobbs on a 49-yard scoring play that gave the Maniax a 13-0
lead. Crandell completed 11 of 19 passes for 173 yards to go
with the touchdown and an interception.
Damon Gourdine caught a touchdown pass from Casey Weldon shortly
before the half to give Birmingham its first points in team
history. Former Auburn star James Bostic rumbled in from three
yards out early in the third quarter to further close the gap.
But a 32-yard field goal by Memphis’ Jeff Hall gave the Maniax
a comfortable enough cushion to secure the win.
Weldon threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Jackson to
finish the scoring.
Linebacker James Willis led the Bolts’ defense with 12
tackles. Defensive end Charles Preston contributed seven tackles
including four behind the line of scrimmage.
