BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• His four touchdown-pass game marked the sixth time Scott has thrown four or more touchdown passes in his 23 career starts.
• Already Augsburg's all-time career rushing leader at 2,375 career rushing yards, Scott's 395 career rushes are fifth-most in school history; the school record is 497 by Wayne Graves (1970-73). His 22 rushing touchdowns are also most in school history, with Washington in second place with 19 rushing touchdowns.
