Iowa Barnstormers Score Season High in Home Opener
Barnstormers Defeat Blizzard, 75-64
Des Moines, IA – The Iowa Barnstormers (2-3) defeated the Green Bay Blizzard (2-3) 75-64 in their
home opener and in front of 6,176 fans at Wells Fargo Arena.
Getting their chance to hit the scoreboard first, the Iowa Barnstormers had the perfect sequence of
plays for the IFL home opener. The Barnstormers took the Blizzard by surprise by keeping the ball
on the ground until entering the red zone. Iowa QB Robbie Nallenweg then connected with WR Chris
Bowden in the end zone. Looking to gain an early lead, the Barnstormers would go for two. With
WR Lemans Casimier in the pocket, he found fellow receiver Brady Roland for the score. Within the
first five minutes, the Barnstormers took an 8-0 lead. Going back-and-forth, the rival Blizzard kept
up the pace. With credit to LB Austin Benson for an interception, the Barnstormers stole the ball and
snuck in to the end zone with a Nallenweg carry. A Barnstormers rouge, kick return touchdown, and
52 yard field goal rounded out an exciting first quarter for the home team. Iowa Barnstormers 32,
Green Bay Blizzard 25.
In a slower second quarter, Iowa was nearly outscored by Green Bay. Only collecting sixteen points,
the Blizzard offense narrowed the margin by tallying fifteen. Two long touchdowns from Nallenweg
to Roland kept the Barnstormers in the lead. Green Bay’s leading receiver Demarius Washington col-
lected another touchdown score while Iowa’s Benson snagged his second interception of the night.
At the half, the Barnstormers led by fourteen. Iowa Barnstormers 48, Green Bay Blizzard 34.
Coming out of the locker room, the Barnstormers stayed just out of reach. Starting with the Blizzard,
each team exchanged a pair of touchdowns. For his first touchdown of the night, receiver Johnny
Thomas scored for Iowa. A new recruit for the Barnstormers offense, running back Robbie Rouse
also tallied his first of two touchdowns for the night. Iowa Barnstormers 62, Green Bay Blizzard 48.
Although the Barnstormers held a solid lead, the team did not let their visitor get back in to the
game. Even a touchdown and two-point conversion with less than a minute left on the clock would
not be enough for the Blizzard to take the victory. At the final buzzer, Iowa Barnstormers 75, Green
Bay Blizzard 64.

were forced to step up their rushing game. Back to take the snap, running back Waymon James took
the ball to the end zone. The Barnstormers would finish the quarter with the final tally, a quarter-
back sneak by Nallenweg. Iowa Barnstormers 16, Nebraska Danger 33.
