Leakey had a senior duo take command as Owen Hankins rushed for 237 yards and two TDs while picking up 11.9 yards per carry and Aden Rhiver gained 141 total yards and six touchdowns. Rhiver also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up three sacks, forcing one fumble, and making six total tackles (5.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. Aiden Hernandez got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.
