Lathan, who rushed for a team-high 67 yards, scored on runs on one and 40 yards. Senior cornerback Nic Horst garnered the recognition for one of the best all-around performances of his career. Besides returning an interception 25 yards for his first-ever collegiate touchdown, Horst also knocked down another four passes and tied for second on the team in tackles with six. Junior Eric Greene made numerous tackles on the special teams unit and wound up leading the team overall by night's end with eight stops.
