He intercepted another pass later in the game to increase that mark to 31. He also had four solo tackles in a 27-0 win at Grove City.

CB Tim Filter, Sr., UW-Oshkosh
Filter intercepted two passes in 10th-ranked UW-Oshkosh's 28-13 victory at fifth-ranked UW-Whitewater on Oct. 20. Both of Filter's takeaways came during the second quarter. On the opening play of the period, Filter made a diving grab at his own 7-yard line. Less than eight minutes later, Lee Brekke tossed a pass down the left sideline that Filter tipped to himself. Filter returned the interception 19 yards to the UW-Whitewater 30. The Titans used that field position to score a touchdown moments later and gain a 21-0 lead. Filter also made six tackles (five solo).

Gabbard was 2-for-2 on field goals and hit his only extra point in a 13-12 win against Marietta, snapping a 32-game losing streak. He hit a 31-yarder on the final play of the third quarter and a pressure-packed 35-yarder with 31 seconds left in the game to win it.
