The game was not decided until two minutes remaining when the Steelers drove the length the field for a touchdown.

Game #2 Sunday 10/11/2009

The second game of the season had the Packers playing the Raiders. The game began with both defensives stifling each other's offenses. Each team started the game with excellent defensive schemes that prevented the respective offensives to get into any rhythm. Just before halftime, the Raiders punched the ball into the end zone for the first touchdown of the game. The Packers started the second half by running the ball with Jimmy Montgomery and Dylan Judd gaining positive yardage. The offensive hit a speed bump and then had to punt. The punt resulted in pinning the Raiders deep in their own territory. Several plays later the Packer "D" stopped the Raider running back in their end zone which resulted in a safety bringing the score to 7 to 2. The remainder of the game the Packer and Raider defensives prevented any further scoring. The defense was led by the line; play of Andrew Gustaferri, Jon Licurse, Zach Allen, Ryan Smith, Greg Lethbridge, Griffen Demilt and Jake Turchin, linebackers; Dylan and Tyler Judd, and Jimmy Montgomery and safety Stefan Blaszczak. The defense was also supported by the play of NickVerga, Liam Perneri, Henry Amione, Shane Manzi, Declan Reddy, Joe Sarro, Shane Manzi and Connor O'Connel.
