Pittsburgh Power & Bernard Morris Fall in Inaugural Game

Despite a gritty comeback attempted that included three onside kicks Marshall alumni Bernard Morris and the Pittsburgh Power fell to the Philadelphia Soul 58-52 in overtime Friday night. Morris had a great first half, completing 7 of 8 passes with three touchdowns. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh’s offense sputtered down the stretch. After halftime Morris threw two more touchdown passes but was also picked off three times.

In over time Pittsburgh had the ball first but Morris was intercepted by Soul defensive back Mike Brown who returned the ball for a touchdown. The interception sealed Philadelphia’s 58 – 52 victory.

For the game Morris completed 24 passes on 37 attempts for 264 yards and 5 TD’s to 3 INT’s. He also rushed for 2 yards on 4 attempts.
