Dayton was taken down by Montgomery 47-14 in their previous matchup back in September of 2024. Thankfully for the Broncos, Reggie Williams (who rushed for 136 yards and three TDs on only ten carries, and also threw for 113 yards and one touchdown while completing 75% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time.
