A couple offensive highlights include Junior Nate Rauda with four catches for 160 yards and three touchdowns as well as Junior Carl Pearson having two catches for 37 yards. On the defensive side, two players, Matt Kelly and Eric Brake, each had ten total tackles. Blake Sechler had 15 total tackles and one interception.
