Fans of the Irish have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ points.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead DeSales to victory, but perhaps none more so than Cohen Wood, who rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 72 yards and a touchdown. Wood is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season. Caleb Bingham was another major influence, as he rushed for 117 yards and ran in a TD.
DeSales didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Alan Campos and Maddox Filan.
