Back-to-back defending HCAC champion and 21st-ranked Franklin College overcame a sloppy afternoon at Defiance College on Saturday, to capture a 35-14 triumph. The Grizzlies (6-2, 6-0 HCAC) lost four fumbles and were also intercepted once, but still held off a spirited effort by the host Jackets in DC's final home game of the season.
