Birmingham 0 3 7 7 17

(LAS VEGAS,NV) - Las Vegas RB David Allen scored a TD on a 34-yard run just a minute and a half into the game and kept right on rolling up the yardage, eventually rushing for 165 yards and adding two more scores to lead the Bandits to a 42-17 victory over the Birmingham Predators in the pre-season opener for both teams at Sam Boyd Stadium, saturday night.

Las Vegas scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and led 28-0 putting the game out of reach before the end of the first half. Bandits QB Ricky (Frito) Ray impressed in his new role as the team's starting QB, completing 15 of 19 passes for 123 yards and 2 TDs. Bandits second-round draft choice, DE Charles Alston of Bowie State, led the team with eight tackles while collecting four sacks in his professional debut. Fellow rookie, MLB Charles Adams, the Bandits third-round draft pick, also tallied eight tackles while CB Kevin Thomas, the second-year terr.pick from UNLV starting in place of departed free agent Corey Ivy, added six tackles and two pass deflections. Meanwhile, 2003 first-round draft choice, WR Ron Johnson caught five passes for 51 yards and a TD in the win.

For Birmingham, this game featured a contrast of styles at quarterback. Mobile veteran Jarious Jackson, attempting an SFL comeback after two seasons away from the league, completed 12 of 23 passes for 162 yards and 2 TDs, while strong-armed pocket-passer Kliff Kingsbury, the top pick overall in the SFL 2004 Draft, completed 13 of 18 passes for 150 yards in his pro debut.

Predators third-round rookie LB Mark Brown led the team with nine tackles while veteran CB Rodney Heath added eight tackles of his own. RB Rudi Johnson was held to 24 yards rushing although he did manage to snare four passes for an additional 20 yards. Third-year wideout Vinny Sutherland, the Preds top draft pick in 2002, exploded for 96 yards on four receptions. WR Freddie Milons caught six passes for 45 yards and a TD.

Las Vegas WR Marvin (Snoop) Minnis will miss the next four weeks of action due to injuries sustained in the game. Birmingham OT Joaquin Gonzales will miss the Predators pre-season game next saturday night at Legion Field vs. Memphis. 1-0 Las Vegas will travel to the Alamodome to square off against the Texas Marshals next saturday night.
