Here’s a look back at college football’s craziest numbers of the past week:
Kayvon Britten, RB, Tarleton State (21 carries, 273 rushing yards, four touchdowns at North Alabama)
Britten may only be 5-foot-7, but if you think that lack of size makes him easy to bring down, ask North Alabama’s defense how it felt trying to tackle the FCS Preseason All-American this past Saturday.
With a ridiculous average of 13 yards per carry, Britten absolutely shredded the Lions in a 28-14 Texans win in which he put up a school-record amount of yardage. His biggest touchdown of the night, however, ended up being his first one.
With Tarleton State pinned down at its own 4-yard-line, Britten got a carry, found a seam and was gone for an electric 96-yard score, the Texans’ longest rushing touchdown since joining Division I. Britten then added two more touchdowns in the third quarter both from short range (two yards) and from a ways out (65 yards), helping TSU get in front as UNA was keeping it close in the second half.
Britten’s final score from nine yards out with 3:22 remaining in the game iced the result for the Texans, whose only defeat is to FBS Baylor as they look to follow Britten’s lead and romp their way to a possible United Athletic Conference championship.
Gunnar Gundy, QB, Emporia State (49-for-74 passing, 454 yards, three touchdowns vs. Missouri Western)
It’s not about the yardage or touchdowns that Gundy had for the Hornets this past weekend — although 454 yards and three scores through the air is certainly nothing to sneeze at — but it’s about all the volume he had.
Gundy, who is playing his first season at the D-II level after three years of being coached under his dad, Mike Gundy, at Oklahoma State, has immediately hit the ground running at ESU with 1,215 passing yards through four games to rank fourth in D-II as of Tuesday afternoon.
Last Saturday’s performance against Missouri Western, however, was Gundy’s official announcement that he has arrived to be one of D-II’s top gunslingers.
Gundy improved the No. 11-ranked Hornets (in this week’s AFCA Coaches Poll) to a surprising 4-0 as he spearheaded ESU to a comeback win over the Griffons, breaking the school record for completions in a game and having the 11th-most in any game in D-II history. His 87 total offensive attempts (when you throw in Gundy’s 13 rushing attempts for 39 yards) also smashed the previous ESU record of 78.
The Hornets also have statement victories against Angelo State and Pittsburg State this season, positioning themselves well to potentially be D-II’s biggest breakout team of 2024. If those hopes end up coming to fruition and ESU is in the hunt for the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association title down the line, Gundy will be a big reason why.
Henry Schouten, LB, Bentley (19 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery vs. Southern Connecticut State)
Before we dive deep into his numbers from this past weekend, keep in mind that before this season Schouten, a junior, had played in just two career games and recorded no defensive statistics in his career with the Falcons.
But last Friday night against Southern Connecticut State in Bentley’s Northeast 10 opener, Schouten had a type of impact that most players in college football history would’ve loved to have had at one point in their careers.
The Florida native was a beast for Bentley, forcing a fumble that he recovered in the first quarter and eventually leading the Falcons to a 34-24 victory and 3-0 start to the year. And while the Owls tried to make things interesting late by running in a touchdown with 13:10 left in the game to make it 27-24, Schouten helped the Falcons’ defense hold SCSU scoreless the rest of the way, having the game-sealing sack on the Owls’ final offensive possession that made them turn it over on downs and ice it for Bentley.
Schouten went from zero career tackles entering 2024 to 30 in three games this season, putting him likely on pace for plenty of individual accolades if his play holds up. Bentley will host New Haven this weekend in a showdown of the top two favorites in the NE10 preseason poll, giving he and the rest of the Falcons a major test to prove that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the league.
Trevor Bopp, QB, The College of New Jersey (27-for-42 passing, 553 yards, five touchdowns at Muhlenberg)
We go to D-III to break down Bopp’s big day under center for the Lions, and the division’s current national passing yardage leader absolutely lit it up in a 55-52 barnburner of a loss to Muhlenberg.
In one of the best games that took place in all of college football last weekend, TCNJ was down 41-17 to the Mules at one point before Bopp nearly led the Lions to a miraculous comeback, finding Ryan Gill for a 60-yard strike in the second quarter and Malin Jasinski for a 66-yard rocket in the third quarter.
But Bopp really began to spearhead TCNJ’s charge in the fourth quarter as it faced a 17-point deficit entering the final 15 minutes. In that stretch, Bopp completed three more long scores to Alex Dille (42 yards), Jasinski (66 yards), and Gill (31 yards), the last of which came with just 3:29 to play and made it just a three-point deficit for the Lions to make up.
TCNJ then got the ball back with a chance to win it and Bopp did all he could, driving the Lions 56 yards in 53 seconds with no timeouts, but what would’ve been a game-tying 38-yard field goal at the end was blocked, allowing Muhlenberg to survive.
It was a heartbreaking ending to a program record-setting passing day for Bopp, but his status as a difference-making quarterback in D-III this year is unchanged.
Kyle Haettich, DB, Brockport (five tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, one touchdown vs. Wilkes)
Brockport as a whole may have needed to blow off some steam after narrowly losing 27-21 at a ranked Susquehanna in Week 2, and Haettich in particular did exactly that with a massive performance in the secondary in the Golden Eagles’ 31-17 triumph against a different Landmark Conference team in Wilkes.
The fifth-year defensive back from Buffalo only had two career picks in 17 previous games for Brockport entering this past weekend, but matched that total in one game against the Colonels as the preseason All-American had both of his interceptions in the final three minutes.
With the game on the line in the fourth quarter and Brockport holding a 24-17 lead, Wilkes made it to the red zone and were threatening to tie the game up. The Golden Eagles forced a fourth down and made the Colonels throw it to keep the drive alive, and that’s when Haettich pounced for a 93-yard pick-six that crucially made it a two-score game with time winding down.
If Haettich’s first interception wasn’t enough, Wilkes on its final possession — now in desperation mode and trying to make some magic happen — threw in Haettich’s direction again, in which he picked off a pass once more and put the exclamation point on a strong return to form for Brockport heading into its bye week.
