Preston Wood Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Carey got the W thanks in part to Preston Wood playing the best football he has all season. Wood rushed for 183 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
The victory (which was Carey's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Wood will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Shoshone on Friday.
