Shock’s Rowley benched

Head coach Rob Keefe has benched veteran quarterback Kyle Rowley and named Arena Football League rookie Bill Stull the starter against Dallas on Saturday. Rowley, who led Spokane to arena titles in 2006 and 2010, was just 19 of 44 with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Shock’s 51-41 loss to Pittsburgh last Saturday. Spokane scored only two touchdowns in the second half and finished with a season low in points.

Pittsburgh Power rout Spokane Shock in second half to win

PITTSBURGH – Spokane failed to build on the momentum of back-to-back wins over the Arena Football League’s top two ranked teams.

Spokane’s offense sputtered most of the game and the defense didn’t register a stop in the second half.
