The Raiders struggled on the offensive side of the ball in the first half and found themself down by 10 at the half. Not really sure what Coach Walls told them at the intermission, but the offense came out functioning on all cylinders in the second half.
Senior QB Matthew Webb didn’t want this to be his last game in a Raider uniform, as he accounted for five touchdowns (2 passing/3 rushing). Quentin Randolph hauled in both of Webb’s TD passes (43 & 20). On the ground, Webb went for 132 yards on 13 carries and his TD runs were from 1, 55 & 52. Hasaan Williams added a 50-yard TD run as well.
The defense did their part as well, led by Xavier Fernandez (16 tackles, 2 TFL), Thomas Leggett (14 tackles), Anthony Miller (12 tackles, TFL) and Bo Hering (11 tackles, TFL, sack). Kyle Arrasmith added 2 sacks and Luke Morton went 4-4 on XPs.
