Austin Gets a Boost from Flores in 42-0 Win
Oscar Flores was instrumental in extending Austin's winning streak to six on Friday. Flores was dynamite, rushing for 105 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
Riverside's probably not too fond of Flores given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Flores saw the Rangers), he rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown.
