Meuller is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 165 every time he's taken the field this season.

A Season-Best Performance from Ja'shon Wallace Leads Gahr over Lynwood
On Friday, Gahr got the W thanks in part to Ja'Shon Wallace playing the best football he has all season. Wallace rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 37 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making two total tackles.
Gahr's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-3. Wallace will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Norwalk on Friday.
