He also completed 7-of-18 passes for 156 yards and another touchdown with his 445 total offensive yards ranking 17th among FCS players. Smith’s four scoring runs went for three, 20, 80 and 18 yards, the 80-yard burst providing the game-sealing points.

Tufano intercepted a pass in the end zone and forced two fumbles to help Jacksonville hold off Valparaiso, 20-17, Saturday. On Valparaiso’s final drive and facing first-and-goal, his interception for a touchback ended the threat and sealed the Dolphins’ win. In the second quarter, Tufano forced a fumble on 4th-and-1 inside Jacksonville territory to end another Crusaders drive, the ensuing JU drive resulting in a touchdown. He also forced a fourthquarter fumble at the Dolphins five-yard line to help stall a Crusaders drive that resulted in a field goal. Tufano also had 10 tackles (eight solo), including a sack on a 3rd-and-4 play that forced a Crusaders punt to start the third quarter.

Waltz became just the second FCS kicker to make five field goals this season in Dayton’s 36-17 victory against Marist, Saturday. He scored the game’s first six points before capping the Flyer’s 30-point first half with a 30yard field goal.

c – co-champions # - Jacksonville vacated its 2010 co-championship as part of penalties for PFL rules violations. Notes on PFL Championship: From 1993-2000 – and returning to the format in 2005 – the PFL was composed of one division and the championship was awarded to the team with the best conference record. From 2001-2005, the league expanded and split into two divisions with the divisional winners, who were the teams with the best record against divisional opponents, facing off in a championship game, the winner of that game was awarded the league’s championship.

NOTES: The PFL records on this page reflect PFL penalties imposed against Jacksonville (# - vacated 30 wins during the 2010-14 seasons) and San Diego (% - vacated 7 wins during the 2013 season). In accordance with NCAA policy, the wins and ties, but not the losses, of the penalized team are dropped from its PFL record only. The won-lost records for each of the opposing teams are not changed when games are vacated. In addition, the overall records for both teams were not changed.
