Barnstormers rough up Rush

Posted May 15, 2010 11:00 pm

It was an unpleasant homecoming for the Chicago Rush on Saturday night as it dropped its second straight game, falling to the visiting Iowa Barnstormers 44-30 in front of 10,363 at Allstate Arena. Much like last week's loss in Milwaukee, turnovers were the story for the Rush (4-2) as it turned the ball over four times, including a career-high 3 interceptions from quarterback Russ Michna.

Iowa (3-3) scored on its opening play from scrimmage - a 48-yard pass from Ryan Vena to Errick McCown - and never trailed.

"We were just outplayed tonight," said Rush coach Mike Hohensee. "We made a lot of mistakes on offense, and you just can't win that way. We are going to go back and figure out the problem - and whether it is the players or the coaches, we will get it corrected."
