Brandan Ridley Crosses Big Stat Threshold

Ridley rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 45 receiving yards. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (106.2).

Langston Hughes' victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Langford and Langston Hughes will square off against Morrow at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Brysen Davies
Brysen Davies continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 18th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up two sacks and made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He is becoming a predictor of Northgate's success: when he posts at least one sack the team is 2-1 (and 0-5 when he doesn't).
On the season, Davies has averaged 11.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks.
