The Utah Heat traveled down to St. George last week, and came home injured, minus a couple key players on offense and defense, and hungry to inflict the punishment that they have been known for throughout this league.
Coming into the game this Saturday at 3:30pm, the Heat might have a surprise at QB if Jeff Wissler returns to RMFL action. Wissler led the league in passing in 2007with 2848 yds passing. The Revolution have game planned for the Heat to come out running with QB/RB Levi Vagana and the versatile Devon Holbrook. Holbrook wasn’t used as much as expected against the St. George Blitz and he’s gonna be a critical part of the Heat’s offensive game plan for the stingy defense of the Revolution, under the direction of Defensive Coordinatoor Everestt Matagi. The Revolution Defense has something to prove this game as well. The defense pass rushed, contained the ‘best receiving corps in the league’ of the Shock, but did not keep QB Jordan Kjar from using his underrated scrambling skills. They look to show that they can not only bring the ‘heat’, pun intended, but contain the versatile athletes the Heat have on their offensive roster. If certain Heat players (Reno Mahe-Philadelphia Eagles) show up, padded and ready to go, expect the Revolution to have a very difficult task in containing the Heat offense. The Heat also have rostered former Arena League standout Jason Quinn ( WR), and if he plays the REV will have a challenge in containing him.
Defensively its no secret what the Heat are capable of. By stating that they bring hard hits, intensity, strength, and size, would be redundant and overused. These guys love to play year in and year out, cause they love to bring it. They wanna smack the Revolution in the mouth. The Revolution offense under the direction of Head Coach Eric Drage and captain Charlie Peterson, understand the emotion that the Heat D is gonna bring. Will the Heat be too aggressive and allow the pass heavy Revolution to spread the field and keep them honest. Or will the Heat respect the pass, and make the Revolution running attack with former college standouts, Marcus Whalen, and Jerome Bady searching for holes with FB Perry Laulu leading the way? Co-captain Hilltop Samoa was injured for the season in the first game, and although the Heat players and REV players are friends off the field, they both are gonna bring it.
That really good team from Salt Lake is going to win! Ya know the one w/ the dark helmets. they are really good and stuff……
