Week 4 Review
- Last week, Caden Howard and Cam’Ron Belcher had 129 and 128 yards receiving, respectively. No pair of Rocket players have ever recorded at least 128 receiving yards each in the same game until last week.
- Caden Howard’s three receiving TDs were a new single game career high for him. Additionally, his total is the 13th time a player has had three or more receiving TDs in a game.
- Quinn Summers was “responsible for” six touchdowns in last week’s game (two running, four passing) which is tied for the third most in a game. Only Devon Nesbitt with seven (2018, Ballard Memorial) and Luke Crider with eight (2021, Fulton County – Playoffs) have more than Quinn.
