Statistical spotlight
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. Mary Hardin-Baylor's Jarvis Thrasher and Quincy Daniels set an NCAA all-division record for single game rushing yardage by two teammates in UMHB's 69-30 victory over Mississippi College. Thrasher ran for an ASC-record 324 yards on 12 carries and Daniels added a career-high 199 yards on just eight attempts. The combined total of 523 yards tops the previous Division III and NCAA all-divisions record of 519 yards set by Carey Bender and Jason Whitaker of Coe on Oct. 9, 1993. Daniels went 93 and 87 yards for touchdowns, with Thrasher adding an 89-yard run for a score and an 81-yarder. Wartburg's Neil Suckow scored three touchdowns on just 15 touches against his former team as the Knights defeated Coe 27-3. Suckow transferred from Coe to Wartburg late in the offseason. He caught a 5-yard touchdown pass, had an 8-yard TD run and returned a punt 66 yards for a score. Against Springfield, there's not many opportunities for interceptions, so St. John Fisher Steven Stepnick made do with 17 tackles, 10 solo, and two tackles for loss in the Cardinals' 35-14 win. St. John Fisher held Chris Sharpe out of the end zone for just the second time in 19 games. Watch the archived game from D3Cast. Mt. St. Joseph defensive back Phil Poetter intercepted three passes and returned two for touchdowns in the Lions' 45-24 win against Manchester. Poetter has returned four interceptions for scores in his career. Scroll down for the weekly ATN podcast and more weekend coverage. | |
