Justin Thierheimer Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Tompkins got the W thanks in part to Justin Thierheimer playing the best football he has all season. Thierheimer threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72% of his passes, and also rushed for 112 yards on only eight 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 62 yards.
For the season, Thierheimer has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 178.6 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.2 passing yards per game.

Zion Jones Has Career-Day on Friday
Zion Jones produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Jordan to the win on Friday.
