The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to run the football.

There’s no secret here, it’s what they do.

Bombers running back Andrew Harris is leading the CFL in rushing yards, and quarterback Chris Streveler has the sixth-most.

They’ll throw in a running play using the likes of Nic Demski or Lucky Whitehead every once in a while, too.

The Calgary Stampeders are well aware of how dangerous the Bombers’ multi-headed rushing attack can be and they know that stopping their guests when they pound the ball on the ground Saturday night at McMahon Stadium won’t be easy.

Defensive line coach Corey Mace, though, laid out what he wants from his players in the simplest of terms.

“Whoever has (the ball), get there as quick as freaking possible,” Mace said. “Everybody talks about Andrew Harris and obviously he’s a heck of a back. Demski’s dangerous, he’s got some carries and then you’ve got a third back there with Streveler. He does a lot of dangerous things and he has his whole career.
