Leach may have single-handedly kept Dayton among the ranks of the FCS unbeatens with two interceptions in a 20-15 PFL victory at Morehead State. His first interception came in the Flyers end zone on the fourth quarter’s second play and his 17-yard return helped set up Dayton’s eventual game-winning drive. Then, with the Flyers clutching that lead, Leach intercepted a pass to end Morehead State’s final drive and secure the win. He finished with seven tackles (six solo), including a tackle for loss. That tackle for loss was part of a sequence that bogged down the Eagles opening drive deep in Dayton territory and forced a field goal.

Brian Akialis, Butler
Senior | Punter
Buffalo Grove, Illinois
Akalis had an impressive day with all five of his punts ending inside the opponent’s 13-yard line to in Butler’s 42-21 PFL victory against Valparaiso. He finished the day with just a 35.4-yard punting average and his longest punt was a 40-yarder, but he kept the Crusaders bottled up. After opening up with a punt downed at the 13-yard line, he followed that with consecutive punts that forced Valparaiso to start at its 1, 2 and 3-yard line. Akialis finished the day with a punt out-of-bounds at the Crusader 10-yard line. Valparaiso did not score on the drive following any of his punts.
