Jalen Murphy Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Thursday, Liberty got the W thanks in part to Jalen Murphy playing the best football he has all season. Murphy rushed for 252 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.5 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (118.1). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
