The Pioneer football team started a little slow but was able to cap off a win with a 34 point unanswered run until late in the 4th quarter where Louisville was able to make the final score Pioneers 41 Lions 28. This brings the Pioneer's record to 2-0 to begin the season where they continue to rack up points. The Pioneers are averaging 44 points per game over the span of their first to opponents. The Pioneers were able to quiet the Louisville Homecoming crowd by making 433 yards of total offense, with 386 of those yards coming on the ground. Bayler Poston went for 195 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries while MJ Nelson added 182 yards and two scores on the ground for the Pioneers. Braden Thompson added a pivotal touchdown reception in the second half and recorded an interception on defense to seal a Pioneer victory.
The Pioneer defense started a little rocky as Louisville appeared to be in control of the line of scrimmage and jumped to an early 21-7 lead. Adjustments, substitutions, and a re-energized style of play seemed to be the ticket for the Pioneers as they were able to withhold the Lion offense and begin their own offensive attack. Creating two turnovers and limiting Louisville's time of possession was key in allowing the Pioneers to find the endzone. Coach Walker commented that "...I am pleased with how our team responded to being down. We gathered ourselves, stuck to what we know we can do, and executed. It says a lot about a team that can make a comeback and then win by that margin. I am proud of our efforts and will continue to work on the little things to make us better." The Pioneers will face Omaha Concordia this Friday as their homecoming game at Pioneer Field for their first home game of the season.
