The Hartford Hurricanes made the long trip down from Vermont to Baker street, it must have been a long bus ride back.
The first drive of the first quarter looked like the Knights were in for a tight game, but a red zone stop quickly turned the tides. AJ Doyle connected with Joey McCarthy on a 5o yard completion to set up a Keshaudus Spence touchdown run. In the second quarter Kashaudus would make his presence felt with a fumble recovery and yet another touchdown run to put the Knights in front 14-0 heading into halftime. The second half spelled doom for Hartford as an offensive eruption was waiting for them. William Earl started off the scoring with a 40 yard touchdown run. AJ Doyle had a touchdown run and would later connect with Chinedu Chukwu on a screen pass for a touchdown at the end of the third quarter. Nolan Powers was the highlight of the fourth quarter with a touchdown run, and would later break a 47 yard run which would be the Knights last big play of the night.
Heading into the bye week the Knights are in great position to make a deep postseason run. Hartford was the Vermont state champion and the Knights passed their test with flying colors. There is a lot of time left and it's far too early to start making predictions but if the Knights keep playing with this tenacity and hunger it is possible that CM will be making an addition to the football banner on the wall.
