Tucson snaps a three-game losing streak after setting a franchise record 72 points against the Northern Arizona Wranglers.
Tucson has the highest-scoring offense in the IFL. However, the Sugar Skulls' defense ranks last in the league in points allowed, often resulting in college basketball-esque scores and — all too often lately — losses.
Sugar Skulls quarterback Daquan Neal, who leads the IFL in passing yards, completed 7 of 11 passes for 156 yards and four touchdowns. Neal tacked on 36 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground. The Sugar Skulls led 28-14 midway through the first half after wide receiver Quinton Pedroza hauling in a 28-yard touchdown pass from Neal. Northern Arizona wide receiver Quentin Randolph took a jet sweep 16 yards for a touchdown to make the score 28-21. On the ensuing kickoff, Northern Arizona recovered an onside kick, the fourth Tucson has allowed over the last three weeks.
"Ain't nothing better than a win," Neal said."We've been on a losing streak — nearly a month of losing. Everybody just came out fired up and we didn't want that taste in our mouth. We lit a fire under our butt and played our tails off tonight."
