The offense continued into the second half on Seguin’s first drive of the third quarter. A 5-play, 72-yard drive was capped off by a 17-yard run by Gordon. The big play came on a 41-yard run from March to the Wyatt 28.
A bad snap on Wyatt put the ball at the 1 for Seguin and Gordon scored to make it 62-0 with four minutes left in the third.
Gordon added his third rushing TD in as many carries from 9 yards out for a 70-point lead in the fourth quarter.
