The Trinity University Tigers rode their defense to victory, shutting down the Washington and Lee University Generals in their second home game of the season to move to a 2-1 record. Despite possessing an offense that averaged 393 rushing yards per game, Washington and Lee found themselves at the mercy of a dominating Trinity front that allowed just 27 yards in the first half. The Tigers struggled on offense — particularly in the second half — but held their 16-point halftime score to the final whistle, enough to secure the victory.
