Jones has rushed for 847 yards after missing a game three weeks ago to injury. But the Thunder have many rushing threats, including Sterling Reynolds, who rushed for four TDs last week against Hudson’s Bay, and Jeff Carmody.
The Columbian’s take: Mountain View’s rushing attack has given opponents fits this season. And the Thunder’s defense has flown under the radar, giving up only 17 points in the past four games. River has struggled against good defenses. PICK: Mountain View
