Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Jace Roberts
Jace Roberts continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 64 yards and two touchdowns.

Lurbryson Ross continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 104 rushing yards. He rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes.
Ross' next game is against Elysian Fields on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Ross will face off against Alex Simmons on Friday, the Yellowjackets' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
