Morris had won five straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Friday they bumped up to 5-0 to make it six. They were the clear victors by a 42-21 margin over the Kaneland Knights. With Morris ahead 21-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.

Morris had a senior duo take command as Caeden Curran rushed for 185 yards and two scores and Brady Varner rushed for 104 yards and one TD. Curran is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 108 every time he's taken the field this season. Logan Conroy did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 85 receiving yards.

Morris' run defense was locked in: Kaneland could only muster 2.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Keegan Kjellesvik for the heroic effort on defense: he. Morris didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 9.3.

Morris' defense didn't let Jack Polakowski, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for five sacks. Kaneland's QB won't forget Colin Zierman anytime soon given he sacked him twice.

Having lost for the first time this season, Kaneland fell to 4-1. The contest marked their lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.

When it comes to explaining why Kaneland lost, don't look at Colin Ditmar. Despite the final result, he picked up 188 receiving yards and one touchdown. Hayden Nowak also deserves some recognition as he hauled in his first receiving touchdown of the season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Morris will take on rival Rochelle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Kaneland is set to face off against their familiar foe Sycamore at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
