The Condor was tearing up the box score with 10 total tackles, four tackles for loss, a sack and a pass deflection on the day. The defense also received contributions from second-year cornerback Jakorian Bennett, who finished with two pass deflections.
It was a different story on the offensive side of the ball. Gardner Minshew II was sacked three times in the first half and threw an interception to Marlon Humphrey. The offense also struggled to get the run game going. Zamir White finishing Sunday as the team’s leading rusher with 24 yards on nine carries.
The Silver and Black got six points from kicker Daniel Carlson as he knocked in two field goals over 50 yards.
