Stephenson Gets a Boost from Johnson in 45-6 Victory
Stephenson picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jayden Johnson. Johnson was dynamite, rushing for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He is becoming a predictor of Stephenson's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the season, Johnson has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 122.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.71 rushing yards per game.
