He backed up that prediction again rushing 19 times for 149 yards. Look for 6-3 220-pound standout [player_tooltip player_id='312496' first='Hudson' last='Hardy'] to get back in the mix in the coming weeks as well.    [player_tooltip player_id='284120' first='Drew' last='Weiler'] 26' QB Lakeridge     One of the biggest question marks heading into the season was the QB play, after Lakeridge graduated Gabriel Motschenbacher.
