The Eagles blew past the Mustangs 35-6. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won four games by 21 points or more so far this season.
Abilene didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Jordan Brown, Charles Meeks, and Jeremiah Collins picked up one apiece. Skyler Faimoa was another major factor on D, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.
