Keller had lost three straight, but after bumping their record up to 4-5 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. They won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by the Timber Creek Falcons 37-36. The Indians have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Falcons, too.
Brock Burkett had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 144 yards and one TD on only 13 carries, while also throwing for 120 yards and three touchdowns. Those 144 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Ralph Crosby also helped with two scores in total.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Keller was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 224 rushing yards. They are 3-1 when they've run for more than 200 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Keller's defensive line and their three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Kaiden McCauley, Freddy Atamah, and Breckin Rogers, who each picked up one sack apiece. Keller got some further help from McCauley: he picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception.
As for Timber Creek, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-7. Despite 55 more yards than Keller, the Falcons couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Hudson Howard and Trey Hopkins certainly did their best on Thursday to avoid the loss. Howard picked up 86 receiving yards and one TD, while Hopkins rushed for 56 yards and one touchdown.
