Two scores in win White accrued 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 127 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 59-14 win over Fresno State. He'd also add a touchdown on a blocked punt.

Impact White had a huge game in the Rebels' conference opener, returning a blocked punt for a touchdown in the first quarter before hauling in two more scores through the air.

Overall, White's up to 253 yards and five touchdowns on 20 receptions through four games this year.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal output in Week 3 White notched three receptions (on nine targets) for four yards during Friday's 23-20 victory against Kansas.

While it's certainly a disappointing result for White managers, his nine targets were by far the most on the team.
