Football Game Preview: Flathead vs. Russell

Recap: C.M. Russell vs. Glacier 2017 2:19

On Friday Flathead take on Russell at Great Falls at 7:00 PM. Flathead have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

Last Friday, Flathead put the finishing touches on their 3rd blowout victory of the season. They were the clear victor by a 56-31 margin over Big Sky. No one put up better numbers for Flathead than senior Jaden Macneil, who brought his A game into the match. He threw 5 TDs and picked up 102 yards on the ground. If you haven't heard Macneil's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past seven games.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between Russell and Skyview was still a pretty decisive one as Russell wrapped it up with a 34-14 victory.

Their wins bumped Flathead to 5-2 and Russell to 2-5. The Flathead defense got after the quarterback against Big Sky to the tune of five sacks, so Russell's offensive line better have put in some good practice this past week in preparation for the matchup.
