Cannie Jr Came Up Big in Ellison's 38-19 Victory
The second Ellison player making an appearance here is Daryl Cannie Jr, and for good reason. He rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
