Each week during the regular season we look at some of the key
statistical performances from the weekend in Division III football,
highlighting one per region.
Ferrum quarterback Marcus Mayo had a hand in six touchdowns: He
threw two, he rushed for two more, and to top it off, he returned
two punts (66 and 85 yards) for scores in a 51-45 triple-overtime
win against Methodist. Mayo finished with 41 yards rushing and 104
yards passing.
Knox linebacker Kevin Beck had three interceptions in the Prairie
Fire's 31-21 victory against Grinnell, Knox's first of the
season. The three interceptions by Beck accounted for half of
a team-record tying six interceptions. Two of Beck's picks came
with Knox still trailing in the second quarter.
Running back Shea Dwyer broke Wesleyan's single-game rushing record
for the second week in a row after finishing with 255 yards on 31
carries in the a 27-20 win over Colby. His total includes an
89-yard touchdown run nominated for Play of the Week
consideration.
Washington U. junior linebacker Nick Hillard recorded a career-high
15 tackles in the Bears’ 24-20 win against No. 19 Wabash.
Hillard also added three tackles for loss, a sack and a breakup in
the victory.
