Bombers’ quarterback Chris Coffin started out hot and never cooled, leading his team to a 49-7 victory over the Beef at Bicentennial Arena in Salina, Kansas.<\/p>\n

The early season MVP favorite and former Beef quarterback remained hot against Omaha, after garnering\u00a0CIF Player of the Week honors for his performance at The Slaughterhouse two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

What Coffin started, the Bombers defense finished. After giving up 33 points in their first meeting, the Bombers adjusted their defensive strategy. They shutdown the Beef running game<\/a> early, forced the offensive into predicable passing situations, and blitzed unceasingly for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

Coffin completed 15 of 29 passes for 252 yards\u00a0<\/span>for five touchdowns and rushed for another as the Bombers took command of the game immediately.<\/p>\n

Salina scored on the first drive of the game and never looked back. The Bombers would build the lead to 19-0 before Omaha scored their first and only touchdown at the 10:29 mark of the second quarter.<\/p>\n

A 13-yard touchdown run by Coffin started the scoring, and a failed extra point attempt gave the Bombers a 6-0 lead.<\/p>\n

After a short completion by Beef quarterback Chuck Wright to Brandon Kinnie, Wright’s next pass attempt was intercepted in the Salina endzone by DeWayne Autrey<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Beef defense held the Bombers<\/a> to a three and out, blocked the ensuing 57-yard field goal attempt, and successfully recovered the ball at the Salina 8-yard line.<\/p>\n

The drive started out with a 6-yard run by Travis Ribbing, who powered the ball down to the Salina 2. But after a 4-yard loss on a rushing attempt, and an incomplete pass to Kinnie, the drive stalled and culminated in a 21-yard missed field goal.<\/p>\n

Salina took advantage immediately, scoring two plays later on a 45-yard hookup from Coffin to wide receiver Jared Elmore, giving the Bombers a 13-0 lead with 6:46 remaining in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

The Beef offense took possession at their own 16-yard line and responded with their second best drive of the game, a seven-play effort\u00a0that ended on the Salina 15-yard line via\u00a0failed fourth down conversion.<\/p>\n

But just five plays later, Coffin found running back Jeff Mack for a 4-yard score, pushing the Salina lead to 19-0.<\/p>\n

At that point, the Beef made a switch at the quarterback position that immediately paid dividends. Tyrell Houghton, a rookie out of Elizabeth City State who signed with the Beef earlier in the week, led a four-play drive, that was capped off by his own\u00a05-yard TD run, cutting the score to 19-7 Bombers.<\/p>\n

The ensuing Beef kickoff went out of bounds and gave the Bombers possession at the Omaha 23-yard line, which QB Coffin promptly converted into a 21-yard touchdown pass to former Beef wide receiver O.J. Simpson, upping the Bombers lead to 26-7.<\/p>\n

After a Houghton pass was picked of by Isiah\u00a0<\/span>Barfield, Coffin connected with Elmore again for a touchdown, this time for 5-yards, that pushed the Salina lead to 33-7 with 4:57 remaining in the half.<\/p>\n

A failed Omaha drive gave way to an eventual 2nd-and-goal for the Bombers from the Omaha 13-yard line, where a Coffin pass was intercepted in the endzone by Beef defender James Patterson.<\/p>\n

The glory was short-lived, as Beef quarterback Houghton was sacked in the endzone for a safety three plays later, making the score 35-7 as the teams entered halftime.<\/p>\n

The 3rd quarter featured three\u00a0Beef<\/a> drives – two that ended in missed field goals and one that ended in a failed fourth down conversion. The Bombers two third quarter drives resulted in a 20-yard TD run by running back Quentin\u00a0Benning and a missed 26-yard field goal, increasing the Bombers’ lead to 42-7 at the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The final touchdown of the game was an 11-yard pass from Coffin to Jeff Mack, his second of the game, with 7:12 remaining.<\/p>\n

It was the second victory over Omaha in 14 days for the Bombers, who improved to 4-1, while the Beef fell to 0-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next week, The Beef travel to Wichita to face the Force on Friday, April 3rd at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sides of Beef<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Houghton’s rushing TD was the lone bright spot in an otherwise rough outing\u00a0for Beef quarterbacks, as they\u00a0completed just 12 of 26 passes for 50 yards with two interceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0In two games versus the Bombers, the Beef committed 7 turnovers while forcing a single interception.<\/p>\n

– Jesse Robertson led the Beef with 7 tackles. Through four games, he leads the Beef in tackles (38), tackles for loss (5.0) and sacks (2.0).<\/p>\n

–\u00a0The Beef rushed for 72\u00a0yards, most coming in the first half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
