Dak Prescott
Continued to extend career records:
533 completions
6,682 passing yards
48 passing touchdowns (actually he didn't have one last night for the first time since the 2013 South Carolina game)
9,012 total offense yards
82 total touchdowns (passing + rushing)

92 yards of rushing last night puts him only 59 away from entering the career top 10. He's currently at 2,150 (12th).
He's now at 34 rushing touchdowns. Before the season, I thought he'd probably break Anthony Dixon's record of 42, but he'll need to average more than 1 per game going forward to do that.
He's on pace to break the single-season record in completions he set last year, but slightly behind pace to break last year's passing yard


Fred Ross
I didn't fully grasp this until today, but assuming Fred Ross returns for his senior year and doesn't get hurt, he's almost certainly going to break our career receiving records:

The record for career receptions is 162 (David Smith). Ross is at 72, putting him 90 away. Assuming he has 21 more games left in his career, he only needs 4.29 per game to get there. This season, he's averaging 6.6. His total might go down next year without Dak and presumably without such a pass-heavy offense, but he'll be Staley/Fitzgerald's main target (assuming De'Runnya goes pro). If Ross keeps up this pace in 2015, he'll have 125 at the end of this year and will only need 37 next year to do it.
Similarly, Chad Bumphis's school record in yards is 2,270. Ross is at 926. Assuming 21 more games, he only needs to average 64 per game to get there. This is about equal to his average so far this year, so it will be close, but I bet he gets there.
For whatever reason, Ross isn't a touchdown machine (only 5 in his career). Bumphis's record is 24, so Ross will have a hard time getting there.

Ross had 11 catches last night, which ties him for the 5th most in a single game in school history. This is the most since Eric Moulds had 15 against Tennessee in 1995.
His 33 receptions on the year put him on pace to break the single season record (74 by David Smith in 1970).


De'Runnya Wilson
Quiet game last night, but he now has 92 career receptions, putting him 10 away from entering the top 10.
He also has 1,297 receiving yards, putting him 257 away from the top 10.
His 19 receptions on the season are a bit of a disappointment, but he still has a decent chance to enter the single-season top 10 (he'll need 48). He had 25 over the last 3 games of 2014, so there's precedent for him to really turn it on.


Others
Richie Brown added 11 more tackles to bring his season total to 50. He still has an outside shot of having 148 this year to enter the single-season top 10.
Both Richie and Beniquez Brown could enter the career top 10 in tackles (they need 335) if they can average 10 tackles per game for the rest of their careers. Currently Richie has 139 and Beniquez 133.
Westin Graves will enter the kicking lists if he keeps it up (currently 6 of 6 on the year).
