Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nixon). They breezed past the Cigarroa Toros to the tune of 40-0 on Friday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Mustangs considering their seven-point performance the game before.
Nixon's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Hunter Salinas, who rushed for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 161 yards and two TDs while completing 84.6% of his passes. What's more, Salinas racked up 163.8 passer rating, the most he's had since back in August of 2024. Nixon's leading receiver Mateo Hernandez was Salinas' top target yet again, picking up 118 receiving yards and a pair of scores.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Nixon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 216 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Nixon didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Chris Lee and Christian Rodriguez.
