Breitenstein, who leads the nation in scoring and is seventh in rushing, had another huge day as the Terriers hung on to beat Georgia Southern 33-31 at Paulson Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The win moves Wofford (4-1 overall; 2-0 SoCon) into sole possession of second place in the SoCon. Breitenstein rambled for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The Wofford defense came up with two big stops in the last six minutes of the fourth quarter to win the game.
On the year, Breitenstein, a two-time all-state selection for Watauga High, has 585 rushing yards and he has scored 11 touchdowns. He's also caught two passes for 26 yards. The Terriers return home to play Western Carolina next Saturday. Wofford travels to Boone to play the Mountaineers on November 13.
