The Aab 89ers (0-2) visit the Triangle Razorbacks (0-1) under the lights in Aalborg, Demark. This Saturday night game features two teams looking to their first win of the season before the leagues month long summer break that’s only two weeks away.
Fans can expect this Razorbacks team to run the ball behind a strong offensive line led by Mikkell Hansen, Mattias Stockamp, and Jawaugn Arnold. Last time out quarterback Reed Gottula’s offense featured a heavy dose of running back Mads Lorenzen. Today however, expect receiver Jeremy Cornelius to bounce back after a disappointing Danish debut and have a breakout game against this Aab secondary. The 6’2 speedster has the potential to be dynamic, off of play-action fakes in this offense.

Defensively, linebacker Kenneth Bradley arrived with little practice time and played well in his first game. Expect the Ithaca College product to feel more comfortable today in his second game with the Razorbacks. Allexsander Klose’s pass rush could have a large effect on today’s game as the lanky youngster looks to get after the 89ers quarterback. Defensive Coordinator Wojciech Andrzejczak will look to contain Shelton Eppler and a group of talented 89ers receivers.
89ers quarterback Shelton Eppler and the offense will aim to put together the pieces this week after managing only six points against the Sollerod Gold Diggers. Eppler will target Magnus Urth and Jesper Jorgensen to get the offense going. Urth has shown off reliable hands and good route running this season, look for his role in the offense to grow as he develops more chemistry with the quarterback.
AaB defensive backs Milos Ilic and Rasmus Christiansen have been standouts for the 89ers so far this season. The two will need to tackle this week as the Razorbacks will run the ball behind a strong and experienced offensive line. 89ers linebacker Tobias Fogtmann should finish the game with a full stat sheet as he looks to slow down this Razorback’s ground game. In a surprising move, coach Jones and 89ers management have brought in former Eastern Carolina defensive tackle Demage’ Bailey. Bailey started 24 games for the Pirates and recorded 48 tackles in his career. At 6’5″, 290 pounds with division one experience, Bailey’s play at the line of scrimmage could be a game changer for the 89ers.
Fans can expect another great game in Denmark as the Razorbacks look to get a win on the road, while the 89ers aim to bounce back and head toward the break with some positive momentum.
