Special teams was a major factor in the game for Reagan, racking up 13 points in total. All those points came courtesy of Jonathon Leos: he added nine points with three field goals, and another four kicking extra points.
Reagan pushed their record up to 11-0 with that win, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 42.0 points per game. As for Brandeis, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-6.
Reagan will be playing at home against East Central at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. East Central is also coming in off of a big victory, so somebody is in for a big reversal of fortune.
