It's so much more fun to do compile these after a win.


Dak Prescott

• Dak probably had the best single-game performance in school history, setting these single-game records:
  • 38 completions
  • 508 passing yards
  • 5 passing touchdowns
  • 554 yards of total offense
  • 7 total touchdowns
• Dak is now in sole possession of all career, single-season, and single-game passing and total offense records.
• Dak has 260 completions this season, breaking the single-season record he set last year. He'll shatter it for the next 2 games.
• Dak now has passed for 3,159 passing yards this year, which is 290 away from the record of 3,449 he set last year.
• Dak now has 23 passing touchdowns, 4 away from his record from last year.
• All this season, I haven't thought Dak had a chance in hell of passing his mark of 4,435 total offense yards from last year. But after last night, he has 3,637 on the season, meaning he needs to average 399 yards over the last 2 games to do it. He's done that twice this season already, so it's plausible.
• Dak has 32 total touchdowns this season, 9 away from his mark of 41 last year.
• Dak continued to extend his career records:
  • 678 completions
  • 8,742 passing yards
  • 64 passing touchdowns
  • 11,153 yards of total offense
  • 104 total touchdowns (or 107 if you count his receiving touchdowns)
• Dak now has 2,411 career rushing yards, which is 8th. He's 41 away from passing J.J. Johnson for 7th.
• Dak has 40 career rushing touchdowns, which is 2 away from Anthony Dixon's career record.
• Dak is one of 6 SEC players to ever post 11,000 career total offense yards:
  • 13,554 - Aaron Murray
  • 12,232 - Tim Tebow
  • 11,350 - Chris Leak
  • 11,270 - David Greene
  • 11,153 - Dak Prescott
  • 11,020 - Peyton Manning
  • No doubt that Dak is 3rd a week from now. Outside chance (needs 423.5 per game) to hit 12,000. Extremely outside chance (needs 539.5 per game) to pass Tim Tebow.

Fred Ross

• With 10 receptions, Ross entered the single-game top 10 yet again this season.
• Ross is now at 69 receptions on the season, which is #2. He needs only 5 more for the record.
• Ross now has 108 career receptions, which is 1 outside the top 10. If he returns, he'll easily pass David Smith's record of 162.
• Ross has 816 receiving yards this year, which is only 18 away from entering the top 10.
• He's also only 219 away from Mardye McDole's record of 1,035, so I think there's a chance.
• Ross has 1,420 career receiving yards, which is still 212 away from the career top 10. He's 850 away from Chad Bumphis's record of 2,270, so he has a good shot if he returns next year.
• Ross now has 9 career receiving touchdowns, which puts him 1 away from the career top 10.

De'Runnya Wilson

• Wilson had 10 catches himself last night, entering the single-game top 10 with Ross.
• Wilson now has 50 receptions this season, tying him for 10th. A couple more games like last night for him and he'll climb the leaderboards fast.
• Wilson passed Jameon Lewis, Mardye McDole, Eric Moulds, and Terrell Grindle to take 5th place with 123 career receptions. He's 12 away from Justin Jenkin's 4th, so he might get that this year. If Wilson and Ross are both back on campus next year, they'll both pass David Smith's 162, and it will be entertaining to see who comes out on top.
• Wilson has 757 receiving yards this year, so he should make it to the top 10 too. In fact, he's 278 yards away from McDole's record of 1,035, so outside chance of him passing it.
• Wilson's now at 1,788 career receiving yards. That's 482 yards away from Bumphis's mark of 2,270, so he should shatter that if he returns next.
• Wilson has 9 receiving touchdowns this year, which is 3 away from Bumphis's record of 12.
• Wilson has 21 career receiving touchdowns, which is 3 away from Bumphis's record of 24.

Love this thread every week. Thanks for providing it QK

If Ross and Wilson come back, I have no worries about what our passing game can do with Fitz or Staley. We only lose Morrow in the receiving corps, which would be huge.

Also - it cracks me up when I say "Ross and Wilson". If you were in Atlanta in the late 70s or early 80s, you probably know why.
