A slow first half opened the door for an exciting second half sparked behind Horactio Banks, who finished the contest well-over 250 yards on the ground and three touchdowns against Curie.
Robert Gregory also got in the endzone three times on his own.
"We came out flat," Banks said. "The
defense got us back on our feet, and we just needed that big
play to get us going. Once we had that, we were fine."
