This Thursday’s buyout at McMaster University will feature a match-up of two top teams in Ontario. The Holy Trinity Titans and The Assumption Crusaders will face off in a rematch of the final regular season game in which HT came out on top: 29-28.

HT's KEYS TO THE GAME:

For HT the key to securing the league championship will be containing the ground game of Assumption. In the previous game between these two rivals, Assumption's run game was so dominant that the Crusaders did not throw a pass until their final possession of the game. They also will need to limit the number of turnovers as Assumption did not let these chances pass them by previously, scoring following a fumbled kickoff. On the other hand, Assumption doesn’t allow many turnovers so the Titans will have to take advantage of whatever they can get from the Crusaders.

PLAYER TO WATCH:

Look out for the quarterback, Nathan Rourke, he played a huge role in the Titans previous victory leading HT down the field to score the winning touchdown with 0:45 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. He was also a leader through the entire game keeping the team focused when the game seemed to be out of reach.

Kickoff at McMaster is at 12 noon.

GO TITANS!
