  • Micah Newcom was responsible for five TDs (1 rush, 4 pass) last week.  That is only the 20th time a player has been responsible for five or more TDs in a game.
  • Newcom’s scoring throws against Ohio County gave him four games in his career with at least four TD passes which is the second most for Rocket QB.
  • Newcom’s 19 completions are tied for 12th most in a game.
  • Last season, Newcom had eight games where he completed two-thirds of his passes (minimum 14 passing attempts).  Against Ohio County, he completed 73.08% of his passes which was the first time in 2023 he topped the 66.7% needed to make the list.
