Binger seeing lots of playing time
Former Mount Si football standout and 1998 graduate Aaron Binger
is seeing plenty of action for Pacific Lutheran University.
Binger, a redshirt freshman for the Lutes, started with 171 yards
rushing and two scores on eight carries against California Lutheran. The two
touchdown runs were 30 and 55 yards respectively. The Lutes defeated
California Lutheran 49-7.
In his second game last weekend against Simon Fraser, Binger
added 246 total yards, with 134 coming from his receiving efforts on nine
catches. His scoring reception came on a 4-yard pass from Lutes
quarterback Chad Johnson to break a 21-all tie.
His rushing touchdown was a 12-yard burst up the middle with 4:14
remaining in the game.
The Lutes are heavily favored to repeat as national champions
in NCAA Division III.
