Mac Jones, starting in place of Brock Purdy and hobbled by a knee injury himself, was 33-of-49 for 342 yards and two touchdowns. Kendrick Bourne, starting in place of the injured Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings, had a career-high 142 yards."
"He's one of the toughest, grittiest guys I've ever been around. Christian's been unbelievable. He's been running into some really tough looks but he doesn't shy away from anything. On Eddy Pineiro's delayed return to the locker room postgame: I believe it took him like 20 minutes to get in there. I don't know if he was doing interviews or what. We would have been mad at him, but he was four-for-four, so it was ll good."
