Saginaw is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Brewer. Saginaw walked away with a 26-13 win over Brewer on Friday. The score was all tied up 6-6 at the break, but the Rough Riders were the (much) better team in the second half.
Saginaw's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Roman Morales, who threw for 163 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown. Another rusher making a difference was Corey Baker, who rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown.
Saginaw wouldn't let Brewer keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Saginaw can thank Sean Brown and Najae Nicholson for forcing both of them. Nicholson also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble, making nine total tackles (0.5 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Boswell couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 46-42 hit to the loss column at the hands of Braswell.
Saginaw might still be hurting after the 55-30 defeat they got from Boswell in their previous matchup back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Saginaw, Colin Dixon (who rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
