Nunes Made His Presence Known in South Park's 35-14 Victory
Adam Nunes's big game helped extend South Park's winning streak to six on Friday. Nunes was dynamite, rushing for 189 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. Nunes is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 116 every time he's taken the field this season.
Pioneer's probably not too fond of Nunes given he always seems to get the better of them. When Nunes last faced the Panthers back in September, he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.
