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.
Justin Horning had 10 catches for 207 yards, including two big catches on the game-winning drive, one the go-ahead score with 1:41 left in Widener's 22-17 victory at Curry. He had a 46-yard reception that went down to the 2-yard line and caught a 4-yard pass for the decider. He is the first wide receiver for Widener to have at least 200 yards receiving since future NFL draftee Michael Coleman did it against Juniata on Nov. 3, 2001. Sophomore linebacker J.D. East helped lead Wheaton to a 29-26 victory at Bethel in the season opener for the Thunder, recording eight total tackles, including seven solo stops. Among his eight tackles were three tackles for lost yardage of minus-12 yards, including a sack. East also tallied and interception and recovered a fumble.

Lining 'em up Around the Region While the SCAC may not be ready for a wholesale changing of the guard, DePauw started off on the right foot and Austin College's running game is starting to jell. The Kangaroos have won six of their last eight games and last week shut down the vaunted McMurry Air Raid offense by dominating the time of possession. Jason Bowen has more in this week's Around the South. Through two weeks it's hard to really know for sure who's back, which former contenders will return to that status in 2009. In hopes of finding out, Around the Region visits with Linfield and St. Norbert this week. In Around the West, Adam Johnson focuses on Linfield's big win against Hardin-Simmons and the change in fortunes for quarterback Boehme that got the Wildcats there. And in Around the Midwest, Clyde Hughes finds St. Norbert isn't ready to give up the underdog label in the Midwest Conference. And one of the big upsets of the week is still reverberating through the East, after Ithaca's loss at the hands of Union. Adam Samrov talks to both sides in Around the East. That and more in this week's Around the Region columns. | |||
