Talen Mather was his usual excellent self, rushing for 190 yards and a pair of scores on only ten carries. He is becoming a predictor of Frontier's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Frontier was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 318 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since the start of last season.
Another reason for the win was Frontier's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for eight sacks. Linkin Rosario was especially locked on to Stockdale's QB and sacked him twice. Frontier got some further help from Brandon Thomas: he picked up a sack and made six total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Liberty earned a 17-10 win over Independence last Friday.
Liberty's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. As for Frontier, their record is now 2-4.
Frontier came up short against Liberty when the teams last played back in October of 2024, falling 25-20. Thankfully for the Titans, Jalen Murphy (who rushed for 252 yards and one TD while picking up 10.5 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
