Death, taxes, and Josh Hough's ridiculous stat line. Those are the certainties in this life. Syracuse running back commit Josh Hough led Beaver Falls to a 42-14 win over Western Beaver in the WPIAL Class 2A quarterfinals. Hough finished the game with 210 yards rushing on just 10 carries and five rushing touchdowns. 

Hough averaged 21 yards per carry in the game, and scored on half of his rushing attempts. With the win, Beaver Falls advances to the 2A semifinals, where they will face Apollo-Ridge on Friday. 

The performance is the latest video game like outing for the Syracuse running back commit. Earlier this season, he was named SI All-American Freak of the Weak for a four carry, 243 yard, three touchdown performance. He averaged over 60 yards per carry in that game. 

“I just went out there and did my job," he told SI All-American after being named Freak of the Week. "My O-line is serious, they make the big plays possible.”

SI All-American's Ethan Weathersby has been impressed with Hough's ability. 

"Hough displayed solid vision and mental processing, with 1-cut ability after his lead blockers properly got fits and hats on defenders," Weathersby said. "The big man also showed off contact balance, along with a stiff-arm on a carry when challenged while clearing the second level. Hough also ran with a smooth stride in the open field, something you don't see often from runners his size."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
