WR Budda Harris had another big game with 2 spectacular TD catches on his way to a 5 catch - 77 yard night. Michael Rainer ran 19 times for 182 yards and 2TDs including an amazing 15 yard run with about a minute left in the game to nail the coffin shut. Rainer had 7 receptions for 54 yards. On defense, Wyatt Lancaster put up a monster 21 tackle game. From his defensive tackle position, Quinshunn Perry had an big-time 17 tackle night. Jayden Young and Jakavion Williams had 14 and 12 tackles respectively. GO COLTS!
