Gabriel Nisperos Has Career-Day on Friday
Gabriel Nisperos posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss). He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Riverbank is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
For the year, Nisperos has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
