Frosh Force. Fourteen true freshmen played against the Weenies. Twelve of them have had their redshirts burned. It seems Stephen Herron and Tristan Sinclair were held out to preserve redshirt eligibility; they can still play against ND and retain their shirts. Speaking of redshirts, I have reassigned the eligibility years of both Walker Little and Andres Fox given that they have used this year as their redshirt year, though that will likely not end up mattering in the case of Little, at least.
- TE Bradley Archer played in his second game on offense, and probably on ST. He got the first reception of the year, for zero yards.
- ILB Aeneas DiCosmo played in his third game on ST. Per SMF, the two tackles credited to Austin Jones were probably DiCosmo's as they share #20.
- WR Elijah Higgins played on ST and on O as a blocking WR. He has played in in all eleven games this year, but has not yet had a ball thrown to him.
- OG Jake Hornibrook started at RG for the fifth time, playing in his sixth game of the season.
- RB Austin Jones carried the ball six times for 23 yards. He had two tackles credited to him, but they were likely Aeneas DiCosmo's given that Jones does not play K or P cover, and the two share #20. Austin has played in all eleven games this season.
- S Brock Jones, a former walk-on, played in his ninth game on ST, and recorded a tackle.
- S Spencer Jorgensen, a walk-on, played in his ninth game on ST, and did not record a tackle.
- CB Kyu Blu Kelly started at CB for the eighth week, and had two tackles; not his best game. He has played in all eleven games this season.
- CB Zahran Manley played in his seventh game of the season on ST and on D. He did not record a statistic.
- S Jonathan McGill played on defense as the starting NB for the eighth week. He had two tackles. He's played in all eleven games this season.
- OT Barrett Miller played in his tenth game of the season, starting at LG for the seventh time.
- RB Nathaniel Peat caught one ball for six yards, and returned a kick for 17 yards. He played in his eleventh game of the season.
- OT Walter Rouse started at LT for the tenth time. He has played in all eleven games this season.
- P Ryan Sanborn, a former walk-on, punted three times for a 32.7 yard average, though that had something to do with our punting in Kal territory; two of Sanborn's punts landed inside the opponent's 20 yard line. He also kicked two clutch FG (48 and 44 yards) without a miss, and handled four kickoffs with two of them going for touchbacks. He's played in all eleven games.
