Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.3 points per game. As for Windham, their loss dropped their record down to 4-6.
Windham might still be hurting after the 29-7 defeat they got from Portland when the teams last played back in September. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Portland's Cordell Jones, who rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. Now that Windham knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
