Judson Dotson Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, West Rusk got the W thanks in part to Judson Dotson playing the best football he has all season. Dotson rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 149 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of West Rusk's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Dotson has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 89.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 21.5 passing yards per game.
