Travis Dye Puts an End to Anaconda's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Travis Dye, Anaconda said goodbye to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season. On Friday Dye rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Anaconda's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Dye and Anaconda will head out on the road to challenge Loyola-Sacred Heart on Friday.
Gamescore: 40.00
