Several things went wrong for the Salt Lake Stallions in their loss to the Arizona Hotshots to open the inaugural season of the Alliance of American Football. They couldn’t run the football effectively. They dropped seven passes. They committed three turnovers. Their defense left something to be desired.
And to top it off, they lost their starting quarterback, Josh Woodrum, to a hamstring injury he suffered in the first half. He did not return in the second half, and the team felt his absence on the field.
“I can’t lie and said that it didn’t affect me,” Stallions offensive coordinator Tim Lappano said this week in a conference call with reporters.
