25: The Thunder’s offensive total was the lowest in franchise history. The previous low: 35 in a 52-35 loss at Katy on July 28, 2007.

0-0: The scoreless first quarter was Frisco’s first scoreless quarter of the season and first since the second and third of a 52-36 loss to Corpus Christi on July 21, 2007. On the positive side, the defense registered its third scoreless period this year. This was the first time in franchise history neither team has scored in a 15-minute span.

MORRIS SCORELESS: WR Richard Morris has gone the last two games without producing a touchdown. The good news: he still leads the Intense Football League with 18 on the season.

SWEEP OR BE SWEPT: In two seasons, the Thunder has either swept a season series with an opponent or has been swept. Odessa and CenTex have done the deed to Frisco this year, but here’s the consolation. Three of the Thunder’s next four opponents have lost to Frisco earlier this season. The Thunder hasn’t faced undefeated Louisiana yet.

HOW YOU FINISH: Ricky Madison had 47 rushing yards in the first half, which would have been his season-high. However, his two carries in the second half resulted in a combined eight-yard loss, leaving him with 39 on the evening. He maintained his IFL lead for rushing touchdowns with his 11th of the season in the first half.

HOPOVAC: Dennis Hopovac posted his second straight game with two or more field goals and his fourth this season.

WELCOMED ADDITION: New Thunder RB Antwon Andrews had a strong debut, gaining 15 yards on 2 carries and returning five kickoffs for 79. Andrews started the season with San Angelo, but signed with Frisco to give the option of moving Ricky Madison to wide-out in some situations.

THAT RULE HELPS: For the second straight game, the Thunder needed to call up a reserve – Nathan Jackson was pressed to action and registered a sack.
