Mike Jones continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 84 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 96 yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 52 yards.
Despite the loss, Brock still got an impressive performance from Brett Tutter, who rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
Malakoff's win was their 12th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 15-0.
