BOMBERS VS LOURDES PREVIEW

The Bombers are at home this Friday, taking on the 5-0 Lourdes Eagles. The Eagles bring in the second best rushing attack in the league. The Eagles top rusher with 539 yards is Griff Slightam a sophomore with a healthy 9.42 rushing average per carry. Next is junior Mckay Carstens with 344 yards and whopping 10.75 average per carry. Their QB is Mark Pagel with 277 passing yards per game. Lourdes will never throw the ball very often, they run the option offense, that means the Bombers will have to play good assignment football this week. It is a great offense, because not many teams run it. Which makes defending it a headache. The Bombers will have to read their keys, stay home and not chase. The Eagles are not to bad on defense either. Leader overall in total yards given up and the stingiest overall giving up points. Their are rated number 1 in class 3AAA state polls. The Bombers need to just go for it this game, fake punts, throw back pass on kick returns, double passes, reverses, flea flicker, throw the book at them. On defense stack the box, make them throw, go man, have everybody fill a gap, go get em. This is a game to throw the kitchen sink at them and hope it works. I don't think we can stand toe to toe with them and come out on top. They have only played two teams with winning records this year and just beat Byron by 7 points. I think this may be close  game, if the Bombers make their own breaks and catch the Eagles off guard, if they can't it may be a long night.
