​
QB Joe Heismann threw for 214 yds and 2 TD`s and Mike Simmons had 92 yds rushing in the Terror`s impressive Gridiron Simulation League debut win, 34-31 versus the Wisconsin Stags.
​
It was a back and forth battle all night, with each team gaining the upper hand at various junctures of the contest.
​
With the Terror down 31-24 with 3:17 left in the 3rd quarter, Heismann hit WR Paul Samotti on a slant pattern at the Stags 24 yd line , which he took into the endzone to tie the game at 31-31.
​
Late in the 4th , Heismann hit WR SJ Brown with a deep ball over the middle on a 3rd and 11 and the ball was at the Stags 38. The drive stalled, but the Terror`s little Danish kicker, Flemming Weggerhoffer, booted the winning 55 yd field goal.
​
A very impressive win as we move on to the home opener on Sunday night against the Baltimore Bluebirds.

TERROR - 42 SAN ANTONIO - 28
IIt wasn`t looking good for the Toronto Terror last Sunday night in the home opener against Baltimore. It wasn`t looking good at all.
​
Down 28-14 entering the 3rd quarter, a couple of interceptions by Andre Coleman-Berger and Emmitt Millbarge, both returned for touchdowns, turned the tide in the Terror`s favor. " Good instinct by ACB and Milly on those picks. We worked on it a bit in practice and watched a good bit of tape this week so I think that`s what helped , " said head coach Leo Hill.
The D had tied the game at 28-28, and now it was the offense who seized the initiative. With 5:55 left in the 4th, RB Mike Simmons took a quick pitch from QB Joe Heismann and rumbled 41 yards to paydirt for a 35-28 lead they would not give up. " X man ( Xavier Young ) make the block. That`s all I needed and I was gone, " said Simmons. It was his 3rd TD of the game and sent the crowd of 269 ( social distancing in effect) into a frenzy.
​
After the game , coach Leo Hill quipped, " I don`t think they had a game plan for our black alt jerseys. We surprised them a bit I think, maybe they thought we would break out the plum unis."
​
Lets hope the white jerseys and plum pants are as lucky next week as the Terror travel to San Antonio in week 3.

This Terror team can score , plain and simple, and the San Antonio Texans felt its wrath in week 3 . Final score Terror 42 Texans - 28.
​
The result of this one for the most part never seemed in doubt, as the Terror exploded for 3 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter and never looked back.
After opening the scoring in the first on a Harvey Harris 1 yd plunge , a fumble recovery by LB Cletus Fowler on the Texans 12 yd line spelled trouble for San Antonio, as the Terror found an opportunity.
Deadly in the red zone so far this GSL season, QB Joe Heismann hit WR Ivan Gleeson in the back of the end zone for his first TD catch of the year. A stretching catch where he tiptoed and managed to scrape his cleats before touching the paint. " Great toss by Joe there and it felt good to be able to haul it in," said Gleeson.
After a 3 and out , Heismann hit SJ Brown on a perfect deep ball - an astounding 63 yd bomb that put the Terror up 21-7.
Later in the quarter a blitzing Lucius Lewis forced an errant pass and an easy pick for Craig Jefferson. With the ball at the Texans 23, Mike Simmons took the handoff and with a great block by Terry Rayglass, took it to the house. 28-7 Terror at the half.
​
The Terror received the 2nd half kickoff and didn`t waste time. Heismann completed 3 passes to Paul Samotti on the drive to take the ball to the Texans 5. On 3rd and goal , with the Texans expecting a run, Heismann hit a wide open Otto Zaychuck in the end zone for a 35-7 lead. " Joe told me to be ready and head for the post on the play action. It all seemed to work out. I could of had a sandwich and still would have caught it I was so wide open ," noted Zaychuck.
​
The Terror offense, with such a big lead let their foot off the gas a little and it almost cost them. A fumble by Simmons on his own 24 led to a Texans TD , and gave them a spark. The lead narrowed to 35-28 late in the 4th.
Simmons redeemed himself with a 43 yd scamper to put the nail in the coffin. Final 42-28.
​
Another fantastic effort as an underdog on the road. Lets see if the black and plum can bring it with a home matchup vs the 3-0 division rival Keystones next week at Rogers Centre. Expect a look at the Plum home jerseys for the first time this year.
​
Join myself and Keith Harper for the call on 920 KTOR. Fans in the USA can catch that one on KDSF with Dick Schaefer and his crew.
