Nick Hill passed for 331 yards and eight touchdowns to lead the Orlando Predators to victory over the Utah Blaze on Saturday night at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.
Hill spread the wealth as TT Toliver and Robert Quiroga each caught three touchdown passes and Bobby Sippio had two. The three receivers accounted for all 24 completions from Hill.
Former Utah Ute Tommy Grady also threw for eight touchdowns for Utah, completing 31 of his 49 attempts for 318 yards.
Ernest Pierce and Aaron Boone each caught 12 passes from Grady. Boone scored on six of his receptions. Pierce scored one touchdown and Aaron LeSue scored on his only reception.
But Grady also was picked off three times by the Predators' Rayshaun Kizer. Kizer returned one for a touchdown.
The win improved Orlando to 2-0 and Utah dropped to 1-1. The Blaze will return to action on Thursday, playing host to Dallas at EnergySolutions Arena.
