Taye Wilson posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Pratt's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Wilson's next matchup is against Cheney on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
