Return Game & Field Position
|
|
Ty Mason gave his offense short fields all week with 138 return yards on four chances, including a 62-yard burst that set up the go-ahead score.

|
|
|
|
Darius Cole’s rushing efficiency was the clearest sign of control this week. When a lead back is creating seven yards per attempt on 20-plus carries, the entire game script bends around him.

|
|
Looking ahead: next week’s slate features a pair of top-five pass attacks, two breakout backs facing bottom-third run defenses, and a marquee receiver-corner matchup that could define the weekend.
