In what was the season opener for both teams and the first game played on the newly-installed artificial surface, J.J. Smith had a big game for the Knights in running for an unofficial 135 yards on 17 carries and Harrison Hicks had a solid debut as the starting quarterback with two touchdown passes and a TD run.
