The Scoop

Best Overall Defensive Performance - Texas A&M-Kingsville
The Javelinas' defense limited ECU to just 87 total yards on the evening, 96 passing and -9 rushing. TAMK was especially tough in the second half, with ECU running just 16 plays on 5 possessions, picking up just one first down. The Javelinas sacked Tyler Vanderzee 5 times, had two interceptions, forced four fumbles (two of which they recovered), and did not allow a TD, despite ECU twice starting drives inside the TAMK 20 yard line. TAMK has not allowed a defensive TD since the first quarter of the opening game.
