HOW IT HAPPENED
• Scott rushed 28 times for a career-high 232 yards and four touchdowns, including an 82-yard score with 20 seconds left in the game to seal the win. He also had an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter and rushed for nine- and three-yard scores in the fourth quarter.

Scott also threw an 11-yard score to Scott Bossard (JR, North Branch, Minn.) in the third quarter.
• Augsburg had its biggest lead at 20-7 early in the second quarter, but the game ended up being a back-and-forth struggle after that, with six lead changes, all in the second half. The Auggies took the lead for good when Scott scored his three-yard touchdown with 2:56 left to play, giving the Auggies a 49-45 lead.

• Brandyn Oliver (SO, Lake City, Minn.) connected on his second 30-yard-plus field goal of the season, a 36-yarder with 1:37 left in the second quarter.
• Joey Sonnenfeld (JR, Maple Grove, Minn./Osseo HS) caught five passes for 87 yards, while Bossard caught four passes for 53 yards.
• The two teams combined for 1,186 yards of total offense in the game -- Augsburg 682 yards (410 rushing, 272 passing) and Concordia-Wisconsin 504 (450 passing, 54 rushing).

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• Scott became Augsburg's all-time career rushing leader with his 232-yard rushing day. In 22 career games, he now has 2,281 career rushing yards, breaking the old school record of 2,226 yards, set by Marty Alger (1991-95). Scott's 382 career rushes are fifth-most in school history; the school record is 497 by Wayne Graves (1970-73).
• Scott's four rushing touchdowns tied a single-game school record set four times before, including once before by Scott. It also marks the 10th time in school history that an Auggie has scored four overall touchdowns in a single game.
• Scott 504 yards of total offense marked the second time he has reached the 500-yard mark in total offense in a single game, the other a 510-yard effort (374 passing, 136 rushing) in a 38-31 loss to Concordia-Moorhead on Oct. 20, 2012. It's the seventh time Scott has achieved 400 or more yards of total offense in a game in his career, and his 12th 100-yard-or-more rushing game.
• Scott moved into fourth place in school history in career passing yards (5,443). He has completed 414-of-692 passes in his career (fourth in career completions) with 54 touchdowns (second in school history) against 29 interceptions.
• The 178-yard rushing effort for Washington marked his fifth 100-yard-plus rushing game of his career. His 24 carries marked a career-high.
