About the Mount
The Mount's previous game didn't work out in their favor, coming off a 79-0 loss to Dartmouth. The Big Green took control early with a try 52 seconds into the game. Being a strong first half team, they continued to string together great plays to get themselves into the try zone. The Mountaineers displayed spurts of strong defense throughout the second half, holding them at one yard line on multiple possessions. Unfortunately, the Mountaineers were overwhelmed by strong offense too many times, allowing the Big Green to break through.
