AT A GLANCE: Fulton County

BY: ANDY HUNT

Week 7 Review

• Luke Crider has thrown for 574 in the last two games combined.  That is the most yards in consecutive games by a Rocket QB other than the games surrounding and including the 2017 Ballard Memorial game (70-74).
• Luke Crider’s 272 yards passing last week are the 10^th most ever in a game for CC which means, in relation to passing yardage, he has turned in two of the top-10 single game passing performances in school history in the past two games. 
• Last week, CC did not score in the first quarter and then scored at least 14 points in each of the next three quarters.  That has never been done before in CC history.
• Luke Crider has tied the record for the most pass attempts in a three game span with 101 (Trigg, Caldwell, Webster in 2017).  The record for the most pass attempts in a four game span is 135 which has accomplished twice once in 2015-2016 and once in 2017.
• Luke Crider has become the third Rocket QB to have two streaks of four games or more in length with at least one passing touchdown.  Hunter Boone and Austin Berry are the other two.
• With assuming the Rockets play a game in week 10 of the season and then at least two playoff games, there should be a minimum of five games left in the season.  With that said, Luke Crider’s career passing stats should end where he is second in career passing yards, career completions, career attempts, and career passing TDs.  Hunter Boone holds the record in all four career categories.
• Assuming Luke Crider throws more than 19 TDs passing this season (he has 12 currently), Crider will do something that neither Hunter Boone or Austin Berry were able to do which is increase their statistical totals in passing yards, completions, attempts, and passing TDs from their junior year to their senior year.  For Berry and Boone, the only statistical category that increased for either was Boone's TD passes increased by one from his junior to senior seasons.  Berry, Boone, and Crider were the full-time starter for their entire Junior seasons.
• Preston Morgeson will become only the 4^th player to amass over 1,000 career yards receiving by the end of his junior year with 94 more yards receiving this season.  The other three are Ethan Dossett, T.K. Guess, and Chad Perryman.
• The Crittenden County defense has caused each of last two opponents to have 20 or more incomplete passes.  That is only the second time that a CC opponent has had 20 more incomplete passes in consecutive games in school history (Ballard Memorial, 24 and Fulton County, 22 in 2018).
