Ephs Beat Amherst 24-23 to Win Little Three
In Williams’ 999th football game, the Ephs (6-2) did something they’d done 608 times before on Saturday – they won. As one would expect from a school now sporting a 609-343-47 record (equating to a .632 winning percentage, good for 5th all-time among NCAA teams with at least 500 victories), the Ephs didn’t out-talent or overpower an exceptionally strong Amherst football team (5-3) on Saturday; they didn’t ride the play of any one individual, and they didn’t crush the Jeffs with flawless execution. Plain and simple, they just found a way to win, this time on a 4th quarter drive to pull ahead 24-23.
