A Season-Best Effort from Jackson Lawver Leads Providence Grove over Trinity
On Friday, Providence Grove got the W thanks in part to Jackson Lawver playing the best football he has all season. Lawver rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 103 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 65 yards.
On the year, Lawver has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 83.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 9.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 63.05 passer rating.
