Jalen Macon News: Shows out as rusher in start

Macon completed 3 of 4 passes for 73 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 45-3 win over Massachusetts. He also had 12 rushes for 98 yards with three touchdowns.

Macon got his first start of the season against the Minutemen, and he showed out both as a passer and a rusher. While the 6-foot-5 quarterback logged just four pass attempts, he completed three of them for 73 yards and cashed a touchdown. The most impressive part of his performance was on the ground, though, with a rushing score in every quarter but the fourth. Given the dominance and efficiency of the blowout showing from Macon, he'll likely get a start once again next Tuesday against Western Michigan.
