On Saturday, McLaughlin threw for six touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a 42-3 road win over Texas Lutheran. McLaughlin was 19-for-27 for 313 yards and connected with four different receivers in the end zone. His six TDs were a single-game high this season and just one shy of tying the all-time conference record.
