Bobby Rogers Delivers Best Effort of Season
Tom Bean was led to victory by Bobby Rogers, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Rogers rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 84 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. He is becoming a predictor of Tom Bean's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
If the past is any indication, Rogers could be in store for another big game when he takes on Trenton on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Rogers saw the Tigers), he rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 180 yards on ten of 25 attempts.
Gamescore: 70.00
