SCOUTING THE MARAUDERS

Chas Alisauckas recorded 1 ½ sacks last week, giving him 3 ½ on the season. While he didn't get a sack against Kutztown, Tyler Tate's 9 ½ still rank second in the PSAC and his 13 ½ are ranked fourth. Isaiah Onuschak, with 9.1 tackles per game, slipped to No. 2 in the PSAC in tackles per game, but his 4 ½ sacks are more than any other player ranked in the top 25 of tackles. 
• Rafael Lozada has been a productive tackler in each of the last two weeks, totaling 13 stops and a TFL against Shippensburg and then making 11 tackles with a career-hgh two TFL and his first career sack against Kutztown. Fellow linebacker Garrett Cox has come into his own as well. After totaling three tackles in the first two games combined, he's made at least six stops in five of the last six and has a tackle for loss in four of the last six games. Against Shippensburg, Cox recorded two sacks, a forced fumble and a career-high three tackles for loss. 
• Millersville hasn't had much luck with the quarterback position this season. Four different players have started a game under center. Jack Stagaard earned his first career start last week against Kutztown and went 16-for-30 with three interceptions. 
• Freshman Timmy Smith scored his first career touchdown at Kutztown, scoring on a one-yard run. Smith has logged a carry in four consecutive games and now has 11 carries for 58 yards. 
• Last week, Christan Drayton led Millersville with 50 receiving yards--highest second-highest total of the season. Drayton has caught a pass in every game. Tight end Eli Workinger made a career-high three catches for 47 yards last week. After making just two catches in the first seven games, Workinger has made five grabs for 107 yards in the last two.
