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.

Occidental defensive end Alex Wertheimer harrassed the La Verne offense, as he tallied four sacks for a loss of 20 yards to go along with a pair of quarterback hurries and a pass broken up in a 14-13 win. Six of his seven tackles were for a loss and he pushed the Leopards back a total of 25 yards. La Verne finished the afternoon with 5 yards on 27 carries.

Bryson Tucker returned to running back for Mary Hardin-Baylor and ran for 218 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the fourth-best single-game total in school history. Tucker entered the week with no stats from scrimmage, rather, he had 28 tackles from his safety spot. Tucker was pressed into service as a running back in midseason in 2008 as well and finished with 672 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Albright had seven sacks for minus-38 yards, 11 tackles for a loss for minus-46 yards, a forced fumble, one fumble recovery, four interceptions, blocked a punt, and broke up five pass attempts in a 31-17 win.

Manchester might be the only conference unbeaten given less of a chance of winning its conference than Otterbein is in the OAC. The Spartans beat Hanover 30-8 on Saturday, moving them to 4-3, 4-0 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Manchester lost to Trine, Earlham and Kalamazoo to open the season in non-conference action and finishes the season with Mount St. Joseph and Franklin before traveling to Anderson. The four HCAC wins are Manchester's most in the past decade.
