Jorge Luna Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jorge Luna produced his most outstanding game to date while leading United to the win on Thursday. Luna threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Luna and United will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Laredo LBJ at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Luna will have to deal with Hector Benavides, who's been a dominant force in the Bulldogs' backfield. Will Benavides keep Luna contained, or will Luna turn in another impressive offensive performance? There's only one way to know for sure.

Zaragoza and United will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Laredo LBJ at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Zaragoza better keep an eye on Jose Fernandez Iii as he's been one of the Bulldogs' best running back. Will Fernandez Iii have another big offensive game, or will Zaragoza keep him contained? We'll have our answer soon enough.
