Invaders Nation

The Invaders, traveling with only 10 players, opened the 2007 USFTL Nationals with a victory over the Desperados of Tampa, Florida.  The Invaders received the ball first and never looked back.  On the first play of the opening drive, QB Michael Hawkins hit WR Taurus McGhee with a 40 yard pass inside the Desperados 20 yard line.  Hawkins ended the drive with a touchdown pass to McGhee.  On the PAT, QB Jerome Pearson hit BB Cortes Brooks with a 3 yard pass to give the Invaders an 7-0 lead.  On the Desperados first possession, Invaders' CB Jonas (PeeWee) Williams picked off their first pass attempt and ran it back for a touchdown to increase the Invaders lead to 14-0.  PeeWee followed up with a touchdown reception on a pass from Pearson to lead the Invaders to a 27-6 rout of the Desperados.
