Robertson Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Jesse James Gonzalez
Jesse James Gonzalez's big game helped extend Robertson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Gonzalez was unstoppable, throwing for 225 yards and two touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushing for 64 yards and a touchdown.
West Las Vegas's probably not too fond of Gonzalez given he always seems to get the better of them. Gonzalez rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes the last time he and the Dons duked it out back in October of 2023.

This season, Perea has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 173.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 35.43 rushing yards.
