Jeremiah Miller Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jeremiah Miller put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 139 yards and three touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.4) per game. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Miller and Lincoln will welcome Clifton-Clyde on Friday. The last time Miller took on the Eagles, he rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Reece Remus Dazzles in Lakeside Victory
The second Lakeside player making an appearance here is Reece Remus, and for good reason. He picked up 88 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
This season, Remus has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 34.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 47 rushing yards.

Miller Made His Presence Known in Lincoln's 46-22 Win
Xavier Miller put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He picked up 81 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Miller and Lincoln will be playing at home against Clifton-Clyde on Friday. The Leopards had to take a loss when they last met the Eagles, but Miller had little to do with the loss: he picked up 155 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
