Omar Mabson's Big Game Leads Auburn over Dothan
Omar Mabson's big game helped extend Auburn's winning streak to nine on Friday. Nobody could stop Mabson as he rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Unfortunately for Dothan, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Mabson. Mabson rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Blake Johnson Leads Opelika over Carver Montgomery
Sadly, Blake Johnson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Opelika over Carver Montgomery on Thursday. Johnson rushed for 78 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 66 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Opelika moved to 8-2 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak. Johnson and Opelika will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Hoover at 7:00 p.m. on November 15th.
