Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Arp). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Buffalo Bison 61-8 on the road. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Zane Bourque continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 167 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 133 yards and a touchdown. Those 167 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Josh Smith was another key player, rushing for 99 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Arp was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 409 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 151 rushing yards in six consecutive games.
Arp's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. Smith was especially locked on to Buffalo's QB and sacked him twice. Smith also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Arp is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Arp has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. As for Buffalo, their loss was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-4.
Coincidentally, the two teams will both be playing Elkhart the next time they take the field. Buffalo will head out to face Elkhart at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, while Arp will host them at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.
