Waterloo Warriors football

Welcome into the Waterloo Warriors Armchair Quarterback Podcast.

I'm your host, Luke Balch.

Okay, folks, Warriors go down to Guelph for their homecoming and unfortunately did not pull out a victory in a 47-22 loss.

Lots of positives, as we always try to find in the game.

Offense, move the ball, you know, Nick Orr, three touchdown passes.

They're coming on their own.

So, you know, this is a tough stretch of football that we talked about earlier.

Warriors got to keep positive.

The Waterloo Warriors Armchair Quarterback Podcast.

I am the host, Luke Balch.

Warriors coming off a 44-18 loss at the homecoming versus the Windsor Lancers.

And you know what? The game was a bit closer than the score indicates.

You know, we started off with a pick six, seven, nothing.

Warriors crowd going wild.

And the first quarter didn't really go as planned in which Windsor had the ball almost the entire time.

Welcome in to the Waterloo Warriors Armchair Quarterback Podcast.

I'm your host, Luke Balch.

So we have to begin by acknowledging, you know, last week we did not have a podcast episode and that was with respect to the situation that happened with the Warriors and they lost a teammate last week.

It was a very tough week for the Warriors.

For the players, the coaches, extended family, once a warrior, always a warrior.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the team, with the extended families.

We put up over 300 yards passing and really had a good hard-fought battle.

Those are the defending eights cup champs.

the final game of last week.

The Queens Gales picking up a 49-22 win over the Waterloo Warriors and weighed 700 yards and five touchdowns between two quarterbacks.

Queens Gales themselves go for 600 and 400 of those coming off the arm of Alex Breakin, who had 424 and three, to be exact, in this game.

And man, did he ever look...

And as a result, Queens went out to a 20-point lead.

So...

The Warriors played some solid football, but, I mean, this lack of a vertical passing attack, Connor, really hurt them this game, and we've kind of talked about that before.

Yes, Basilique is great, and he had a buck 40 and a touchdown in this one, but that's not a threat to take the top off of a defense and make somebody pay or respect those concepts.

He went to Waterloo.

He was Trey Ford's favorite target with the Warriors.

Second and nine from the Tycalf 54.

Kelly goes to the far side.

That's a remarkable run from Trey Ford.

The Argos were in position, just could not make the play.

23-yard touchdown for Trey Ford of Waterloo Warriors, back in

black and gold.

Yeah, certainly some growing pains maybe going forward in week one to two for Windsor here, but a hot start for the McMaster Marauders getting off to that 1-0 that they wanted.

Let's go to the Ottawa Gee-Gees and the Waterloo Warriors in Nick Orr's return to the field.

Great start for him, almost willing his team to a week one win, but those Gee-Gees, first horse out of the gate, they're starting 1-0 in 2026 this season.

Now, I know the talk is about Jansen going for a ton of yardage.
