Jeremiah Miller Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jeremiah Miller put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 139 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.4). He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played.
The win (which was Lincoln's sixth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Miller will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Clifton-Clyde on Friday.
