2007 Columbus Destroyers season

"at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas"

The Destroyers blew a 30-point lead and lost to the Desperados earlier this season 53-51 and they lost the 2nd game in Columbus 56-47. This time, it looked as if Dallas, after a shaky start ,would continue their dominance over the Destroyers. Leading 38-28 at the half, the tide turned on back-to-back kickoffs by Columbus kicker Peter Martinez. Dallas, who had deferred, got the opening kickoff. However, the ball bounced off the goalpost and into the hands of Columbus' Josh Bush, who rolled into the endzone to make it 38-35. On the very next kickoff, a nearly identical play occurred when the ball again bounced off the goalpost and Columbus recovered at the 4-yard line. On the next play, Damien Groce ran the ball in to give Columbus a sudden 42-38 lead 58 seconds into the second half. After a Clint Dolezel interception set up a field goal for Columbus, Jason Shelley put the game away with a 28-yard reception with 12:55 left in the game to give Columbus a 2-touchdown lead that they held onto to pull off the upset against the Desperados.
