Win No. 650
Saturday's win enabled SJU to become the eighth program in Division III history to reach 650 (650-250-24 all-time record). The Johnnies already own Division III's best winning percentage, among programs with 75 seasons played or more, at .716.



Another Record for Erdmann
Senior quarterback Jackson Erdmann (Rosemount, Minn.) finished 17 of 32 passing for 308 yards and five touchdowns. The performance was his seventh 300-yard passing game of the season and 11th of his career, which broke his tie with Alex Kofoed (2004-07) for the most in SJU history. Erdmann now has seven games of 5 passing touchdowns or more in his career.

Mohr Yardage
Sophomore wide receiver Matt Mohr (Chisago City, Minn./Chisago Lakes) recorded his second 100-yard receiving game of the season with 108 yards on three catches. He opened the scoring for SJU with a 66-yard touchdown 3:19 into the game. The 108 yards matched his first 100-yard performance, which was an identical 108 yards on three receptions Oct. 26 at St. Olaf. 



Two Trost TD's
Sophomore running back Henry Trost (Lindstrom, Minn./Chisago Lakes) found the end zone twice in the game and now leads the Johnnies with 12 touchdowns this season. He scored on an 11-yard carry with 7:42 remaining in the opening quarter and caught Erdmann's fifth and final touchdown of the day from seven yards out with 5:51 left in the third quarter. Trost finished with 70 total yards on eight touches (six carries and two catches) and has scored a rushing touchdown in each of his last five games, for a total of seven during that span. 

Two for T.J., Too
Sophomore wide receiver T.J. Hodge (Miami, Fla./Doral Academy) finished with six receptions for 62 yards and two touchdowns. Erdmann found him for an 11-yard touchdown with 23 seconds remaining in the first half and again on third-and-10 for a 30-yard touchdown on the Johnnies' first drive of the second half. Hodge ended the regular season tied with classmate Ravi Alston (Lake Elsinore, Calif./Vista Murrieta) for the team lead in catches (52) and finished second in receiving yards (749) and touchdowns (5). 

Pick-Six
Sophomore cornerback Tommy Deters (Maple Plain, Minn./Orono) made sure his first collegiate interception made an impact in the box score as he ended the scoring for SJU with a 26-yard pick-six with 4:20 left in the third quarter. The interception return for a touchdown was the second in as many games for SJU, thanks to senior cornerback Chris Harris' (Lake Elsinore, Calif.) 100-yard pick-six last Saturday (Nov. 9) at Hamline. Harris squashed an RHIT threat form SJU's 25-yard line with his team-leading sixth interception of the season with under a minute to play in the second half.

Senior linebacker James Inman (Bismarck, N.D./Shiloh Christian) tallied his first interception of the season on the Fightin' Engineers' (6-4, 5-2 HCAC) opening drive of the second half and senior safety Sam McNamara (Goodhue, Minn.) posted his first collegiate interception on the next drive.
