Football Warriors win season opener, 53-37
This is an excerpt of an article originally published on the Athletics and Recreation website.
If there were fears that the Waterloo Warriors' high-powered offence might have been a one-year wonder, Tre Ford and Tyler Ternowski did a pretty decent job to alleviate them.
Ford threw six touchdown passes – including an OUA record-tying four to Ternowski – as the Warriors topped the Windsor Lancers 53-37 in their OUA regular season opener at Warrior Field on Sunday night.
"I think we jumped out to a good start," said Waterloo head coach Chris Bertoia. "Tre was going through his read progressions really well, he was lights out. And Tyler Ternowski is a special athlete. I was very proud of the guys for the offensive effort."
After platooning with Lucas McConnell a season ago, Ford, the reigning OUA and USports rookie of the year, was electric in his first career start at quarterback: the second-year pivot finished 25-28, with 463 yards and 6 TDs, while adding 58 yards and a touchdown on five rushes. Ternowski hauled in 11 passes for 289 yards and four scores, joining ten other players atop the record books for most receiving touchdowns in a single game.
"It was a team effort, it always is," said Ternowski. "We have weapons all across the board on offence, as well as our quarterback making plays with his feet and his arm. He's phenomenal."
