Capers accounted for eye-popping numbers during Duquesne’s 54-35 road win over Pioneer League member Jacksonville. Putting forth a performance rarely seen in NEC circles, the senior receiver pulled in nine passes for 235 yards and four touchdowns. The 235 receiving yards, which are the third-most in a single game by a FCS player this season, stand as the highest single-game total by a NEC receiver since November 12, 2005 when Robert Morris’ Tyjuan Massey went for 272 yards against Sacred Heart. Averaging 26.1 yards per catch, Capers recorded either a first down or a touchdown on all nine of his grabs. He scored on receptions of 11, 65, 44 and 15 yards.
