The Roughriders pushed the score to 71-32 by the end of the third, a deficit the Red Hornets cut but never quite recovered from.
Houston Billeter was a one-man wrecking crew for Southwest as he threw for 285 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 57 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Southwest's defensive line and their four sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Deric Kelley and Trenton Williams who racked up all four sacks between them. Williams didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Harvard fell victim to Diller-Odell and their airtight defense on Friday. They were outmatched by the Griffin at home and fell 37-0. The Cardinals' defeat continues a trend for the squad, making it six in a row dating back to last season.
