Davenport came into Friday's game looking for another win against Forest, but Keziyrehun Rivers wouldn't allow it. The Wildcats secured a 28-24 W over the Broncos on Friday for which the team can thank Rivers, who rushed for 141 yards and one TD. He is becoming a predictor of Forest's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).

The victory made it two in a row for Forest and bumps their season record up to 5-3. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 24 points in those games.
