Reynolds rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 71 yards.
If the past is any indication, Reynolds could be in store for another big game when he takes on Red Mountain on Friday.
