3. Jaylen Warren rushes for 150 yards and three touchdowns
When these two teams met back on Oct. 2, one of the biggest stars of the game was Cowboys senior running back Jaylen Warren.

With Warren, he has shown this season that he is fully capable of rushing for over 150 yards and picking up multiple touchdowns in a game.
