Smigiel was unstoppable, throwing for 263 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.

Isaiah Bautista and Co. Win Third in a Row
Isaiah Bautista was instrumental in extending Rio Mesa's winning streak to three on Thursday. Santa Barbara had no answer to Bautista as he rushed for 49 yards and three touchdowns.
On the year, Bautista has averaged 15.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 47.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80.43 rushing yards.
