Vipers Dismantle Dawgz

Tennessee Valley fans are ecstatic right now. And with good reason. Riding high on a six-game winning streak, the Vipers just scored more points on the road than in the history of the franchise. With the 77-37 win over the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz, the Vipers improve to 6-3 on the season.
It did not take long for the Vipers to get into the groove as the opening kickoff was received and four plays later Kevin Eakin found Maurice Brown for the first of three touchdowns for the two on the night.
Not long after, Terrance Ford recorded a sack in the end zone of Yard Dawgz quarterback Ryan Porter resulting in a safety.
Brown and Eakin hooked up for the second time on the ensuing drive and the Vipers led 13-0 early. Alonzo Nix caught two touchdown passes on the next two drives after Oklahoma City turnovers. Brown then started the second quater with his third and final touchdown catch of the night.
Oklahoma City finally got on the board with a Porter pass to Al Hunt, but the Vipers answered with two scores before Ben Scott's 40-yard field goal sent the teams to the locker rooms with Tennessee Valley ahead 49-9.
The second half began with Demetrius Derico picking off Porter and returning his second interception of the year to the end zone.
Oklahoma City answered the score and then intercepted Eakin, but Matt Webber picked off Porter and reurned it for a touchdown.
RaJohn Myles recovered a fumble for a touchdown and Eric Scott got the opportunity to carry the ball and rushed twice for two yards and a touchdown.
Scott also recorded his 12th sack on the season during the contest. Myles got to Porter twice in the game.
The Vipers took control early and never looked back during the 40-point win. The margain of victory is the second highest in Vipers history behind a 41-point win in the af2's inaugural game in Birmingham against the other Dogs.
Lexington comes to the VBC on Friday night as they try to rebound from last week's loss to rival Louisville.
This game will be the third of four games against Midwest division opponents for the Vipers. Lexington, Louisville, Green Bay and Tennessee Valley are tied in the playoff picture with the Vipers owning the strength of schedule tie-breaker over Lexington and Louisville.
