Both teams starting slow on O.....
Good inside push from Bomber D-line....
O not stretching field, yet....short pops to Demski...
Great punt from Medlock...goes out on BC 2.....
A Reilly chuck up, and blown coverage....long gain Burnham...
Another pass and blown tackling on Burnham, by Sayles and Alexander...  
Blue D makes BC settle for 3....
Why does Burnham always do this to us?
Kyrie Wilson closing nicely to the ball...against the BC running backs
Harris showing usual form in run game.....so far....
Nichols and Whitehead can't connect on the long ball
Good punt return from Nelson, gets Blue good field position....
Harris rumbles for back to back first downs....
Nichols hits Adams down to the 7...…
Nichols rolls out and finds Adams, all by himself in the end zone
Bomber OL looking pretty good here.....7-3 for good guys....
Lions take their 3rd penalty on kick returns...
Bomber D looking stout...against the run....
Reilly hits a couple of passes under pressure....
Fenner hit with a pretty tic-tac call on PI...
Nevis cleans up on sack after Jeffcoat pressure....
Sayles takes a IC....but Moes have to settle for another 3
Nichols hits Adams with perfect pass for 40....
Nichols then rears back and finds Woltarksi ..lonely, in back of end zone....
75 yd, 7 and a half minute TD drive.  Blue O in a groove...
But Rutley takes the ensuing kick....cover guys caught inside....
...and he rolls the rest of the way, for a 108 yd TD
Reilly hits Carter for the 2 point convert....
Then, 3 short passes and a Bomber PI, sets up a FG.  17-14
Bombers dominating that quarter, with nothing to show for it...
Blue running some predictable and ineffective blitzes on D
2nd half.  Reilly pass deflected by Fenner and picked off by Hecht..
….who goes down the sideline for big return, to the BC 8
Nichols looks one way, then rolls the other....finds WoltMan for the TD
3rd time a Bomber receiver is totally wide open in the money zone...
Bombers now 3 for 3 in the zone tonight.... 
Undeterred, Reilly finds Carter with long sideline pass.....past Rose 
Fenner then beaten badly on corner route for the TD
He does end up with ball off a blocked convert and gets 2 points back...
Bomber D coverage has sprung some leaks, tonight.  23-23
Bombers take 2 penalties on the KR. One a phony block call on Alexander..
Whitehead does not look like a natural at R.

Harris rolls around the end for a big gain.  OL Grey looks like the real deal...
Harris takes a screen for another first down....but Blue settle for Medlock 3
BC has 4 yds rushing....and aren't even trying it...at this stage
Harris goes over 100, on 15 yard draw.  Nichols finds Lawler for FD....
Matty hits Wolitarski ….who burrows down to goal line....
Streveler sneaks it in....33-23 for the good guys.
This guy Exume is a real ST assassin, has at least 4 tackles....
Bad punt and no yards gives the Blue good field position...
but 2nd down holding call, kills drive.
Hecht cuts under receiver in middle of field...…
...and gets pick #2, with a lateral to Gaitor to boot.....
 Bombers go into dink and dink O.....then punt
Seems like BC has about like...3 offensive plays in their playbook..
3rd and 10 Esks.  Reilly is hammered by Richardson...
….ball falls to the turf.   Game pretty over.
Harris bulls his way over the 130 mark, then adds ANOTHER 10
….to run out the clock....as I run out of gin.  33-23.
