Cannie Jr Came Up Big in Ellison's 38-19 Victory
The second Ellison player making an appearance here is Daryl Cannie Jr, and for good reason. He rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Cannie Jr has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 83.5 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 30.17 rushing yards per game.
