Berry's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Daylyn Taylor

This season, Taylor has averaged 5 total tackles per game and for the season has those 4 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.2 total tackles per game.

Olympic had to settle for second on Thursday, but De'Angelo Hall sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Hall was still balling out as he picked up 56 receiving yards, and also punched in a rushing score. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made a tackle.
For the season, Hall has averaged 53.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 4.14 rushing yards.
