• Western Carolina earned its fi rst win over a ranked FCS opponent since 2006 Saturday when it topped No. 17 Samford 38-34 in Cullowhee, North Carolina. The Catamount defense allowed 620 yards of total of-fense on the day but got the crucial stop it had to have with the game on the line, keeping the Bulldogs out of the end zone after they earned a fi rst-and-goal at the Western Carolina 3-yard line with 20 seconds left.

• Samford quarterback Devlin Hodges had a big day in the losing eff ort, throwing for 516 yards and four touch-downs. The 516 passing yards were a school record and the third-most in a game in SoCon history. His top target on the day was Chris Shelling, whose 245 receiving yards were the 10th-most in a game in SoCon history.

• The Citadel, which was idle last week, earned its 500th program win Sept. 16, downing ETSU 31-25 in Johnson City, Tennessee.

• Woff ord coach Mike Ayers picked up his 200th win at the helm for the Terriers on Saturday. Ayers, in his 30th year at Woff ord, is 200-136-1 at the school and 211-157-2 for his 33-year career overall.

• Three league teams are nationally ranked this week, with Woff ord leading the way at No. 7 in both the FCS Coaches Poll and the STATS FCS Top 25. The Citadel is No. 11 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 8 in the STATS poll after an idle week, while Samford slid to No. 23 in the coaches poll and 25th in the STATS rankings after dropping a road game at Western Carolina.

• Five of the six SoCon games thus far this season have been decided by one possession. Since the start of the 2013 season, 59 of 130 (.454) league games have been decided by one possession.

• Chattanooga and Furman both got in the win column with blowout victories Saturday. The Mocs snapped their three-game season-opening skid with a 63-7 win at VMI, while the Paladins stopped a three-game slide of their own with a 45-14 win at Colgate. The wins were the fi rst for coaches Tom Arth (UTC) and Clay Hendrix (Furman) at their respective schools and the fi rst of Hendrix’s career.

• Western Carolina running back Detrez Newsome leads FCS in all-purpose yards per game (216.50) and rushing yards (557) and is second in rushing touchdowns (seven).

• Furman quarterback P.J. Blazejowski leads the FCS with 10.72 yards per pass attempts, while Western Carolina quarterback Tyrie Adams is third nationally with 10.09 yards per attempt.

• On Saturday, several schools from the conference will be wearing special arm patches in honor of the AFCA’s Coach to Cure MD program. This is the 10th year coaches around the country join together to raise funds and awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Fans are encouraged to donate by texting “CURE” to 50555 or visiting CoachtoCureMD.org.

SOCON PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Tyrie Adams, R-So., QBWestern Carolina

Western Carolina quarterback Ty-rie Adams led the Catamounts to a 38-34 upset of No. 17 Samford on Saturday, accounting for 464 yards of total off ense. Adams threw for 312 yards, counting a 59-yard touchdown among his 19 comple-tions, for his fourth career game of 300 passing yards or more. The redshirt sophomore from St. Petersburg, Florida, also ran for a career-high 152 yards and another score on 20 rushes. His 152 yards on the ground were the most in the league on the week and good for an average of 7.6 yards per at-tempt.

JJ Jerman, Jr., KETSU

ETSU kicker JJ Jerman booted a pair of fi eld goals and converted both of his point after touchdown attempts in Saturday’s 26-23 over-time win over Mercer. The junior from Seymour, Tennessee, kicked a 25-yard fi eld goal in the second quarter to put the Bucs ahead 10-0 and converted from a career-long 49 yards in the fourth quarter to halt the Bears’ 20-point scoring run. The 49-yard fi eld goal was the fourth-longest in program history and pushed Jerman into fourth in school history with 25 made fi eld goals. His two PATs moved him into a tie for fi fth in program his-tory with 49.

Keion Crossen, Sr., DBWestern Carolina

Western Carolina defensive back Keion Crossen had eight tackles and two pass breakups in the Catamounts’ 38-34 win over No. 17 Samford on Saturday. The se-nior from Garysburg, North Caro-lina, saved his biggest play for last, breaking up Samford quarterback Devlin Hodges’ fourth-and-goal pass from the 1-yard line in the back of the end zone as time ex-pired to preserve Western Caro-lina’s fi rst win over a ranked op-ponent since 2006. Crossen had six solo stops and a tackle for loss among his eight tackles.
