The Oklahoma Outlaws secured a dominant 34-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers in a rainy battle at Three Rivers Stadium. Oklahoma’s defense and passing game set the tone early, with Doug Williams connecting twice with Al Williams on long touchdown strikes in the second quarter. Oklahoma took a commanding 17-0 lead before Pittsburgh responded with a Brian Sipe touchdown pass to Kirk Pendleton, but the Outlaws quickly regained control with a third touchdown before halftime, leading 24-7.
Oklahoma’s defense came up big in the second half, including a game-changing 76-yard fumble return by H. Williams to stretch the lead to 31-7. Pittsburgh struggled to establish momentum, despite Sipe’s efforts, completing 29 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns, both to Pendleton. The Maulers’ ground game, led by Mike Rozier’s 90 yards, failed to punch it into the end zone, and costly turnovers, including three fumbles, undermined their attempts to rally.
Oklahoma’s special teams and defense sealed the win in the fourth quarter with another field goal, bringing the final score to 34-14. Herrera was perfect with two field goals, while Doug Williams finished with 201 passing yards and three touchdowns. Al Williams, the game’s MVP, made the most of his three catches, racking up 100 yards and two scores. Oklahoma’s win improves their record to 3-7, while Pittsburgh falls to 5-5, continuing a streak of inconsistent performances.
