All hail the King: D’Eriq King’s historic performance is about more than just numbers

The numbers show the obvious: a completely dominating performance.

535 total yards of offense, 420 passing yards with five touchdowns to four different pass catchers, 105 rushing yards on 15 carries.

D’Eriq King became the first quarterback in Miami history to rush for 100-yards in a single game and the second quarterback to throw for 400 yards and five touchdowns in a game. He is the only FBS player with five touchdown passes and zero interceptions in a single game with multiple schools over the last 25 seasons, which he did with Houston in 2018. And, King now has three career games with five pass touchdowns and 100 rush yards, the most of any FBS player over the last 20 seasons, according to ESPN Stat & Info.
