AFL playoffs: Blaze get knocked out
Salt Lake Tribune
While putting together their unlikely late-season run to make the Arena Football League playoffs and earn the right to host a wild card game, the Utah Blaze got more than their share of fortuitous breaks and game-swinging calls, winning six of their last seven games after a forgettable 0-9 start.

The Utah Blaze have been known for their offensive prowess in their first two seasons, pumping out record-setting seasons by their quarterbacks and receivers since opening in 2006.

What's this? Blaze may actually try to run the ball, too
Deseret News
Arena football is a pass-happy game. Running the football just isn't usually an effective way of moving the football down the field in the AFL. The running back is really more of a fourth lineman protecting the quarterback than he is a ball-carrier.

Expectations high in third season
Salt Lake Tribune
Because of his track record in Arizona, what he accomplished as a Dallas Cowboy and his penchant for talking about his players as if they are Jim Brown and his teams as if they are the 1972 Miami Dolphins, Utah Blaze coach and general manager Danny White has pretty much brought the question upon himself.
