Lucciano Santamaria Has Career Rushing Day
On Saturday, Governor Livingston got the W thanks in part to Lucciano Santamaria playing the best football he has all season. Santamaria rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Santamaria has averaged 109.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.
