OVC MEDIA INFORMATIONOFFENSIVEKristian Wilkerson, WR • 6-1, 214, Sr. • Memphis, Tenn. • Southeast MissouriWilkerson had three catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yarder with four minutes to play in the game that helped seal Southeast Missouri's 24-21 win over No. 14 Jacksonville State. The win snapped JSU's 32-game regular season home winning streak, gave SEMO back-to-back wins over the Gamecocks and marked the program's fi rst win in Jacksonville since 1964. On a rainy day, Wilkerson caught a 15-yard touchdown with 1:07 left before halftime to open the scoring. With Southeast holding a 10-7 lead late in the fourth quarter he streaked for the 80-yard score, the fourth-longest touchdown catch in school history. The two touchdown catches moved Wilkerson's career total to 29, which ranks sixth in OVC history, six off the all-time record. He recorded his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season (and 10th of his career) and increased his career receiving yardage mark to 2,874 yards, 10th most in OVC history.

Others Nominated: JaVaughn Craig, Austin Peay; Isaiah Hill, Eastern Illinois; Zerrick Coo-per, Jacksonville State; LaMartez Brooks, Murray State; Steven Newbold, Tennessee State.

CO-DEFENSIVEFrank Sumpter, DB • 5-11, 185, R-Sr. • Cleveland, Ohio • Eastern KentuckyWith his team leading by seven in the fi nal 10 seconds of the game, Sumpter picked off a pass in the end zone to give Eastern Kentucky a 34-27 victory at Murray State. The Racers went 71 yards in 10 plays on the potential game-tying drive, marching to the EKU three-yard line before Sumpter picked off the Preston Rice pass attempt to end the game. The senior fi nished the game with fi ve tackles (including a tackle-for-loss).

CO-DEFENSIVEJustin Swift, OLB • 6-0, 209, Sr. • Memphis, Tenn. • Southeast MissouriSwift matches his career-high with 12 tackles (including 2.5 for loss) while adding a sack, a pass breakup and forcing a fumble as Southeast Missouri topped No. 14 Jacksonville State 24-21. The win snapped JSU's 32-game regular season home winning streak, gave SEMO back-to-back wins over the Gamecocks and marked the program's fi rst win in Jack-sonville since 1964. His forced fumble came deep in JSU territory in the third quarter and led to a Southeast Missouri fi eld goal fi ve plays later as the team took a 10-7 lead (and never trailed again). Swift keyed a defense that shutout the Gamecocks for two quarters while recording a season-best four takeaways.

Others Nominated: Dytarious Johnson, Eastern Illinois; Jalen Choice, Jacksonville State; Scotty Humpich, Murray State; Josh Green, Tennessee State; TJ Jefferson, UT Martin.

SPECIALISTAntonio Zita, K • 5-9, 170, So. • Fayetteville, Tenn. • Tennessee StateZita was 4-of-4 on fi eld goal attempts, including a career-long 50-yarder, as Tennessee State defeated No. 19 Austin Peay 26-24. It marked the team's fi rst win over a nationally-ranked opponent since 2013. Zita connected from 43, 22 and 36 yards in the second quarter and from 50 yards early in the fourth as the Tigers overcame a 15-point defi cit to win by two. Zita also kicked two extra points to fi nish the game with 14 points, tied for the third-most by a kicker in program history. The four total fi eld goals were tied for the second-most in a game in TSU history and tied for the most in a FCS game this season. Zita has made 17 fi eld goals this season, tied for 11th in OVC single-season history, and seven shy of the OVC single-season record. The 17 made fi eld goals are the most of any player at any level of NCAA football (FBS, FCS, Division II, Division III this season). He currently ranks second nationally in fi eld goals/game (2.13), fi fth in fi eld goal percentage (89.5%) and 17th in scoring (8.9 points/game). Only a sophomore, Zita has 29 career fi eld goals which is third in TSU history.

Others Nominated: Christiaan Masucci, Eastern Illinois; Samuel Hayworth, Eastern Kentucky; Jason Pierce, Jacksonville State; Steve Dawson, Murray State; Jake Reynolds, Southeast Missouri; Ryan Courtright, UT Martin.

NEWCOMERJosh Green, S • 6-0, 180, R-Fr. • Orlando, Fla. • Tennessee StateGreen intercepted a pass in the end zone with four minutes remaining to help Tennessee State top No. 19 Austin Peay 26-24. The win was the fi rst for the Tigers over a nationally-ranked opponent since 2013 and snapped a six-game losing streak for the team. The redshirt freshman fi nished the game with seven tackles (5 solo) including a tackle-for-loss. It marked Green's second interception in as many weeks.

Sgt. York Trophy Presented by Delta Dental and Farm Bureau Health Plans: This year marks the 13th of the Sgt. York Trophy presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans. The trophy (founded in 2007 by the Nashville Sports Council and OVC) goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four OVC football-playing schools located in the state of Tennessee (Austin Peay, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin). The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. The trophy goes to the team with the best record against the other schools (in case of a tie there will be co-champions and the actual trophy will be retained by the defending champion if they are involved in the tie or if the defending champion is not involved in the tie it will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy).

JSU's Cooper and Pearson on Walter Payton Award Watch List: Jacksonville State junior quar-terback Zerrick Cooper and senior wide receiver Josh Pearson are two of the initial 25 players named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List. The award, sponsored by STATS and fi rst awarded in 1987, is given to the top offensive player in the FCS and has twice been won by an OVC player: Eastern Illinois’ Tony Romo (2002) and Jimmy Garoppolo (2013). The Payton Watch List can undergo revision during the season. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations direc-tors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on the winner following the regular season.

Three OVC Players on Buck Buchanan Award Watch List: Three OVC players have been named to the 2019 Buck Buchanan Award Watch List by STATS. The award is given to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The OVC selections were Jacksonville State senior defensive back Marlon Bridges, Southeast Missouri senior linebacker Zach Hall and East-ern Kentucky senior defensive lineman Aaron Patrick. The watch list will have updates during the season. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on 25 fi nalists following the regular season. The award was fi rst bestowed in 1995 and the fi rst OVC player to win the honor was Jacksonville State's Darius

NCAA Division I Playoff Information: This season marks the seventh of an expanded 24-team fi eld for the NCAA Division I Football Championship; in 2010 the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoff fi eld expanded to 20 teams, up from 16 previously, and in 2013 the fi eld increased to 24 for the fi rst time. The expansion in 2010 to 20 teams was the fi rst since the fi eld grew from 12 to 16 teams in 1997. The 24-team fi eld is comprised of 10 automatic bids and 14 at-large berths. There are eight fi rst round matchups (16 total teams), while eight (8) teams receive a bye into the second round. For the 10th time in 2019, the championship game will be played in Frisco, Texas at Toyota Stadium, a 20,500-seat multi-purpose stadium. The Southland Conference serves as the host of the championship, which will be held on Saturday, January 11.

Recent Playoff Success: Beginning with the 2001 season the OVC went until 2013 without a FCS Playoff victory. But over the past six seasons OVC teams have performed well in the playoffs. In 2013 the OVC placed three teams in the fi eld for the fi rst time and each won at least one game with Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State advancing to the quarterfi nals (the fi rst time that had happened in the league since 1991). In 2015 Jacksonville State (who during that year became the fi rst OVC team ranked No. 1 in the Top 25 since 1999) won three playoff games to become the fi rst OVC team to advance to the National Championship game since 1982. Along the way JSU set an OVC record for points in a playoff game with 58 against Charleston Southern in the quarterfi nals, and then broke the record a week later in a 62-10 victory over Sam Houston State in the semifi nals. A year ago Jacksonville State and Southeast Missouri each won a game in the playoffs.

The selections were Austin Peay junior Jeremiah Oatsvall, Jacksonville State junior Zerrick Cooper and Southeast Missouri senior Daniel Santaca-terina. The 2019 CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year Trophy is a 22-inch K-9 optic crystal tower with eight-inch crystal football on top. All FCS players are eligible for the award. The award winner will be announced January 15, 2020.

Two OVC Punters Named to FCS Punter of the Year Watch List: Murray State's Steve Dawson and Southeast Missouri's Jake Reynolds are two of 28 players nationally named to the inaugural FCS Punter of the Year Preseason Watchlist by the Augusta Sports Council. The 2019 season will be the fi rst for the FCS Punter of the Year Award which is presented by the Augusta Sports Council. Based in Augusta, Georgia, the Council is also home to the Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation's top FBS punter each year. The FCS Punter of the Year Preseason Watchlist was chosen based on 2018 All-Americans, 2018 All-Conference selections, and conference nominations. Players were reviewed based on their eligibility and inclusion on their team's 2019 roster.

Bridges Named National Defensive Player of the Week by STATS (Sept. 16): Jacksonville State senior defensive back Marlon Bridges was named the National Defensive Player of the Week by STATS on September 16 for his play in the Gamecocks win over No. 4 Eastern Washington. With the team trailing 28-7 after one quarter, Bridges intercepted a pass on the fi rst play of the second quarter and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown to ignite the comeback. It marked his third career interception return for a touchdown, tying the school record. Bridges also forced a fumble, had nine tackles (3.0 for loss) and added a sack as JSU would win 49-45.

Fisher Named National Player of the Week (Sept. 2): Tennessee Tech sophomore quarterback Bailey Fisher was named the FCS National Offensive Player of the Week by STATS on Sept. 2 after his performance in a 59-58 double overtime victory over Samford. Fisher accounted for 463 yards of total offense, fi ve touchdowns (2 passing, 3 rushing) and three two-point conversions as Tennessee Tech overcame a 23-point second half defi cit. From the 0:51 mark in the third quarter, Fisher threw two touchdowns passes, rushed for three touchdowns, then also completed three of four 2-point conver-sions, including the game-tying (rush) to send the game to overtime. The fi nal two touchdowns and two-point conversions came in the fi nal 1:18 of regulation, as Tech had trailed 44-28 with 2:20 to play. After the teams traded touchdowns in the fi rst overtime, Samford took a lead on the fi rst possession of the second extra period. Following a touchdown run by Andrew Fleming, Bailey converted the win-ning two-point conversion, a pass to David Gist, to give his team the win. Fisher fi nished the game 31-of-44 for 415 yards and two touchdowns (no interceptions) and rushed 13 times for 48 yards and three touchdowns. The 415 passing yards and the 463 yards of total offense were each the third-best performances in TTU history. In addition, Fisher also punted the ball twice for 76 yards, pinning both inside the Samford 20-yard line. Fisher was responsible for 36 points, the most of any Division I player (FBS or FCS) in the country in week one.

Academic Success: During the past academic year (2018-19) there were 106 OVC football student-athletes who were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll for having a 3.25 grade point average or higher. In addition, 10 student-athletes were awarded the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for achieving perfect 4.0 GPAs. The OVC also awards a Team Academic Award for the football program with the highest percentage of players with a 3.25 grade point average or higher; that award went to Murray State for 2018-19.

A Look at the Coaches: Seven of the nine OVC coaches from last season return to their respective teams in 2019. Jacksonville State's John Grass, Tennessee State's Rod Reed and Tennessee Tech's Dewayne Alexander are currently coaching at their alma maters. The longest tenured coach in the league is UT Martin’s Jason Simpson who is in his 14th season with the Skyhawks in 2019. Simpson has 85 overall victories in his career, sixth-most in OVC history (seven away from tying for fi fth-place).

NFL Connections: As of October 14, there are 18 former Ohio Valley Conference players on NFL rosters (11 active, 4 practice squad, 4 injured reserve). Those players include former Eastern Illinois standout quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has won two Super Bowl Championship with the Patri-ots and is now the starter for the San Francisco 49ers, and Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a former First Round Draft pick who was a starter for the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII and who has been a Pro Bowl selection (he is currently on IR with the Redskins). Seven of the nine current OVC football schools have at least one player in the NFL.

The Gamecocks totaled 126 total points to out-distance Southeast Missouri, who ended the Gamecocks 36-game OVC win streak a season ago and earned an at-large berth into the FCS playoffs, who picked up the other four fi rst-place votes and was tabbed second (115 points). Eastern Kentucky was picked third (98) and followed by Austin Peay (70), Murray State and Tennessee State (61), UT Martin (60), Eastern Illinois (35) and Tennessee Tech (22).

ern Illinois had one. Returning players who were fi rst-team All-OVC selections last year (15 in total) were automatic selections to the preseason team this year. The squad also included eight players who were second-team picks in 2018. Of the 29 total selections, 26 were seniors and three were juniors.

Let’s Get It Started: The 72nd season of Ohio Valley Conference football got underway on Thursday, August 29. The OVC is made up of nine football-playing schools; since its beginning, 15 of the 18 total schools that have played football in the league have claimed at least one championship.

Instant Replay: For the third-straight year, the OVC will have instant replay for all non-conference and conference home football contests. The league has partnered with DVSport to implement replay which is defi ned by Rule 12 of the NCAA Football Rule Book.

I-AA No More: Although some people may still refer to it as I-AA football, the term that represents the level of Division I football in which the Ohio Valley Conference competes has been long retired. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game, the term Football Championship Subdivision (or FCS) is to be used. Teams who play at the FCS level can offer a maximum of 63 scholarships (Football Bowl Subdivision teams can offer 85) and compete in a 24-team playoff at the end of the season to determine the national champion.

The 2019 season marks the 13th of competition for the Sergeant York Trophy, an award created by the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference. The trophy is contested between the four OVC football-playing schools in the state of Tennessee - Austin Peay, Tennessee State, Tennes-see Tech and UT Martin - and goes to the team with the best combined record versus those schools in a given year.

The award is co-sponsored by Delta Dental of Ten-nessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans.

In the event of a tie, the award will be shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy.

The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the war York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational op-portunities for children in the state of Tennessee.

FCS FOOTBALL – FOOTBALL AT ITS BEST

FCS 101 – FCS and FBS are both Division I. The key differences are scholar-ship limits (85 for FBS and 63 for FCS), the number of allowable assistant coaches, and resources. FCS stands for Football Championship Subdivision. There are currently 130 FBS programs and 126 FCS programs.

THE FCS CHAMPIONSHIP – It started in 1978, as a four-team fi eld. Now in its 42nd year, the FCS Championship has 24 teams, and the title game is played each January in Frisco, Texas. ESPN provides television coverage of all rounds.

GREAT PLAYERS – The FCS has developed some of the fi nest athletes in the game. Arguably two of the greatest players of all-time (RB Walter Payton at Jackson State and WR Jerry Rice at Mississippi Valley State) played at an FCS school. The NFL’s all-time leading scorer – Adam Vinatieri of South Dakota State -- did, too. This year, a whopping 167 players from current FCS schools were on opening-day NFL rosters (that’s the equivalent of more than 3 full teams). Notably, there are 39 inductees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who represent current FCS institutions.

GREAT HISTORY – Two of the nation’s oldest Division I conferences compete at the FCS level. The Southwestern Athletic Conference was founded in 1920 and the Southern Conference was founded in 1921. Ivy League member Princeton played in the fi rst-ever college football game in 1869. 12 of the 13 FCS conferences have been established for more than 30 years.

GREAT TEAMS – This decade the FCS has averaged 9 wins each year against FBS programs. North Dakota State, which has won 7 of the past 8 FCS championships, has six-straight wins against FBS schools, which includes wins at Power 5 schools Minnesota, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and 11th-ranked Iowa.

GREAT STORIES – One of the greatest stories in NFL history has its roots in the FCS. Northern Iowa’s Kurt Warner was stocking shelves at a grocery store before his rise to NFL stardom, earning a Super Bowl title, an NFL MVP honor and a spot in the NFL Hall of Fame.

GAME NOTES: Southeast Missouri will host fi rst-place UT Martin for its an-nual Homecoming game in what should prove to be a key matchup in the OVC standings. The Skyhawks are the lone undefeated OVC team in conference play (and off to its best OVC start since 2006) while the Redhawks have had three close Conference games (decided by a total of 13 points) including topping No. 14 Jacksonville State last week. A year ago Southeast Missouri snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with a convincing 56-33 win in Martin. In that game Daniel Santacaterina threw for 386 yards and three touchdowns and Marquis Terry rushed for 123 yards and two scores for the Redhawks. UTM was led by Joe Hudson who passed for 296 yards and two scores and rushed for another. Despite last year's score the series has been close, with nine of the last 11 games decided by 10 points or less.

SCOUTING UT MARTIN: UT Martin continued its hot start and is now the lone undefeated team in OVC play after four weekends of Conference ac-tion. The Skyhawks defense held the Panthers to just 69 rushing yards, the fourth consecutive week they have achieved that feat, in winning 27-18. UTM tallied three interceptions in the win, the most in a game since it had four against EIU in the 2017 season. One of those was by D'Carrious Stephens who returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. Kicker Ryan Courtright connected from 32 and 46 yards to remain perfect on kicks this season (7-of-7 FGs and 27-of-27 PATs). UT Martin tallied just 241 yards of total offense with 133 of that coming on the ground, including 109 by Peyton Logan who had his second-straight 100-yard rushing game. Logan is the only OVC player with a 100-yard rushing game over the past two weeks. The win was the 85th for coach Jason Simpson, tying him with Bob Carroll (1957-75) for most in program history. As a team UTM ranks fourth nationally in defensive touch-downs (3), seventh in turnovers lost (6), ninth in punt returns (17.5 yards/return), 12th in passes intercepted (9) and fumbles lost (2) and 15th in red zone defense (68.2%). Despite being just outside the poll last week, even with their win, the Skyhawks stayed just outside the poll at No. 26.

SCOUTING SOUTHEAST MISSOURI: For the fi rst time since 1964 South-east Missouri won a football game in Jacksonville, Alabama, topping No. 14 Jacksonville State 24-21. It marked the second-straight season the team had bested the Gamecocks and the win snapped JSU's 32-game regular season home winning streak. It marked the sixth win over a ranked opponent for SEMO head coach Tom Matukewicz, the most of any coach in program history. Played in a steady rain, both offenses struggled to put up points until the fourth quarter. Southeast scored fi rst (a 15-yard pass from Daniel Santacaterina to OVC Offensive Player of the Week Kristian Wilkerson) and led 10-7 until late in the fourth quarter. Santacaterina and Wilkerson then connected on an 80-yard pass play to put the Redhawks up 17-7. The two teams would then score 21 combined points over the fi nal 2:15 to account for the fi nal score. Wilkerson fi nished with three catches for 129 yards and the two scores. He now has 29 career receiving touchdowns (sixth in OVC history) and is now 10th in OVC history for total receiving yards (2,874). Justin Swift was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week after matching his career-high with 12 tackles (2.5 for loss), a sack and forcing a fumble that led to a SEMO fi eld goal. As a team Southeast Missouri is sixth nation-ally in fumbles lost (1) and red zone offense (92.9%). After being out of the Top 25 for a week, Southeast is back at No. 24 in the STATS poll this week.

GAME NOTES: Austin Peay will travel to Tennessee Tech for a key Sgt. York Trophy series matchup. The series is contested between the four football-playing OVC schools. A loss by either team would be their second of the series this year and eliminate them from winning the trophy. After Tennessee Tech had won four in a row and seven of eight in the series, Austin Peay has claimed the past two meetings, including 41-10 a year ago. In that meeting, Austin Peay outgained Tennessee Tech 566 to 298 in the 31-point victory.

GAME NOTES: It is Homecoming at Eastern Illinois on Saturday as the Panthers, in search of its fi rst win of the season, hosts Eastern Kentucky who is looking to keep pace with the rest of the leaders in the OVC. The two teams have combined for 29 OVC Championships and 37 FCS Playoff berths. Eastern Illinois had won three in a row in the series until Eastern Kentucky pulled out a 31-23 home victory a season ago. In that meeting the Colonels scored 21-straight points to turn a 17-10 defi cit into a 31-17 advantage midway through the fourth quarter. EKU was able to rush for 216 yards as LJ Scott led the way with 151 yards and a touchdown. Jaelin Carter caught a pair of touchdowns for Eastern Kentucky, one from Austin Scott and one from Alphonso Howard. Isaiah Johnson had 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns for the Panthers.

SCOUTING EASTERN KENTUCKY: After a loss to league-leader UT Mar-tin the previous week, Eastern Kentucky remained in the thick of the OVC hunt with a 34-27 road win over Murray State. EKU pulled away in the third quarter when Alonzo Booth scored on touchdown runs of 11 and 1 yards; it marked his ninth and 10th rushing touchdowns of the season, which ranks him eighth nationally. Daryl McCleskey Jr. added a game-high 73 yards and Parker McKinney passed for 256 yards and a pair of scores for the Colonels offense. EKU's defense limited the Racers to just 22 net rushing yards on the day. Aaron Patrick had three tackles, a sack and a key interception that set up a Colonels score in the third quarter. He ranks fi rst in the OVC and 15th nationally in sacks (0.86/game). Despite the fact the team led 34-10 late in the third quarter, Murray State was able to pull within seven points and on its fi nal possession of the game marched from its own 26-yard line to the EKU 3-yard line. But a fi nal pass attempt was picked off by Frank Sumpter in the end zone to clinch the game. Sumpter, who also had fi ve tackles, was named OVC Co-Defensive Player of the Week. Entering this week the Eastern Kentucky team ranks sixth nationally in kickoff returns (25.95 yards/return) and fumbles lost (1), 10th in red zone defense (65.4%) and 12th in passes intercepted (9).

SCOUTING EASTERN ILLINOIS: Eastern Illinois dropped its eighth game of the season, falling 27-18 at league-leading UT Martin. Despite not picking up a victory so far this year, the Panthers have kept every game close, with only two of its seven FCS games being decided by more than 11 points. EIU would be doomed by three interceptions, all of which came in the fi rst half. Even with the turnovers, EIU pulled to within 24-18 in the fourth quarter before falling by nine points. Sophomore newcomer Isaiah Hill led the offense with 15 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown. The 15 catches were the most by an EIU player since Erik Lora in the 2013 FCS Quarterfi nals against Towson. Hill ranks second in the OVC and 35th nationally in receptions/game (5.5). Junior linebacker Dytarious Johnson key a defense that limited the UTM offense to 241 yards of total offense (after it had 553 the week prior). He forced a fumble that led to a touchdown in the fi rst quarter and added eight tackles, two sacks and two quarterback hurries. He leads the OVC and ranks 27th nationally in tackles-for-loss/game (1.5).

But the Redhawks scored on an 80-yard pass play with 4:21 to play and despite two touchdowns in the fi nal 2:17 of the game the Gamecocks came up three points short. Zerrick Cooper fi nished the game by passing for 347 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for a score. It marked his fi fth 300-yard passing game of the season.
