The 2012 Bluffton football season started with a broken record and an impressive showing on the ground. Bluffton racked up 270 yards rushing and even more importantly, limited Cory-Rawson to only 134 yards of total offense on their turf.
With a convincing 30-0 showing in the first game of the season on the road, Bluffton seems poised to be a tough match-up this upcoming year.
