The Lynx love to line up with multiple tight ends and fullbacks, putting them in motion to open up holes for the running backs. Head coach Matt Christensen and offensive coordinator Mike Zerr threw Harrisburg a curveball on Friday, Oct. 2, having quarterback Will VanLeur throw the ball 21 times in the Lynx's 38-12 win over the Tigers. "It was a great defense, linebackers and defensive line, that we played," senior wide receiver Jack Blomgren said. "We had to switch it up. It's not usually what we do but we made stuff work. It's fun for the wide receivers when we can have some fun too." VanLeur worked the short game early, but the tight ends were open on corner routes in the red zone.

Dowd finished the night with 59 yards receiving and scored his touchdown from 23 yards out, and Irey's touchdown was a 10-yard grab. The duo are usually extensions of the offensive line, but they got to get free and run some routes Friday. "It's awesome," Dowd said. "We went
