Linn-Mar flexes offensive muscles in 62-6 rout

Linn-Mar is 3-0 with its latest victory, which also showed what kind of gaudy numbers the Lions' offense is capable of producing.

Linn-Mar rolled up an amazing 626 yards of offense in a 62-6 shellacking of Dubuque Senior last night at Dalzell Field. Jer Garman had 100 yards rushing by his third carry and finished the night with 226 yards, all in the first half. Garman rushed for three touchdowns.

Quarterback Will Roth, whose night's work also ended at halftime, threw for 162 yards and three touchdowns. His 13-yard laser beam to Jordan Atwater gave the Lions a 48-0 lead going into the break.

Aaron Hunter caught four passes for 100 yards, and backup QB Mark Atwater rushed for 141 yards and two scores, all in the second half.

Linn-Mar accumulated 23 first downs to Senior's five.

“They're on a roll, and they're a good football team,” said Senior first-year coach Mike Wulfekuhle, whose team fell to 0-3.

Linn-Mar limited Senior to just 156 yards of offense and six first downs.
