Jacob Molina Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jacob Molina produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Exeter to the win on Friday. Molina rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Molina could be in store for another big game when he takes on Hanford West on Thursday. When Molina last faced the Huskies back in September of 2023, he threw for 296 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
