Very Unhappy Austrians
It was 28-3 Broncos late in 2nd qtr when the Raiders QB hurt his wrist & never returned. The 140#, 17-year-old backup QB played the remainder of the game. They did not score a TD with either QB. Broncos scored one & had another called back for interference on the opposite side of the field in half two.
The whole game was the first half!
The Austrian announcers spoke English - the regular play-by-play guy & he had the President of the Austrian-American Football Assoc. as the color announcer. When things went from bad to worse for the Raiders & after the game, their conversation was loaded with remarks about their "Austrian" team versus all the imports on the Swiss team. That is a fact, but one has to wonder if that subject would have been so prominent in the broadcast if the Raiders were the winner! They will get a rematch next year.
Game re-broadcast at 1:30pm on Monday afternoon. The final score on Monday will be Broncos-35 Raiders-3
