Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Christoval). They really took it to the Colorado Wolves for the full four quarters, racking up a 42-14 victory at home. This was payback for the Cougars, who suffered a 15-12 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Christoval had a senior duo take command as Stanton McGlothlin rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries and Manuel Riojas rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry. Riojas also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Christoval was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 334 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Christoval wouldn't let Colorado keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Christoval can thank Ronin Johnson and Riojas for forcing both of them.
When it comes to explaining why Colorado lost on Friday, don't look at Jeremaih Green. Despite the final result, he rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. Green showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 55 yards.
Christoval's record is now 2-4. As for Colorado, their record is now an identical 2-4.
