Guerra produced 359 rushing yards on 35 carries (with a long of 85 yards as seen in the opening play of the highlight video above) plus 70 receiving yards on four receptions. Two of his scores came through the air.
Vela trailed 35-21 at halftime but the engine that is Guerra powered the Sabercats past Victoria East with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and two more in the overtime sessions – including the game-winner.
