Tj Morrow Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Land O' Lakes got the W thanks in part to Tj Morrow playing the best football he has all season. Morrow rushed for 209 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
The win snapped Land O' Lakes' losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 2-5 record. Morrow will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Wiregrass Ranch on Friday.
