EDGE blasts 6 yards up the middle on first down, looks like the Silver and Black are emphasising the run more in this, the final season of the veteran workhorse back.

EDGE first down, MAGNUM swung the ball out to him.

 

[Portis 26]

TEYO reception down the middle, what a weapon he is for us.

What a turnaround!One moment it was 24-7 and the RAIDERS were going in for another score, the next it's a whole new ballgame at 24-14 after the INT return for a TD!
