Radford started the season off with a bang, roaring past visiting Castle, 44-20, Friday night at John E. Velasco Stadium.
Running back Colby Burgess led the way for the Rams running for 201 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries. He scored on runs of 39, 53, and 73 yards.
Quarterback Jordan Rodriguez completed just four passes for 75 yards, but two of them went for scores. His 6-yard scoring pass to Moshe Bryant open the scoring in the second quarter and his 50-yard strike to Asher Strain provided the final points of the night for the Rams.
Defensive back Brandon Rodriguez was also solid with a 25-yard interception return for a score.
Mason Ohta caught eight passes for 83 yards and a TD pass from two different quarterbacks to lead the Knights in the loss.
