CINCINNATI, OH – Princeton christened its new Jake Sweeney Automotive Stadium in dominant fashion Friday night, overwhelming Mason 47-0 to remain unbeaten and make its first game in the new facility a memorable one.
The top-ranked team in the Blitz 5 Top 25 wasted little time giving the home crowd something to celebrate. Key’Sean Torbert connected with David Fields for a 50-yard touchdown just 1:45 into the game before adding an 11-yard touchdown run. His 34-yard scoring strike to Lorenzo McMullen Jr. made it 20-0 before the end of the first quarter.
After a scoreless second quarter, Princeton (7-0) put the game away with another 20-point outburst in the third.
Jordan Hall started the second-half scoring with a 12-yard touchdown run. Just 10 seconds later, Torbert found McMullen for a 28-yard score. David White Jr. added a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown to make it 40-0.
McMullen completed his huge night with a nine-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. He finished with 10 catches for 148 yards and three touchdowns.

Torbert was equally impressive in his second start at quarterback. He completed 16-of-20 passes for 258 yards and four touchdowns while adding 24 yards and a score on the ground.
While the offense produced 389 yards, Princeton’s defense completely smothered Mason. The Comets managed just 48 total yards and two first downs while going 0-for-11 on third down. Mason finished with minus-three passing yards and only 51 yards on 28 rushing attempts.
Anthony Jackson led the Vikings with seven tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss. Princeton finished with three sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss.
It was a fitting debut for Princeton’s new home as the Vikings improved to 7-0 and remained firmly in control of the GMC race with three regular-season games remaining.
