Defense stepped up with a season-high four sacks and seven tackles for loss, led by Brady Pretzloff and Devin Vaught each recording eight tackles, Eli Coenen tying his career high with two sacks, and Charles Brantley forcing and recovering a fumble. Special teams added value with Rhys Dakin’s 59-yard punt and Liam Boyd’s five extra points. The night before, seven new members were inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame.
