Markel Keyes Turns in Season-Best Performance
Markel Keyes produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Salmen to the win on Friday. Keyes rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
