Kyler Battle Turns in Season-Best Performance
Booker T. Washington was led to victory by Kyler Battle, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Battle rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, 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 97 yards.
This year, Battle has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 73.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Bj Johnson
Bj Johnson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 16th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 13 total tackles (5.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
For the year, Johnson has averaged 11 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.22 defended passes per game. This year he is averaging 0.44 defended passes.
