Ben Anderson to
Satyler Wilson with 7:09 left in the second quarter. The ensuing
Caden Davis kick narrowed the gap to 13-7. The score stayed there until the Blue Raiders gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about with 24 unanswered points in the second half, anchored by a trio of rushing touchdowns.
