Vela Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Jonathan Flores
Jonathan Flores was instrumental in extending Vela's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Flores as he rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Juarez-Lincoln's probably not too fond of Flores given he always seems to get the better of them. Flores rushed for 244 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in October of 2023.
