Greisen leads Force to record-setting win
Jun 25, 2007 - 1:42 AM ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Chris Greisen threw for six touchdowns as the Georgia Force posted a 68-42 victory over the New Orleans VooDoo, setting numerous Arena Football League single-season records in the process.Georgia set numerous AFL records for points scored in a season (1,007) and yards in a season (5,175) en route to becoming the first team to score 60-plus points in 10 games. Greisen's six throwing scores gave him 117 for the season, setting another AFL mark.
After Greisen connected with Chris Jackson for the only score in the opening period, the Force quarterback threw for two more touchdowns - one each to Troy Bergeron and Jackson - in a 56-point second quarter that saw Georgia take a 40-21 lead at half. The second quarter was particularly good for Bergeron, who ran back the first kick of the stanza 56 yards back for a touchdown.
The onslaught continued for the Force offense after halftime, as Greisen found Carl Morris and Jackson in the third period to extend the lead to 54-28 entering the final period.
Georgia (14-2) became the first team to finish with a perfect 8-0 record against Southern Division opponents and will host a divisional round playoff on July 8. New Orleans (5-11) snapped a 1-3 stretch in which every game was played within six points.
