Malachi Toney became the Patriots’ QB when 5-star signal caller Dia Bell, a University of Texas-recruit, was injured in the team’s second round playoff game against Dillard.
Friday night, at FIU’s South Dade Kia Field at Pitbull Stadium, Toney a 4-star, Miami Hurricanes-recruit, completed 15-of-18 pass with a touchdown.
