According to head coach Frank Tristan , the Scots have one key play-maker, “ Michael Bowles is number three in the country in rushing.  Against Morthland College, he had over 250 yards rushing.  Containing him will be one of our biggest goals of the game.  We’ve put in a few different schemes in order to stop the run.”

Last week against Bacone, Lyon had the lead going into halftime.  The Warriors came back and ended up defeating Lyon, 34-21.

A week before against Morthland College, Lyon was able to put up 63 points.  LC beat Morthland 63-26.
