Alexander Brandon was a one-man wrecking crew as he rushed for 195 yards and a pair of touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run. Dominick Neal-Hairston was in the mix as well, providing George Washington with one score.

The team can thank Neal-Hairston for the heroic effort on defense: he. George Washington didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.3.

George Washington's defensive line didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Leading the way was Donovan Reaves with two. George Washington received some extra help from Neal-Hairston, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Having lost for the first time this season, Lord Botetourt fell to 4-1. The loss was their first of the season.

Defeat or not, Lord Botetourt got some senior leadership from Quinten Jones and Angel Rigney. Jones gained 185 total yards, while Rigney gained 332 total yards.

George Washington wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, a 27-16 win against Fleming on the 3rd. As for Lord Botetourt, they will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Franklin County at 7:00 p.m. on the 10th. The Cavaliers will be up against the Eagles' rather soft defense (which has allowed 29.5 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
