Tom Ramsey completed 17-of-24 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns as the Jacksonville Bulls topped the Arizona Wranglers, 28-21, in a Week 3 matchup at the Gator Bowl.
Andre Brown caught four balls for 146 yards for the Bulls (2-1), while Perry Kemp added six receptions for 100 yards and one touchdown. Tight end Eric Seivers also registered a touchdown catch.
Steve Slayden subbed for Ramsey after he was knocked out of the game in first quarter, and threw for 127 yards on 4-of-6 completions and a touchdown.
Todd Dillon was somewhat ineffective, throwing for 228 yards on 22-of-40 completions with two scores and a pick for the Wranglers (1-2), who fell into a four-way tie for last place in the West Division.
Gene Taylor had five receptions for 95 yards and one score, Mark Keel had six catches for 64 yards and Joe Wood made both of his field-goal attempts.
After replacing Ramsey on the teams’ first possession Slayden went to work on his first play, throwing his first touchdown pass of the season, an 85-yarder to Andre Brown for an early 7-0 lead.
After holding Arizona scoreless in the first quarter, the Bulls got the ball on the board near the end of the second quarter when Mike Rozier broke over the right side for a seven-yard touchdown run and a 14-0 lead.
Later in the quarter, Dillon hooked up with Rod Barksdale on a three-yard floater down the left side which accounted for the Wranglers' first touchdown and brought the home team within 14-7. Joe Wood hit a 38-yarder with 0:01 left in the half and the Bulls were up 14-10 at the intermission.
Working with a four-point lead after half time, the Bulls kept the pressure on and boosted their lead to 21-10 toward the end of the third quarter on Perry Kemp's 11-yard touchdown reception.
The Wranglers responded with a score on Gene Taylor's 16-yard touchdown reception with 13:18 remaining to make it 21-18.
The Bulls then sealed the victory when Tom Ramsey found Seivers from one-yard out to move Jacksonville out to a 28-18 lead with 7:39 remaining. Joe Wood made a 46-yard field goal with 4:06 to go to close out the scoring.
