The Lafayette Wildcatters wrap up a two-game Georgia road trip this Saturday when they take on the Columbus Lions at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbus Civic Center.
The Wildcatters will have their work cut out for them as Columbus leads the SIFL in both scoring offense, 74 points per game, and scoring defense, 32.7 points per game.
The Lions are also number one in the SIFL in turnover margin at plus eleven after three games.
The high scoring Lion offense will be directed by former United States Naval Academy quarterback Chris McCoy.
McCoy took over the starting job when quarterback Todd Spitzer got injured in an opening week victory over the Louisiana Swashbucklers.
McCoy has proven very accurate since taking over the reins, completing 24 of 32 passes for 320 yards and seven touchdowns.
Leading the Lions receiving core is Tirone Morris who has 18 catches for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns. Gerald Gales only has 14 catches on the year, but seven have gone for touchdowns.
Defensively, the Lions are led by linebacker Ryan Babb, from Troy University, who has touchdown returns of fifty yards and ten yards.
The Wildcatters are lead by quarterback Bo Bartik who last week had a big second half — 18-of-31, four touchdowns — in the Wildcatters' loss to the Albany Panthers.
For the game Bartik was 25-of-48 for 246 yards and six touchdowns.
"The Wildcatters will have to be prepared for the Lions blitz schemes," Wildcatters coach Skip Foster said.
"Linebacker Justen Rivers stacks right behind the nose guard and tries to shoot either A gap."
Leading receivers on the season for the Wildcatters are Clyde Edwards who has 13 catches for 171 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Clarence Cotton who has 10 catches for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns.
