Jonathan Flores and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Vela picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jonathan Flores. Flores was dynamite, rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. Flores is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 131 every time he's taken the field this season.
Flores must have Juarez-Lincoln's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Flores rushed for 244 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in October of 2023.
