Underwood nearly found wide receiver Salesi Moa for a touchdown, but the pass fell incomplete and the Maize Team’s opening possession came to an end.
The Blue Team’s opening play was a four-yard rush from running back Jordan Marshall. Later in the first quarter, the defensive line started to make an impact as edge rushers Dominic Nichols and Nate Marshall created pressure on consecutive plays. Nichols had a pair of quarterback pressures, while Marshall was credited with a sack.
