Uriah Tenette Delivers Electric Effort Vs Mingus
Prescott picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Uriah Tenette. Tenette was dynamite, throwing for 268 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 60 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
Tenette might have his next game, a home matchup with Vista Grande, circled on his calendar. Back in September (the last time Tenette saw the Spartans), he threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes, and also rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.
