This effort was punctuated by two rushing touchdowns – including one remarkable run that went for thirty-four yards straight into the end zone – contributing to six first downs on ground plays alone.


Special teams also played their part effectively; field goal kickers were perfect on the day making both attempted field goals with the longest being fifty-four yards. Kickoff units performed admirably as well with five touchbacks out of six kickoffs.
