TOTAL YARDS: Frisco outgained Corpus Christi 272-212 in total yards, marking the first time since the Katy victory in week two the Thunder's outgained their opponent.

The 72 points were the third highest in team history and most since a 76-28 whomping of San Angelo on 6/16/07 ... On the flip side, Corpus Christi's 31 points was the Hammerheads' lowest output since a 44-24 loss at CenTex in 2006.

NOT SO SPECIAL TEAMS: With Corpus Christi going for it on fourth down nine times and kicking off deep just twice KR Kevin Lenford had a quiet night with just two returns for 53 yards. He did have a 34-yarder that set up Frisco's first touchdown.

PLAYMAKER IN THE HOUSE: Former Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin received a rousing ovation from the DeJa Blue Arena crowd when he was announced and handled the coin toss. The Hall of Famer watched the game from the suite of owner Jake Reed.

HOME FINALE: The 5-2 homestand is one win better than last year's 4-3.
