The Austin, Texas Viper’s won their second game of the season coming off of a two game losing streak against the Salt Lake City Otters with a final score of 139.40 to 155.42.
The Vipers earned the win this week due to hardworking performances from Quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Carson Wentz , and Running back Aaron Jones.
Austin Vipers Rookie Quarterback Justin Herbert was the star of the show passing three touchdowns, one interception, and passing 290 yards adding 44.00 points to the team.
Viper’s QB Carson Wentz also helped carry the team to their first victory and built onto the team last week adding 29.42 points. With two touchdowns and an interception while rushing seven times for 37 yards, Wentz outshined QB Daniel Jones who only scored 19.10 points for the Otters.
Both teams offense played well this week; RB Mike Davis was neck and neck with Viper’s RB Aaron Jones both scoring 22.10 points for their respective teams. However, Jones rushed 15 times for 71 yards with a touchdown, being a major asset to the Viper team.
Coach Ryan was extremely pleased with the performance of his offense, especially Justin Hertz and Carson Wentz.
“We put up a good fight against the Otters and got our momentum back going into game 5. Our team is starting to play cohesively and with guys like Carson showing up, anything is possible. Going into this week’s practices we were giving it our all in preparation to play our upcoming game against the Bees.”
Moving forward into game 5, the Austin Vipers (2-2, 680.56 points) climbs into sixth place and should put up a good fight against the Harrisonburg Valley Bees.
