Ganado scored on their opening possession and Holbrook struggled to a 36-16 setback. Holbrook’s offense has been hit and miss through the early part of the season but they were able to score two touchdowns, one on special teams and one with their defense.

Oberriter ran in both two-point conversion runs for the Roadrunners. Passing the ball the freshmen quarterback completed four of 12 attempts for just 28 yards, with a pair of interceptions.
