Week 6 - 1983: Oakland Invaders vs Boston Breakers w/Bonus Coverage

<p>1983 Week 6 - Sunday, April 10, 1983 Attendance: 7,984 &nbsp;TV: ABC &nbsp;</p> <p>[NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis forward the video to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAjjcWfiw8&amp;list=PLEeeMV4YOSttpcyCz6-LY06IvShbgAh2p&amp;index=10&amp;t=360s">6:00</a> minute mark where kickoff starts. &nbsp;Also since this game was a blowout the network ABC with a few minutes left switched to the Birmingham vs Chicago game for bonus coverage. Unfortunately the video received didn't have all of the last minutes of the game]. &nbsp;</p> <p>Ted Torosion rambled for two touchdowns through the wind and rain after an interception and fumble recovery by Oakland as the Invaders snapped the Boston Breakers' four-game winning streak. &nbsp;Richard Crump put the Breakers, 4-2, ahead 7-0 early in the second quarter with a 1-yard plunge before Torosion got his first touchdown on a 2-yard run with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAjjcWfiw8&amp;list=PLEeeMV4YOSttpcyCz6-LY06IvShbgAh2p&amp;index=10&amp;t=105s">1:45</a> left in the period. Kevin Shea's extra point attempt was blocked, leaving Boston ahead 7-6. &nbsp;Torosion's touchdown climaxed an 80-yard march started by Derrick Martin's interception in the end zone of Johnnie Walton's pass. &nbsp;Crump's fumble on Boston's first play after the kickoff was recovered by Matt Elisara at the Boston 22-yard line. Five plays later Shea connected on a 28-yard field goal to give Oakland, 3-3, the lead for good, 9-7, as time ran out in the first half. &nbsp;QB Fred Besana throws his first interception in nearly a month, setting a USFL-record for most consecutive passes without a pick (135 attempts). &nbsp;The miscue proves to be of little consequence as the Invaders roll over the Boston Breakers, 26-7, at Nickerson Field.</p>
