Jacob Collins Turns in Another Game with at Least 121 Receiving Yards
On Friday, Grass Lake got the W thanks in part to Jacob Collins playing the best football he has all season. Collins' receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 121 receiving yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 51 yards.
For the year, Collins has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 116.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 29 receiving yards per game.

Braylon Brown posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
On the season, Brown has averaged 34 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
