TIFFIN NOTES

To have success again this week, the Dragons must finish drives. After struggling in the red zone at Ashland, the Dragons bounced back last week against Thomas More and scored in all six red zone trips. Taking care of the ball will be important as well as the Dragons did not commit a turnover in the win last week. TU will look to suffocate ODU's offense as the Dragons last week allowed only 93 passing yards and secured two interceptions with one being a pick six by Darius Hylick.  

RUSHING: Ronald Blackman (leading rusher in the G-MAC averaging 86.2 per game): 99 carries for 431 yards and four touchdowns...Nick Johnson: 23 carries for 122 yards (averaging 40.7 per game).  

PASSING: Alex Johnson (reigning G-MAC Offensive Athlete of the Week): Completed 103-of-152 attempts for 1,231 yards for 11 touchdowns with four interceptions and is averaging 246.2 ypg through the air which is second in the G-MAC.  

RECEIVING: Jalen Thomas (1st in the G-MAC): 36 catches for 487 yards and three touchdowns...Javier Wills: 17 catches for 227 yards and one touchdown...Ronald Blackman: 22 catches for 135 yards and four touchdowns...Joey Zalewski: 11 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns...Ethan Holbrook: 13 catches for 178 yards and two touchdowns. 

INTERCEPTIONS: Justin Wimpye leads the team with three which is tied for first in the G-MAC. Chucky Lewis, Danny Mason, and Darius Hylick all have one each and Hylick has the only pick six following a 25-yard touchdown return in the win against Thomas More last week.  

KICKING: FG: Ben Rudolph has converted 5-of-7 field goals with a long of 37 and both misses have been blocked. Rudolph is now 17-of-18 on PATs following his first miss of the season last week. PUNTING: Joseph Weiers (5th in the G-MAC) is averaging 42.3 yards per punt on 14 tries for a total of 592 yards and has booted three inside the 20-yard line with two punts of over 50 yards.  

DEFENSE: Kenneth Byrd is leading the team in solo tackles (14), assisted tackles (21), and total tackles (35). The 30 total tackles tie him for sixth in the G-MAC...
Other double-digit tacklers include Jacob Tuiemeh (27), Isaiah Funches-Foster (23), Khris Walton (23), Malik Baker (21), and Chucky Lewis (20)...Tuiemeh leads the team in forced fumbles with two and has also recovered two fumbles.
