The Orlando Apollos remain undefeated with their 31-14 win over the Birmingham Iron on Saturday. Led by cornerback Keith Reaser, Orlando's defense sent starting signal-caller Luis Perez to the bench just seven passes and four yards into the contest and held Trent Richardson to just 21 yards on eight carries. Reaser's pick-six along with Garrett Gilbert‘s two scores through the air were too much for 27-year-old backup Keith Price & Co. to overcome.
