The Washington and Lee offensive line led the way to a
record-breaking performance in the Generals' 49-14 win over
Catholic on Friday evening. The Generals amassed 604 yards of
total offense and held the ball for better than 41 of the game's 60
minutes. Additionally, W&L set a new ODAC record for
rushing yards in a game with 496 yards (previous, 483 yds by
E&H in 1998) and had three running backs eclipse the 100-yard
barrier in the contest. Six W&L rushers had at least 30
yards on the ground. The Generals scored five touchdowns via
the ground. Saturday’s effort also provided the stage
for breaking several ODAC season records, including season rushing
yards (3,008) and season rushing touchdowns (33) with two games
remaining in the regular season. The previous records were
2,740 yards (E&H in 1986) and 32 touchdowns (H-SC in 1991 and
2003).
