The Fujitsu Frontiers delivered a commanding performance at home, defeating the Oriental Bio Silver Star 36-10 in a decisive XLeague contest. The victory was fueled by a powerful ground game and a stifling defense that limited the visitors to a single touchdown and field goal throughout the four quarters of play.
Ground game establishes early control
The Frontiers set the tone early with a relentless rushing attack that produced four rushing touchdowns. Running back Trashaun Nixon led the charge with an impressive 128 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries, including a long run of 42 yards. He was complemented by Takaki Miyake, who added 82 yards and two additional scores, including an explosive 57-yard run. This dominant ground performance controlled the clock and consistently positioned the Frontiers in scoring territory, establishing a lead that would never be threatened.
Silver star offensive efforts
The Oriental Bio Silver Star offense struggled against the Fujitsu defense. Running back Yusuke Ishikawa was held to just 29 yards rushing and a touchdown on nine carries, while Atsuya Miyashita added 23 yards on eight attempts. Quarterback Yasunari Sasaki completed 12 of 22 passes for 123 yards, with receiver Yusuke Kumai contributing 49 yards on two receptions, including a long of 47 yards. Kicker Mitsuri Umegaki provided the team’s other points with a successful field goal in the second quarter.
Balanced offensive execution
While the Frontiers running game was the foundation of the victory, the Fujitsu passing attack provided efficient balance. Quarterback Takagi Tsubasa completed 22 of 30 attempts for 189 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to receiver Mikito Itokawa, who led all receivers with 86 yards on five catches. This balanced offensive approach kept the Oriental Bio Silver Star defense off-balance throughout the game and allowed the Frontiers to sustain multiple long scoring drives across all four quarters.
Defensive dominance secures victory
The Fujitsu defense was equally instrumental in the victory, limiting the Oriental Bio offense to just 10 points. They held the visitors to a single field goal in the first half and only allowed a late fourth-quarter touchdown when the outcome was already decided. The defensive front consistently contained the run game and applied pressure that disrupted the passing attack, completing a comprehensive team performance that showcased the Frontiers’ strengths on both sides of the ball and securing an important XLeague victory.
