Jason Stoner Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jason Stoner posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (103.8) per game. He is becoming a predictor of Gunderson's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
The win was the fifth in a row for Gunderson, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Stoner will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on James Lick on Friday.
