...running game, the weaker point of the offense all season, became the focal point on Saturday and responded with a masterful performance spearheaded by sophomore Gino Gordon. Gordon finished with 39 carries for 168 yards—career highs in both—and the lone touchdown of the contest. The Crimson’s 261 rushing yards were its second-highest total of the season and roughly double the team’s 130.3 rushing yards per game average.
