The Gators had 382 yards of total offense, including 320 on the ground.

The defense gave up 221 yards of total offense, 126 coming on the ground.

Solid performance from Wisner-Pilger. The Gators played well on offense throughout the game, and well defensively the final three quarters.

Wisner-Pilger (5-1) hosts Omaha Nation (0-6) Friday night.

The Chiefs lost 80-26 at Winnebago last week.

The Gators beat the Indians 34-14 so Wisner-Pilger shouldn't have much trouble beating Omaha Nation.

It's the final home game of the regular season for Wisner-Pilger, and I'm sure the Gators want to go out there and dominate.

There's a lot at stake for Wisner-Pilger beyond this game though.

The Gators are in good position to host a first round playoff game, and are still thinking District Title given Wakefield's win at GACC last week.

The game between Wisner-Pilger and Wakefield is going to be big, and the Gators have to play well this week to gear up for it.

Wisner-Pilger is doing a lot of nice things this year, and has to get everyone some playing time Friday night.

The Gators would just assume put the Chiefs away early, and rest starters and get everyone some playing time.

It might be the last time this season the backups see a lot of action so they have to make the most of it assuming they get in.

Wisner-Pilger has to continue to do what they have done all season and pick up a big win.

This game figures to be a good game to get the seniors ample playing time and the younger players valuable experience.

The Gators are really building something special in the 8-man ranks, and have established themselves nicely as a threat in D-1.

Wisner-Pilger has to play well Friday night, but more importantly take away things from the game they can apply to the Wakefield game next week.

Another thing is the Gators can't get caught looking ahead to the Trojans.

The focus has to be on Omaha Nation.

With that said, Wisner-Pilger should roll to a big win and win relatively easily.
