The Quarterback Who Changed the Game

Western Carolina's football team has seen a big turnaround this season. They started with three losses, but since their star quarterback, Taron Dickens, came back, they've won four games in a row. Dickens is a key player for the team. He's not just good; he's amazing. He can throw the ball really far and fast. His teammates are also quick, making it hard for other teams to stop them. The Citadel is getting ready to play Western Carolina. They know it won't be easy. Their coach, Maurice Drayton, said Dickens is a special player. He can do things that other quarterbacks can't. For example, in one game, Dickens completed 46 passes in a row. That's a new record. He's also thrown for a lot of yards and touchdowns this season. Dickens had a tough start last year. He only played in seven games. But this year, he's already thrown for more yards and touchdowns than he did in his whole previous season. He's a big reason why Western Carolina is doing so well. The Citadel's coach knows they have a tough game ahead. He said Western Carolina's coach, Kerwin Bell, is aggressive. He'll try to score as many points as possible, no matter what. The Citadel has to be ready for a tough fight.
