Malikai Miller Turns in Season-Best Effort
Moore came up short on Friday despite Malikai Miller delivering his best game to date. Miller rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 53 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Miller might just drop another big game when he faces off against Norman on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Tigers), he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
