The Red Raiders and Wildcats met in the regular-season this Friday, 5 September 2026, and the result told the story straight away. The home side won 33 to 10, a margin that left little room for debate about who controlled the game. By then, anyone watching knew the visitors had nothing to offer beyond the first quarter.
Thirty-three points on the board for the hosts is not a number you see every week, and ten for the away team suggests they found no answer to what came their way. The scoreline does not lie — it was never close, and it was never going to be. And here's the thing: when a team concedes three touchdowns in a half, the rest of the match is just formality.
The Wildcats had come off a loss to the Cardinals on 29 August, falling 21 to 14 on that occasion. So they arrived with a fresh defeat still fresh in memory, and this result only deepened the problem. They have not won since, and the gap between them and the Red Raiders widened further tonight.
What stands out is not just the points on the board but the way the home side built them. The visitors never got going, never settled into any rhythm, and eventually gave up trying. To be fair, the Red Raiders did not need to do anything special — the Wildcats handed them the game piece by piece.
The final tally of 33 to 10 means the Red Raiders now sit comfortably above where the Wildcats are, and the difference in form could not be clearer. One side is finding its feet; the other is searching for answers. The regular-season is long, but tonight's result will not be forgotten easily.
