It’s Miller Time.
That’s Zach Miller, the fullback and linebacker who is 3 yards shy of rushing for 1,000 with three games to go and also leads the Polk tacklers.
“I don’t know that he likes the analogy, but there have been some [Miller Time] signs in the stands,” Polk coach Derrick Davis said.
The junior, who at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds stands out almost as much as his bright yellow Ford Ranger, has blossomed. After he played strictly defense a year ago, his offensive coming-out party coincided with a time of need.
