The Shaw Raiders’ first game of the Al Pellegrino era did not go as planned.

Upson-Lee (1-0) made fairly quick work of the Raiders (0-1), shutting out Shaw in the first half and holding a 13-0 lead at the halftime. The second half saw the Knights storm off for a 33-6 victory.

Marcus Newsome’s four-yard touchdown run with 9:20 left in the fourth quarter was Shaw’s only score of the evening.
