WEEK FIVE RECAP
The Loras rushing offense that previously recorded six touchdowns in consecutive games was held out of the end zone by Simpson, falling 31-21 on Homecoming. Senior Bob Kelly recorded his fourth consecutive game with at least 300 passing yards, finishing with 304 and two touchdowns. Defensively, the Duhawks were in the backfield repeatedly, finishing with four sacks and a total of nine quarterback hurries.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Against Simpson, Loras' ground game struggled to gain a foothold, an area that must be addressed before kickoff on Saturday. It'll be easier said than done as the Knights average 83.3 rushing yards per game on defense. Offensively, Matt Sacia handles the duties under center and enters Saturday with 1,330 yards through the air and 13 touchdowns. The Duhawks will need to do whatever they can to disrupt Sacia's timing in the pocket.
 
MR. ALL-PURPOSE
Junior defensive back has built a name for himself ranking second nationally in combined kick returns with 635 yards through six games. Along with his efficiency on special teams, the Duhawks also rely on him as a downhill hitting safety, for which he leads the team with 39 tackles this season.
 
GENERAL SCHULTE REPORTING FOR DUTY
Ranking fourth in yards per game in the Iowa Conference with 92.8, redshirt senior Josh Schulte has established himself as the primary target for the Duhawk offense. Schulte also leads the Duhawk receiving corps with four touchdowns. Senior Bob Kelly has leaned on Schulte's reliability each week, finding the Anamosa native for large gains, drawing the opposing defense and doubling as a lethal red zone target. Entering Saturday, Schulte has hauled in 43 catches for 557 yards and four touchdowns.
