SIOUX FALLS, SD - Sioux Falls jumped out to a 24-6 second quarter lead and never looked back, as it stormed to a 51-26 win over the Cedar Rapids Titans Saturday night.
The Storm, who recorded 20 first downs to the Titans' 12, led 45-12 heading into the final quarter after Melvin German III caught a 44-yard touchdown from Lorenzo Brown.
Cedar Rapids scored twice in the last 4:04 on a pair of long touchdown passes from Brion Carnes to Damond Powell. but, by then, the game was out of reach
Brown was efficient for the Storm, completing over 73 percent of his passes for three touchdowns, while also rushing for a touchdown. In all, Brown passed for 147 yards and rushed for 74. Robbie Rouse rushed 12 times for 67 yards and a score. Mike Tatum added a rushing touchdown to his five catches and 38 yards. German led all receivers with 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and Korey Williams caught three passes for 27 touchdowns and a score. Matt Hermanson and Julian Gener each had an interception and Tyler Knight led the storm with seven tackles.
Casrnes completed 50 percent of his passes for 198 yards, four touchdowns and two picks. Tre Parnalee caught five passes for 78 yards and two scores, while Powell had two receptions for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Fred Griggs led the Titans with 11 tackles, B.J. Lowery had 10 and Curtis Thomas nine.

The Titans are bad. They get blown out last week and then get blown again this week and it wouldn't surprise me if they get blown out next week. What changed from them being good last year?

As far as I can tell, QB. Dylan Favre, the nephew of Brett Favre was the starter last season. I heard Favre returned to Cedar Rapids but he's not listed on the roster. I know they went with Ex-Billings Wolves QB Cory Murphy, who did well down the stretch, but he was released after Game 1.

So I wonder if Favre is coming back, similar to what Boltus did with the Storm in the AFL last season.

So I wonder if Favre is coming back, similar to what Boltus did with the Storm in the AFL last season. I "lurked" through his Twitter. Says he's living in Georgia with his family. Maybe Cedar Rapids calls him and convinces him to come back. I'm not sure. Either way, the Titans need to figure out their QB situation before the season spins out of control. Donovan Porterie, one of the better IFL veterans at QB, might be someone they look into... if he didn't retire. Last I saw he was with the Barnstormers and then he lost his job. EDIT: He's with the Duke City Gladiators of the CIF. Maybe he gets a a promotion? Who knows.

We will have to see what happens because if they don't get things together it could be a long season for the Titans.

Highlights from the Storm's dominating win over the Titans.
Note: Mute your audio. Whoever was in charge of the feed had both the Storm and Titans announcers broadcasting over each other.
