Brody Sieck Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Arapahoe got the W thanks in part to Brody Sieck playing the best football he has all season. Sieck picked up two sacks and made eight total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is becoming a predictor of Arapahoe's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the year, Sieck has averaged 6.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.13 total tackles per game.
