Marcus Meras Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sutter was led to victory by Marcus Meras, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Meras rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 64 yards.
Meras and Sutter will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Casa Roble at 7:15 p.m. on November 1st. Meras will face off against Braylen Blevins, the Rams' star running back. 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.

Blevins Posts Huge Game in 44-20 Victory
Braylen Blevins posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 175 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 125 rushing yards in the fourth games prior.
Dixon's probably not too fond of Blevins given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Blevins saw Dixon), he rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
