CAM balances out the running and passing game quite nicely. The Cougars piled up 1,629 yards passing and 1,696 yards rushing.
Coach Bower says Lenox is well-coached, with a solid offensive line, who understands the schemes. The Tigers are a run-heavy offense with 2,459 yards rushing compared to 585-yards passing. Isaac Grundman leads the team in rushing, averaging 10.0 yards per carry for 1,123 yards and 26 touchdowns. Keigan Kitzman, 647 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Coach Bower says his ballclub must tackle well to slow down the Lenox ball carriers whose yards after contact is impressive.
