Miguel Alaniz Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Santa Maria got the W thanks in part to Miguel Alaniz playing the best football he has all season. Alaniz threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 52 yards on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Alaniz has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 89.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 34.29 rushing yards.
