He said it: "(Being No. 10 in history) hasn't really set in yet. I feel like after this playoff run is said and done, I'll look back on it and just be like, 'Wow.' It's just one of those things where it's just hard to wrap your head around right now."
Coach said it: "When we had a big enough lead that I felt I could exhale a little bit, I asked our coaches in the press box, 'How many touchdowns does Caleb have?' I was thinking he had four or five touchdowns. Then pretty quickly, one of the coaches said, 'He's got eight.' I was like, 'Oh my gosh.' It was unbelievable to me that he had many." -- Rodney Webb
