Penn football makes statement with biggest win vs Mishawaka since 2002
Penn's dominant victory against Mishawaka was a statement by both the Kingsmen's offense and defense.
Penn football demonstrated their dominance in their season opener against Mishawaka on Friday, Aug. 28, with a staggering 49-7 victory, marking the largest margin of victory in the Backyard Brawl since 2002. Head coach Pete Riordan aimed for physicality, a goal that was clearly met. Mishawaka's offense scored 40 points in their previous game, but Penn's defense forced three turnovers and capitalized on them.
Running back Landon Hall led the charge with two touchdowns and a 38-yard pass to wide receiver Mason Biernacki. Notably, senior McKenzie Hurley had a strong game, while the defense, which lost eight starters from the previous season, was relentless, further demonstrating Penn's confidence in claiming the 6A sectional championship.
