Roy had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Fekitoa it was a similar story. Fekitoa rushed for 180 yards, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Royals duked it out back in October.

Logan Cella Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Logan Cella's rushing tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 103+ rushing yards. He made ten total tackles (1.0 for loss). The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.3).
This season, Cella has averaged 8.6 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after 12 games last season, he had six rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 15.

Emerson Geilman and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Emerson Geilman's big game helped extend Bountiful's winning streak to ten on Thursday. Geilman turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 65 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 126 yards and two touchdowns.
Roy's probably not too fond of Geilman given he always seems to get the better of them. When Geilman last faced the Royals back in October, he threw for 197 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns.
