ALEX BIDDLE | RANDOLPH-MACON | SO | SAF | ASHBURN, VA.
Biddle, a sophomore from Ashburn, Va., helped the nationally 10th-ranked Yellow Jackets continue to leave no doubt in improving to 5-0 on the season and 2-0 in league play. While the RMC offense continues to score points at prolific levels, the Randolph-Macon defense has been equally dominant in allowing just 54 points through five games at 10.8 per contest. Biddle helped limit Averett in RMC's 59-7 win on Saturday as he tied for team-high honors with five tackles (four solo) to go with his first two interceptions of the season. Both picks came just before halftime within 34-seconds of each other to preserve RMC's 28-7 halftime lead. His first came after the Cougars took over possession on RMC's half of the field. Biddle corralled an errant pass and returned it 12 yards to the AU 48-yard line. Biddle's second interception followed a 4-and-out by the RMC offense. After he jarred the ball loose on a Cougar's deep pass attempt on their first play, Biddle collected his second interception ranging and diving to his right to secure the ball. For the season, Biddle has made 14 tackles (10 solo) with Saturday's two interceptions and two pass breakups.

ANDREW PUCCINELLI | HAMPDEN-SYDNEY | SR | QB | GLEN ALLEN, VA.
Puccinelli, a senior from Glen Allen, Va., earns his second ODAC weekly honor of the season after tossing four touchdown passes for the second time this season in a 48-10 triumph over Ferrum on Saturday. Puccinelli was not just prolific in throwing for 296 yards and the four scores, but he shook off his first interception of the season by completing 84.0-percent of his passes in guiding the Tigers air attack on 21-of-25 passing. That figure falls just outside the ODAC's all-time top-10 in single-game completion percentage (minimum 15 passes thrown). Puccinelli spread the ball around to nine different receivers with Mason Cunningham serving as his favorite target. The pair connected eight times for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Those scoring plays covered 38 yards and 24 yards in the second quarter as Hampden-Sydney built up a 21-10 lead by halftime. Puccinelli and Braeden Bowling hooked up on a third long TD play covering 29 yards in the third quarter. The Tigers' final TD pass of the day went to Austin Fernandez on a three-yard play. For the season, Puccinelli leads the ODAC in several passing categories including touchdowns (12), completion percentage (72.7%), yards (1,067), and yards per game (266.8). He is second in passing efficiency (188.4) and completions (80-of-110).

• OFFENSE
  • Bridgewater running back Kennedy Fauntleroy churned out his fourth straight 100-yard game with 107 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in the Eagles 24-10 win at Shenandoah. He continues to lead the ODAC in rushing yards (689).
  • Guilford quarterback Bailey Baker was 24-of-37 passing for 352 yards and three touchdowns against just one interception in the Quakers 48-25 loss at Washington and Lee.
  • Randolph-Macon quarterback Drew Campanale was 10-of-14 passing for 202 yards and two long touchdowns to David Wallis (57) and Zach Bowman (67).
  • Washington and Lee running back Jacob Romero ran for a career-high 133 yards and a touchdown, his third game with more than 100 yards on the ground this season. He led a Generals effort that racked up a season-best 410 yards rushing (6.1 per carry) in their 48-25 win over Guilford.
