The Spartans fought hard with a big play of their own, thanks to defensive end Josh Williams. In the third quarter, Williams made a pivotal interception and then sprinted 79 yards for a touchdown, giving Campbell some much-needed momentum. Despite Williams's heroics on defense, the Spartans couldn’t keep pace with Allatoona’s explosive offense. Campbell’s defense also shined with three sacks and two interceptions, but it wasn’t enough to halt the Buccaneers’ offensive assault. The game also saw turnovers contribute to the lopsided score, with Allatoona forcing three turnovers that kept the pressure on their opponents all night.<br />
