1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
It was an exciting playoff run for the champion Arizona Outlaws, but one game in particular that stands out is the nail biter winner take all ultimus final victory. Fresh off a commanding win against divisional rival Orange County Otters, the Outlaws kept their foot on the gas scoring the games first touchdown. The Liberty would respond though with a touchdown of their own to end the quarter in a tie 7-7. Arizona would regain their lead with a quick pair of touchdowns early in the 2nd quarter. After an exchange of a few field goals Arizona ended the half up 24-13. Eager to regain some ground the Philadelphia Liberty scored a touchdown early to bring the game within 4 points. The two teams once again exchanged field goals to end the quarter. Entering the 4th and final quarter Arizona had a 27-23 lead, but the Liberty dug deep and gained their first lead of the game off a 42 yard interception to go up 30-27 with just under 8 minutes remaining. Arizona wouldn't roll over though, scoring a touchdown of their own with just 1:30 remaining in the game to regain their lead 34-30. They'd go on to win this one and claim eternal glory as the S16 champions.
3) All about the QBs
Sticking with the theme of the first task lets dive deeper in to the ultimus final game and compare the performances of Philadelphia Liberty's Adriana Falconi and Arizona Outlaw's Andrew Reese. With similar passer ratings of 80.6 and 81.2 respectively, their performances were quite similar. Falconi threw for 236 yards and a single touchdown for an average of 11.8 yards per completion. Andrew Reese on the other hand threw for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns for an average of 9.8 yards per completion. The glaring hole in his game though was his 2 interceptions, one of which nearly cost them the game as the Liberty's Richard D'Attoria was able to run it back for a go ahead touchdown with just under 8 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Falconi meanwhile was flawless, registering zero interceptions. Both of these quarterbacks are known for their throwing game as they combined for a whopping 3 yards of running across a meager 2 attempts. While both played well I have to give the edge to Andrew Reese. His 2 interceptions is hard to ignore, but his 3 touchdowns, including a clutch game winning drive with under 2 minutes left, are just too delicious.
4) Head to Head Matchups
In week 6 the Philadelphia Liberty and Arizona Outlaws met for the first time this season. They met a second time in the Ultimus final. Being in different divisions makes to difficult to really form a rivalry, but there were certainly a few matchups that stuck in peoples head as we entered the final. Raymond Vans, the league leader in sacks, was up to his usual tricks racking up 2 sacks in week 6 against Adriana Falconi. It was safe to say she had her eye on the lethal linebacker entering this one. Another would be Liberty safety Richard D'Attoria V who, much like Vans, was able to rack up a pair of sacks against Outlaws QB Andrew Reese. D'Attoria was able to fallow up on his week 6 performance piling up an insane 17 tackles and earning the defensive player of the game in a losing effort for the Liberty. Vans meanwhile was unable to do nearly as much damage to Falconi and the Liberty collecting just 1 tackle and 1 sack. In both these cases the Liberty player arguably outperformed the Outlaw player in the offensive/defensive matchup, but fortunately for Outlaw fans the surrounding cast was able to carry them to victory and championship glory.
