 JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK
 
 Ortiz (6-3, 255, Belhaven) gave Tampa Bay the momentum they needed
 to jumpstart the offense, scoring the first two touchdowns for the
 Storm after falling to a 10-0 deficit. After a shutout in the
 first quarter, Ortiz scored his first touchdown from a 1-yard
 carry. Less than three minutes later, Ortiz ran in 4-yard pitch
 from QB Dietz, taking a 14-10 lead. Tampa Bay would never let Alabama
 recapture the lead. In the 53-29 victory, Ortiz was also a force
 for the defense, accumulating 4.5 tackles.
 
 RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
 
 Greisen (6-3, 220, NW Missouri) exhausted the Barnstormers defense,
 pulling off a thrilling 75-67 win to clinch the Midwest Division
 for Milwaukee. Greisen?s outstanding game statistics explain why
 he is No. 1 in total offense (4,947) and total passing (4,942)
 this season, more than 100 yards over the next contender in
 each category. Against Iowa, Greisen completed 30-of-40 passes
 for eight touchdowns and a season-high 413 yards.
 
 RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
 
 Moye-Moore (6-2, 250, Maryland) had the experience the Predators
 needed to beat Oklahoma City and clinch a spot in the playoffs.
 The six-year veteran caught his second interception of the season
 at the end of the first quarter, running it back for a 13-yard touchdown.
 Moye-Moore also had a season-high nine tackles and one tackle for
 loss. Tanner Varner also had a tremendous game for the Iowa
 Barnstormers, catching an interception for a 56-yard touchdown and
 nine tackles in the night.
