Mcclave Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Ethan Bronniman
Ethan Bronniman was instrumental in extending McClave's winning streak to six on Saturday. Bronniman did his part (and then some), rushing for 60 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 144 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
