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.

No. 6 Central has won six games in which they've been outgained this season, but they didn't need to do it a seventh time on Saturday. The Dutch rolled up 571 yards of offense, the fourth highest in team history, in a 40-14 win over Cornell. Vance Schuring racked up 132 yards on the ground while quarterback Tim Connell threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns, setting new school records for touchdown passes (25) and yards (2,236) in a season.

No. 15 New Jersey ran over Cortland State both literally and figuratively to take control of the NJAC race. Chase Misiura and Dan Dornacker combined for 209 yards on 41 rushes (5.1 yards per carry). Not surprisingly the Lions had more than a 15 minute time of possession advantage (37:44 to 22:16) in a 30-0 shutout victory.

Matt Denny booted his seventh field goal of the year of at least 40 yards, tying a Carthage school record with a 49-yarder in a 38-28 win at Millikin. The Red Men kicker is already Carthage's career leader in field goals (39) and kick scoring (239 points). He needs three more this year to pass Millikin's Andy Beals for the CCIW all-time mark (31) and is 7-for-8 from 40-49 yards.

Quarterback Cedric Townsend gave his team a high five with three touchdown passes and two touchdown runs as North Carolina Wesleyan knocked off USAC conference champion Christopher Newport 42-32. Townsend erupted for 132 yards running and 215 yards passing. His 13th rushing touchdown of the year extended the Battling Bishops' lead to its final margin.
