Running backs Peter Watkins (senior) and Austin Robertson (junior) both ran for two touchdowns while senior quarterback Keaton Studsrud converted a 75-yard rushing touchdown. “We played really well in the first half, and we lived up to the expectations and didn’t back down. The guys that stepped in for the second half did well, too. Overall it was a great team win, and it was fun to play well in such a highly anticipated game,” senior Jack Sims said.
