Running Back #25 Cade Martin completed the night with 284 rushing yards.

"The Offensive Line dominated for a second game in a row. They set the tone and led the team to 350 yards rushing. Cade Martin had a huge game, rushing for 284 yards. Luke Kelly and Ogden York complimented him in the rushing game to propel the team to a 2-0 to start on the season," explained Head Coach Chase Ritter. "The defense stepped up once again to only allow one touchdown. The aggressiveness of the defense forced three turnovers, two of which were interceptions by Drew Shrader. The team continues to grow more confident and looks to build on its success."

Sophomore Luke Kelly ended the game with 21 yards rushing and Ogden York, a freshman, had a total of 56 yards rushing.
