Game preview - Winnipeg Swarm (0-1) @ Saskatoon Storm (1-0)
Winnipeg comes into their second away game in a row to start the season, coming off a disappointing loss to Halifax.
Saskatoon won a hard fought battle against Montreal and are grateful to start the season with 2 home games.
The two offenses are very different stylistically, with Winnipeg relying on the arm of QB Kevin Frye (3-0-0) and a competent set of WRs including Isiah Butler (2-2-2) who was responsible for 18 of Winnipegs 26 pts vs Halifax.
Saskatoon will look to keep WPG's excellent DB's from being a factor by relying on their deception based option playbook and legs of Malachi Wilson (1-3-1).
Game Log
Saskatoons offense comes out firing while Winnipeg is stuttering a bit as they try to establish a run game. They should probably focus on trying to use their QB more as Saskatoon's D is stuffing the run. It's 22-5 at T14.
Wilson has ground WPG down, despite a hit that hurt him a bit. His physical, grinding style has taken away chances for WPGs offense to shine. It's 29-5, WPG ball on T20.
Winnipeg has a great drive late with highlight level plays including a hurdle by pole valuter Pippy - but Saskatoon gets the ball back and takes the air out of it. Saskatoon wins 34-19.
John Bray's playcalling for WPG likely to be called into question until the next game.
