The Scotland defense continued to play stellar football on their side of the ball. The Scots let up only six points in the game which has been a trend over the season.
"Our defense has played well all year," Redding said. "We haven't given up anymore than 12 points and one of those was late in the game.
"They [defense] have played spectacular giving the offense great field position all year," he said. "They are the core of the team, no doubt."
"The offense got better as we went on through the year, but the defense held us together in the beginning, we messed well, and won the past few games pretty big."
Tralen Jones finished the afternoon with 45 yards on punt returns including a 20 yard return to set up the final touchdown of the game for the Scots.
