Landon Duckworth's Big Game Leads Jackson over W.S. Neal

Big Game from Crowell As Jackson Won 48-0

Nobody could stop Crowell as he rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Crowell might have his next game, a road matchup with Satsuma, circled on his calendar. Crowell rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.
