TJ Duckett scored on a 1 yard plunge (because he's too fat to dive) as time expired to lift the Norfolk Neptunes to a 34-31 win at home. With the defense keying on Frank Gore, Duckett was able to creep through the middle of the line stealing back the game from Ann Arbor which had seemingly won the game only 90 seconds earlier as Ryan Grant danced through Norfolk's goal line on a 2 yard run finishing a 15 play 80 yard drive that chewed up over 6 minutes and the home coach conceding victory....but
The Neptunes marched 80 yards with 10 plays in 75 seconds. With 2nd and 10 at the Neptune 20, Derek Anderson completed a look-in to Dwayne Bowe that gained 30 yards. Two plays later from the Avenger 45, Anderson connected w/ Bowe on a 42 yard bomb to the Ann Arbor 3 w/22 seconds left. Anderson spiked the ball. Gore lost 1 yard on a great play by Barrett Ruud. Then two conscutive penalties against Ann Arbor moved the ball to the 1 where Duckett punched it over.
The Neptunes were dominated by Ann Arbor as it cruised to a 24-7 lead, before getting up off the deck. The game featured only one turnover which led to Norfolk getting a FG taking its first lead. Norfolk runs it record to 3-1 setting up a division showdown w/ John Croyts Dagints squad. Ann Arbor (0-4) desrved a better fate.
