The Soul scored a team-record 92 points in their win over Georgia on Saturday, so getting back on the field a day sooner probably isn't bad news. It's the second time in three weeks the Soul (3-1) have set the franchise record for points in a game.
Dan Raudabaugh threw six touchdown passes, and Joe Goosby returned two interceptions for scores as the visiting Soul dismantled the Force, 92-42. The 50-point winning margin was the largest in team history.
Other Soul numbers from Saturday's romp:
Fullback Derrick Ross ran for three touchdowns and set a team record with 74 rushing yards.
Tiger Jones had 10 catches for 180 yards and three scores.
The Soul outscored Georgia, 35-21, in the second quarter.
Georgia had a nearly three-minute edge in time of possession, which tells you all you need to know about the pinball nature of Arena League football.
Raudabaugh had more touchdown passes (six) than incompletions (four).
Emery Sammons, filing in for the injured Donovan Morgan, caught the game's first touchdown. He had six catches for 85 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
