REJUVENATED RUNNING GAME ... With much attention to the Duhawk passing game so far this season, the running game has helped set the pace in two of the three games this season. In the season opener against Elmhurst College, the Duhawks rushed for 128 yards, before taking a step back in week two against the University of Wisconsin-Stout, rushing for -27 yards. However, that running game was back up to 101 yards against Augustana College, with junior Nate Carrier rushing for 112 yards.
BEHIND ENEMY LINES ... The Coe College come into this weekend’s game with a record of 1-2, with their lone win coming against Cornell College, and losses to Wheaton College and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Offensively, Coe is led by junior quarterback Josh Rekers, who has passed for 933 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season. His favorite target is junior Trevor Heitland, who has 281 reception yards and a pair of touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball Coe is led by senior linebacker Mitchell Berendes, who has totaled 32 tackles on the year, followed by junior Mark Atwater, with 25 tackles.
CRYSTAL-CLEAR HIGH-DEFINITION ... During the offseason, thanks largely in part to an anonymous donation, the Loras College Athletic Communications Department upgraded its hardware and technology and will now provide high-definition broadcasts of its home contests all season long.
