Box score This year’s Northridge football team knows how to play one way: fast and aggressive. Last week, the Knights suffered a disappointing loss to former region rival Layton, but on this smoky Friday evening, Maximus Fonoti-Maikui bounced back to throw for 424 yards as the Knights held off Murray 35-27 in an entertaining nonregion matchup. “We put our foot on the gas and never let up,” said Knights coach Andrew Fresques. “We’re always trying to make plays and we put our trust in our kids and let the chips fall where they may.” Northridge never trailed, but also couldn’t always feel comfortable because the Knights were their own worst enemy. Despite a 619-243 advantage in total offense, they only won by eight points and had to rely on two fourth-quarter defensive stands to hold on to the win. One reason was Northridge was guilty of 16 penalties for over 150 yards, and six of those calls came on emotionally-driven personal fouls.
