Statistically Speaking - Week Five

Perfectly spreading the wealth while in the zone
As pointed out in my D3football.com's Around the Region this week, the Eagles' offense is a perfect 23-for-23 in the red zone so far this season, scoring 19 touchdowns and hitting on field goals of 19, 22, 22 and 41 yards. What's even more impressive is that 11 different players have either rushed for or caught the 19 touchdowns.

The next most perfect while in the red zone is No. 1 Mount Union who is 16-for-16. The team having the most with converting all but one is No. 3 Capital at 19-for-20. St. Olaf is the closest to the Eagles with conversions having 21, but did so on 24 attempts.

Movin' on up
Following his 105-yard performance against Hampden-Sydney last Saturday, Winston Young is now only 80 rushing yards from tying all-american Jason Lutz (1998-01) for No. 7 on Bridgewater's all-time rushing list.

Jeff Highfill's 168 passing yards against the Tigers moved him to No. 9 on the career passing list past Mike Arnette (1970-73). He's now only 61 yards from passing Jacob Lewis (2004-05) for No. 8.

Josh Knight recorded another pass deflection this past Saturday, moving him into a tie for sixth all-time with 15 for his career.

David Clements tallied the lone sack of the day for the Eagles against H-SC, giving him 11.5 for his career and moving him into a tie for No. 9 all-time.
