While Houston put up plenty of points on Thursday, the same can't be said for Arlington. The Houston Mustangs blew past the Arlington Tigers 55-0 on the road. That looming 55-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Mustangs yet this season.
Leading Houston to victory were Marcelles Davis and Chandler Day. Davis gained 211 total yards and two touchdowns, while Day threw for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only six passes. Day is becoming a predictor of Houston's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Derrick Miller Jr. was in the mix as well, providing Houston with two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Houston was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 311 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Houston and bumps their season record up to 6-2. As for Arlington, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-6.
Houston will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on White Station at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th. White Station is coming into the contest with five straight victories on the road, so Houston will have to stop a team with plenty of momentum. Arlington will also get a bit of a break before their next game: they'll face off against Germantown at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
