Quarterback Wynter Smith was the driving force behind the Broncos' success, leading all scorers with seven touchdowns - six on the ground and one through the air. Smith's dynamic playmaking abilities and determination were evident throughout the game, as he consistently outplayed the Roosevelt defense.\n\nThe Broncos began the game with a strong ground game, thanks to a combined effort from junior Bryce Potter and senior Bryce Potter.

Smith continued to dominate the game, evading sacks and finding the end zone from 23 yards out, further extending the Broncos' lead to 14-0 with 8:23 left in the first quarter.\n\nThe second quarter saw Brandeis maintain their lead, with Smith securing another touchdown on the ground for a 21-0 advantage. Roosevelt managed to score once after a 39-yard touchdown pass from Chambers to senior Dreidan Rose, giving the Rough Riders a 21-13 lead at halftime. Smith's scoring continued in the second half, registering a fourth touchdown on the ground with 1:56 remaining in the half, tying the score at 28-21.\n\nRoosevelt made a push to close the gap, capitalizing on another Chambers interception to set up a 6-yard touchdown. However, Brandeis' Wynter Smith responded with a final touchdown through the air, sealing the win for the Broncos with 1:52 left in the third quarter. The victory showcased the team's balanced offensive attack and highlighted the exceptional talent of senior quarterback Wynter Smith.",
