Up to this point in the season, the Falcons had used a familiar script to achieve a solid 6-1 record; that is to get a couple quick scores on the board and rely on ball control and the defense to keep the opponent at arms length the rest of the way. Unfortunately, that pattern was blown up on the third play of the game when Aztec linebacker Dallas Branch made a leaping one-handed interception of a Haziiq Daniels pass and returned it to the Falcon 9 yard line. The Falcon defense stood up the Aztec offense and forced a field goal, but All-World kicker Matt Araiza converted to make it 3-0 just 2 minutes 34 seconds into the game.
