Devin Rasmussen produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Edison to the win on Friday. Rasmussen threw for 235 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 33 yards.

Jordin Thomas Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lincoln came up short on Friday despite Jordin Thomas delivering his best game to date. Thomas rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (104.8). He is becoming a predictor of Lincoln's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Unfortunately for Kimball, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Thomas. Thomas rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in August of 2023.
