The Mustangs haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Heppner was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 305 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 170 rushing yards in seven consecutive games dating back to last season.
