SPECIAL TO THE TIMES

Tustin’s offensive game plan continues to be as simple as it gets: DeShaun Foster run left, run right. The senior rushed for 328 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tillers to a 35-20 nonleague victory over Huntington Beach Thursday night at Huntington Beach High.

Foster, who rushed for 314 yards last week, Thursday carried 44 times and scored on runs of five, two, seven, one and one yards to give him a county-leading 17 touchdowns after four games. He has broken the 1,000-yard barrier already with a total of 1,044 yards.

Tustin (4-0), ranked fourth in the county, scored on its first possession, going 87 yards on 10 plays with Foster gaining 82 of those yards in nine carries, scoring on a five-yard run with 6 minutes 34 seconds left in the first quarter.
