Brahmas pounce on Cougars Football wins after being led by strong running game

Pierce, accounting for 147 yards and a touchdown on only 13 attempts.

“I’m just trying to find a way to finish all my runs,” said Howard. “The offensive line was able to open creases for me.”

Howard got off to a fast start; including a 59-yard run on the first drive of the game, however, Pierce was unable to find the end-zone, but went up 3-0.

L.A. Southwest responded with a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Winfred Roberson and a two-point conversion to put The Cougars up 8-3.

The Brahmas would respond with two consecutive touchdown passes to put The Brahmas up 17-11, after a late Southwest field goal, in a gritty first half.

The start of the 3rd quarter was ugly for The Brahma offense as they failed to capitalize on good field position. Smith was sacked

Keiotey Stenhouse (4) runs the ball down the field during the game against quarterback Sean Smith, who threw for 109 yards and went 7-19 on passing attempts, however, he did throw three touchdown passes.

The Brahmas pulled away from the L.A. Southwest Cougars, carried mostly by running back Calvin Howard.

“We just got to focus. I feel like at practice no one is really focused… like they say they are and whatever, but they’re not.” said Smith. “Everyone can get better, there’s alway room for improvement. We need to come out with a focus instead of fooling around.

Despite Smith never really finding his rhythm, he made good decisions and did not turn the ball over, after throwing 2 interceptions last week. Smith said that he thought his play wasn’t one of his better performances.

Penalties on Pierce have become the storyline of the season as The Brahma’s were flagged a whopping 16 times for 132 yards on the night. The penalties prevented Pierce from scoring multiple times and made the game much more difficult than it should’ve been as The Brahmas continue to beat themselves.

“We played a poor football game today, all-around… we played down to their level,” said Head Coach Jason Sabolic. “It’s unacceptable, moving forward we’re going to try our best to rectify it.”

Despite the bittersweet victory, the rushing attack was strong, carving out 264 yards in total rushing yards. Starting running back Calvin Howard sparked
