Linfield v. Western Oregon Preview

Linfield has its season opener tomorrow at Western Oregon. The Wolves are a Division II school that used to play in the same league as Linfield (NAIA).

Last season, the Wildcats thumped Western Oregon 58-17 at home. Here is Elliott's line from that game, his first as Linfield's QB:

18 for 27, 0 int, 66.7% completion, 363 yards, 5 TDS

Elliott also ran for a TD. His TD tosses included a 79-yarder to George Carter, a 75 yarder to Brandon Hazenberg, and a 52-yarder to Casey Allen.

It is important to note that Elliott ONLY PLAYED THE FIRST HALF.

Western Oregon appears to be an improved team this year based on their 35-0 defeat last week of DIII Willamette University. It will be interesting to see if their improvement coupled with home field advantage impacts Elliott's performance. We'll give a recap of tomorrow's game, including photos, next week.
