Coad carried the ball 45 times for a career-high 240 yards en route to eclipsing 2,000 yards rushing for his career as the Golden Eagles won their fourth straight Courage Bowl at St. John Fisher, 34-7, Saturday night. He also added three touchdowns on the ground to help the Golden Eagles improve to 3-1 on the year. Coad now has 2,106 career rushing yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground. His 45 rushing attempts were a career-high and fell just two shy of the school-record set by Adam Webster back in 2002. He leads the Empire 8 with seven total touchdowns this season and he leads the league and ranks ninth nationally with an average of 139.3 yards rushing per contest.
