Revenge with a vengeance

Bucs answer Vikings rout
By "Guy Leduc"

Regular Season 2080  - After being trounced 54-0 in week 3 at the Metrodome, the odds of having the Bucs beating the Vikings in the week 6 rematch in Tampa seemed very weak.

Well, they did. In what may be the biggest revenge win of the USAFL history, the Bucs put themselves back in the playoffs hunt with a 23-21 win.

Of course, holding the ball for more than 30 mins compared to 18 mins in the first game surely helps. Having your QB go from 31% to 57% completion rate too. And having your RB touching the ball 3 times more (23 carries compared to 8) is not neglectable.
