Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith previously hit these marks during Alabama's national championship game in January 2021, while New York Giants wideout Malik Nabers accomplished the feat for LSU against Mississippi State in 2023. Toney consistently created separation from the Stanford secondary and generated yards after the catch throughout the opening two quarters.
