Quarterback Nick Davila earned the Under Armour Offensive Player of the Week award in that game completing 23 of 33 passes for 289 yards, nine touchdowns, and no turnovers. Wide receiver Rod Windsor also stood out, earning the J. Lewis Small Playmaker of the Game honors for his four touchdown receptions. • In the seven regular season games against Portland, QB Nick Davila has thrown 53 TDs to just 2 Interceptions. • The week one victory in Portland, 80-28, was the largest margin of victory in team history. • The Arizona Rattlers have the top scoring offense in the league averaging 65 points per game.

In 2015, Guy was nominated for the AFL Hall of fame and was inducted into the University of West Alabama Hall of Fame. Coaching Honors 2011 AFL Coach of the Year 2003 AF2 Coach of the Year AF2 Hall of Fame West Alabama Hall of Fame In 2014, Guy led one of the AFL’s most-storied franchises to its fourth consecutive ArenaBowl appearance and third straight world championship, a 72-32 victory over the Cleveland Gladiators. The Rattlers posted an AFL-record 14 straight victories to start the season, and ended the regular season at 15-3 and going undefeated on their home turf at Ak-Chin Field at US Airways Center. Guy’s offense in 2014 was explosive, scoring 164 touchdowns and averaging a league-leading 63.9 points per game. The Rattlers offense under Guy, was led by its opposing pass offense that threw for over 5,000 yards and averaged a staggerring 8.4 yards per attempt. In 2013, Guy led the Rattlers to its third consecutive ArenaBowl appearance and second straight world championship, a 48-39 victory over the Philadelphia Soul. The Rattlers posted a then AFL-record 18 victories (first set by the team in 2011). Under Guy, Arizona’s offense led the league in scoring with 170 touchdowns and averaging 66.8 points per game. The Rattlers also fielded one of the league’s most stingy defenses, allowing only 48.1 points per game, second to Philadelphia’s 46.6. Guy also saw eight of his players receive All-Arena honors, including two first-teamers. In 2012, Guy led Arizona to its first ArenaBowl championship in more than a decade.
