Big Game from Corcoran As College Station Won 58-18

For the season, Corcoran has thrown 26 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 238.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 81.98 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 137.64 passer rating.
