He reached the end zone in every game that season and surpassed 100 yards on the ground seven times. His most productive game was a 320-yard, six-touchdown performance at Beloit College in the season finale, a 54-40 Forester victory. Honore was named the team’s Most Valuable Player and the MWC North Division Offensive Player of the Year after the season.
