Dylan Brozek Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Stafford had to settle for second even though Dylan Brozek put up the best numbers he has all season. Brozek rushed for 171 yards while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 51 yards.
Stafford is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Brozek and Stafford will take on Pretty Prairie at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
