Golden West Gets a Boost from Anders in 23-7 Victory
Golden West picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Case Anders. Nobody could stop Anders as he rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 55 receiving yards. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
If the past is any indication, Anders could be in store for another big game when he takes on Monache on Friday. When Anders last faced the Marauders back in September of 2023, he rushed for 223 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.
