Tyler Sharp Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Providence Christian got the W thanks in part to Tyler Sharp playing the best football he has all season. Sharp rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Providence Christian, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Sharp and Providence Christian will challenge Long at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
