Bailey Posts Huge Game in 28-24 Defeat
Deuce Bailey put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 38 yards. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
South Warren had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Bailey it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Spartans), he threw for 376 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.4% of his passes.

Trevy Barber Makes It Two for Bowling Green
Another Bowling Green player making an appearance on this list is Trevy Barber. He picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Barber has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 95.5 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 33.25 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.67
Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Bryce Button
The second South Warren player making an appearance here is Bryce Button, and for good reason. He threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Bowling Green's probably not too fond of Button given he always seems to get the better of them. Button threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Purples duked it out back in October of 2023.
