For the year, the 'Roo offensive line is helping the team rush for 325 yards per game and has given up just one sack.

Four of his receptions went for 20 or more yards.
Dale, a defensive lineman, set a Millsaps single-game record and tied a conference record with 4.5 sacks against Belhaven as part of six total team sacks in the game, adding eight tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in the 27-10 win.
Reville, a safety, Reville picked up a fourth-quarter fumble and returned it 31 yards to set up Trinity's offense for an improbable comeback.
