A Season-Best Performance from Gio Richardson Leads Basha over Hamilton

He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 89 yards.
Hamilton had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Richardson it was a similar story. When Richardson last faced the Huskies back in October of 2023, he picked up 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
