4) Faulkner University at 10 (6) Georgetown 27 Defense is the name of the game. It has been a huge staple in Georgetown College tradition of success and certainly flexed its muscle Saturday against No. 4 Faulkner University in the NAIA Game of the Week. The No. 6 Tigers (4-0) had 13 sacks, one short of the national record, and handed the visiting Eagles (5-1) a 27-10 setback. This is a huge feat facing one of the most prolific scoring offenses and a quarterback that is averaging 399 yards of total offense. "The whole plan was to get to him (Terrell Robinson)," said GC defensive coordinator Shan Housekeeper. "No one has done that this season. We knew if we were able to pressure him, make him think, the ball swings in our favor." Swing it did. Faulkner came in as the fourth best offensive team in the nation, averaging 44.6 points per game. The team did not have a touchdown until early in the fourth quarter when an 81-yard pass play made it 20-10. "This is a great win, but honestly it is a long road still ahead and we have to keep getting better," Cronin said. "We play Campbellsville next week and it is always a battle between the two Tiger teams." Photo by Richard Davis

Bluffton 20, Hanover 14 - It took a little Hanover to beat Hanover and that is just what Bluffton used on a frigid Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014.

The lengthy scoring march was aided by a 34-yard pass from quarterback Kaleb Scott to wide receiver Josh McLaughlin and a four-yard run by Nutter on 4th & 1. Ashland, which entered the contest ranked among the GLIAC leaders in rushing, tallied all six of its TDs and 382 of its 552 total yards on the ground.

For the first time ever, TU (3-2, 3-2 GLIAC) defeated Wayne State 26-23, posting another road victory over a tough GLIAC opponent. It is also the first time Tiffin has ever had 3 GLIAC victories in the same season. To make it even more sweet for the Dragons, they led for most the contest, only trailing in the game for a total of 97 seconds. The defenses dominated on both sides early, as Tiffin managed two field goals from Tomislav Derezic covering 31 yards apiece to jump out to a 6-0 lead late in the first half. Tiffin managed three trips into the red zone but came up with just 6 points. Still, the Dragons held the lead and didn't allow Wayne State on the board until the 1:20 mark of the second quarter, when the Warriors scored on a 12 yard run to take the lead at the half 7-6. Overall Tiffin gained 409 yards to WSU's 320, including 291 through the air on a blistering 25 of 32 attempts. They also controlled the clock, holding the ball for 34:49 to the Warriors' 25:11. Pipkin had perhaps his best collegiate performance yet, connecting on 25 of 32 passes for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions. He added 40 yards rushing, while running back Chris Watkins had his best collegiate showing, rushing for a tough 74 yards on 12 carries (6.2 yards per rush).
