A Season-Best Performance from Jonathan Morgan Leads Clarksville over Cumby
Clarksville was led to victory by Jonathan Morgan, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Morgan threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 142 yards while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played.
Clarksville's win ended a five-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-5. Morgan and Clarksville will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Detroit at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
