The Los Angeles KISS will meet with the Cleveland Gladiators
on Saturday night at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Both teams have had
exact opposite starts to their season. LA started the year with a shocking
69-34 win over the Jacksonville Sharks in Week 1.
LA came back in Week 2, and
they didn’t get the same result. They got throttled by the Arizona Rattlers,
69-28. The Gladiators met the Philadelphia Soul in Week 1, they would lose
69-41 to get off to a 0-1 start. They bounced back last week against Tampa,
when they won 41-29.
After two different starts, both teams are 1-1, as they
look to move over .500. So far, LA has gotten very solid play from new
quarterback Nathan Stanley. Stanley has 545 yards and eight touchdowns this
season. Stanley has had a consistent weapon to throw to so far.
Captain Morgan
has 170 yards and five touchdowns this season. Morgan had three touchdowns in
their first game against the Sharks. Also getting off to a good start is
Brandon Collins. He has 154 yards and three touchdowns this season.
The Gladiators
had to sign a new quarterback after Chris Dieker was injured in Week 1. The replacement
was Dennis Havrilla, who had quite a debut.
He had 219 yards and five
touchdowns last week. Thyron Lewis will be the main worry for the KISS, he has
180 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Both team’s defenses have been
struggling and injured lately, so expect a high scoring game as usual. LA needs
to be more careful with the ball, and they need to limit penalties. The two
teams will meet on Saturday night on CBS Sports.
