During the fourth quarter the Scottish Claymores offense and Craig Nall were looking better than in the first quarter.
Quarterback Shane Stafford from the Patriots did run for 12 yards besides completing 11 from 18 passes for 96 yards and 1 TD resulting in a fairly low rating of only 54,2, because he got intercepted twice. In fact he never made it into the NFL, but he became a star in the Arena League.
Cornerback Tony Lukins from the Oakland Raiders was able to intercept one of qb Shane Stafford`s passes and to convert it into 13 yards.
Offensive coordinator Mike Jones had brought in some highly efficient wide receivers.
