Brogan Gross Delivers Best Effort of Season

Muscle Shoals had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Gross it was a similar story. Gross threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only six carries the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September of 2023.
