Saturday, October 28.
Dougherty led
the Centre defense with a season-high 10 total tackles, including
seven solo and three assisted. Of those 10 stops, five went for a
loss, including two sacks. The five tackles for loss are the most in
a single-game in the SCAC since Dylan Tarr and Jake Vieck of Rose-Hulman
had 6.5 and 5.5 respectively in a 30-10 victory over Millsaps on
Oct. 18, 2003. Dougherty also broke up a pass in Centre's
first home win against DePauw in school history. Dougherty
has now tallied 37 total tackles on the year, including 15 tackles
for a loss (second in the SCAC) and 4.5 sacks (tied for third in the
SCAC).
Harris, the defending SCAC
Defensive Player-of-the-Week, had another stellar game for the
Majors' defense this past weekend. Harris followed up a
seven-tackle, two-interception performance in a 31-7 win over
DePauw, with two pass breakups, three tackles and three
interceptions in a 35-18 win at Sewanee on Saturday. For the season,
Harris is the team's fourth-leading tackler (39), while
leading the team in pass breakups (9) and interceptions (5),
including a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown. He also has
one blocked kick on the season.
Hayes recorded 10 tackles for the second week in a row on
Saturday, leading Trinity to a 41-7 win over Rhodes College. He also
had a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown, which was the
third defensive score of the season for Trinity - all on
interceptions. Hayes and the Tiger defense allowed just 184
yards of total offense in the game, which includes a meager 28 yards
through the air. In the second quarter, Rhodes was putting together
its best drive of the game when Hayes picked off a second down pass
at his own 30-yard line and sprinted down the sideline for the score
that made it 24-0. For the season, Hayes is fourth on the
team with 36 tackles this season, and the interception was the
second of his career - both of which were this season.
