Taking a sack from Roh....doesn't help
Constant pass rush from the Blue D....
AJ Coney returns a missed FG 65 yards.....
Demski catches his 1st as a Bomber.....
...then draws a PI call....
Medlock 45 yds, into the wind...makes 13-7
...but game really more lopsided than that..
Esks doing nothing on O....their OL getting killed....
Nichols departs....enter Alex Ross....
...who looks a little nervous in the service....
Danny O'Brian guy now the QB for Esks.......
Chris Streveler now at the controls for the Blue.
....hits Wolitarsky for first down, then Adams...
Ach du Lieber!  Augustine bust up the gut 17 yds for TD..
20-10....score starting to look....more like it.
Opo and Roh, still bringing pressure...
Ross rushing things a bit....couple of bad under throws...
2nd half....need to really peruse that ole roster sheet....
Streveler starts 2nd half at QB...scrambles for first down.
Simonise makes good leaping catch.
The toss/sweep running plays.....could use some work..
Menard-Briere guy makes it 23-10.  Two scoring drives for Streveler.
Announced crowd of 23,034.  Nice try.
Streveler throws it up for White, who wins jump ball...
...then turns on the burners and goes 85 yds for the TD
Streveler is 7 for 7 and has put 17 points up on the board
Thought Ross was supposed to be the experienced guy?
Doesn't matter which QB in for Esks....they are all getting the bum's rush.
Augustine still running hard.....guy has some pop.
Even with reserves in....Bomber D shows plenty of speed...
2nd string officials have some problems with ball placement....
2nd string scoreboard person...gives Esks a Bomber punt single..
At this point, Eskimo OL holding and tackling, all over the place..
Streveler has nice run up the middle...but doesn't protect ball - fumble.
Bomber backup OL doing pretty good work on the run game.
Everybody else getting pressure...so Trent Corney gets in on the act..
RB Thomas has some pretty good wheels...
Now DE Sam Montgomery make a couple of plays....
Menard-Briere hits a low liner to make it 33-13.
This O&S is a bit bigger that I anticipated...
So is the gin.
