After enduring a blow out loss from the University of Washington last week I would venture a guess that the Scarlet Knights football squad probably feels a bit relieved facing the Mid-Eastern Athletic Football Conference’s Howard University Bison.
While I encourage the RU program and fans alike to forget last week’s slaughter, let us focus on one positive: the RU defense’s ability to stop the run. Last Saturday the Huskies were only able to generate 91 yards on the ground against the Scarlet Knights with defensive backs Kiy Hester and Blessuan Austin leading the way in tackles with 8 and 6, respectively.
