Recap of Game 1: NY at Florida Tuskers

Quite frankly, the Sentinels had a pathetic debut against the Tuskers on Saturday.

The game began with a touchdown on the Sentinels' opening drive. Quinn Gray hit Craphonso Thorpe with an 11-yard TD pass, Sents led 7-0. The defense looked solid throughout the first 1 1/2 quarters, holding them scoreless until the final 4 minutes of the 2nd quarter. After a Piotr Czech 32-yard field goal, the Sents defense gave in. Former NFL starter Brooks Bollinger threw consecutive touchdowns between a Quinn Gray interception. Czech hit a 42-yard FG to end the half. Halftime score: NY: 13, FLA: 14

The Tuskers had some incredibly long drives in the 2nd half. The Sentinels offense died completely. Three unanswered touchdowns from the Tuskers, including a touchdown from former NFL star Tatum Bell, capped off a terrible start for the Sents, who did have a 10-0 lead after 1 quarter. Brooks Bollinger finished with 4 TD's. FINAL SCORE: NY: 13, FLA: 35.
