Denison, 41-27, in the NCAC opener for both teams.

Kenyon junior safety Mason Stabler (Littleton, CO/Kent Denver School) 
paced the Lord defense in a thrilling, 39-36, defeat of Chicago. Stabler

OFFENSE:
Denison senior quarterback Mike Barnes (Gates Mills, OH/Mayfield) led the 
Big Red to a strong start with a single-game record 270 yards rushing in 
the Big Red's 49-27 defeat of Kalamazoo. Barnes scored on three touchdown 
runs on 17 attempts, and passed for 175 yards and another score. The 445 
yards of total offense was the best performance since Greg Neuendorf 
totaled 470 against Wabash in 2000. The single-game rushing mark tied 
Clay Sampson, who carried for 270 yards in 1979. In all, the Big Red 
rolled up 542 yards of offense, and held Kalamazoo to 41 yards on the 
ground. 


DEFENSE:
Hiram freshman linebacker Jon Hull (Buford, GA/MIll Creek) led the Terrier 
defense in a 20-14 overtime victory over Gallaudet. He made eight solo 
tackles, two tacles for a loss of six yards, forced a fumble, recovered a 
fumble and broke up two passes. The Terriers snapped a 26-game losing skid, 
and held Gallaudet to 83 total yards - all passing - and zero net rushing 
yards.
