Faber Bounces Huxley, Preserves #1 Ranking and Perfect Record
The Faber College football juggernaut faced its stiffest test of the season yet survived a furious offensive onslaught from Huxley College, edging out a 69-65 thriller in Week 2 action. Aided by explosive performances from Nate Sheppard—who racked up 24 points behind 147 rushing yards and three total touchdowns—and wideout Charlie Becker’s 21-point display, Faber managed to keep its unblemished record intact and retain its coveted #1 national ranking.
 Though Huxley College came up just short in the high-scoring shootout, their squad put up a valiant fight anchored by Kewan Lacy’s 15 points and quarterback Marcel Reed’s 11-point effort. The narrow defeat leaves Huxley with a 0-2 record on the young season, but Head Coach John de Sousa was quick to praise his team's resilience on the road. "Our guys went toe-to-toe with the #1 team in the country and traded blows until the final whistle," the coach remarked. "We fell four points short, but playing like this proves we belong in the national conversation, regardless of overall record."
With this hard-fought victory, the all-time series between these two programs is now deadlocked at 2-2. Looking back at their history, Faber grabbed a 75-68 non-conference win in Week 1 of 2018, before Huxley answered back with a dominant 70-41 Orange Bowl semifinal blowout in 2023 and a 72-45 non-conference victory in Week 2 of 2025. Faber’s latest 69-65 triumph levels the lifetime ledger while bringing Faber's cumulative series scoring to 230 points against Huxley's 275.
Faber College Head Coach Lee Gwin breathed a heavy sigh of relief after watching his defense withstand Huxley’s late surge to preserve the top ranking. "You throw out the records and the rankings when these two schools get together—it’s always an absolute heavyweight prize fight," the Faber coach said. "We didn’t play our cleanest game, but finding a way to win when your backs are against the wall is what #1 teams do. We'll take the win, even the series up at two apiece, and get back to work."
