Could use a stop on D.  Bighill provides one.
Bombers finally move the ball a bit...
...but a penalty and 2 incomplete passes set up a...
...wait for it - 59 yd FG attempt, for some reason or another ...
Streveler still giving it the ole college try...O marches downfield..
...right to the 5.  Offside and two incomplete, put paid to that..
Inept end to inept performance.  31-17
Somehow feels like 310-17.  
Streveler played hard, but like Nichols....
...is currently expected to outscore the Richie Hall D.
Just not enough from a number of Bomber vet players...
Just not enough gin to cover for it.

indifferent Bomber tackling,

same old story there. 

I expect that there's going to be some strong pressure from above concerning the defence.
