In a commanding performance, the Charleston Marauders topped the Boston Colonials 34-7 in their Week 1 matchup of the 2028 season. The victory not only sets the tone for Charleston's campaign but also highlights their potential as serious contenders this season.
Caleb Williams led the charge for the Marauders, throwing for 207 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect with playmakers downfield. J.C. Allen was a standout target, racking up 166 receiving yards and proving to be a constant threat against the Colonials' defense. On the ground, Ciante Russell kept Boston in the game with a strong showing, amassing 119 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Marauders' offensive firepower.
Defensively, Charleston was relentless, with Charlie Taylor leading the team with four tackles. Rueben Bain Jr. added pressure with a sack, while Jaylon Johnson's interception stifled any hopes of a Boston comeback. The game's turning point came in the second quarter when the Marauders scored two quick touchdowns, effectively putting the game out of reach and demonstrating their dominance on both sides of the ball.
