Wells posted his second five-touchdown performance of 2017 leading Jacksonville to a 35-21 PFL victory against Davidson, Saturday. Dropping back, Wells went 11-for-18 passing for 249 yards and threw two touchdowns. But he was as impressive on the ground with 18 carries for 99 yards and three touchdowns. Wells scored the game’s first touchdown with a 45-yard run. He then led the Dolphins on scoring drives of 95 and 93 yards, extending the lead to 21-0. Wells tacked on a 38-yard scoring run before halftime and then a 14yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. In addition, Wells punted twice and averaged 35 yards per punt with one downed inside the Wildcats’ 20-yard line.

Making his first appearance on defense this season, Simon picked off two passes to pace Dayton’s defense in a 20-10 PFL victory against Drake, Saturday. His two interceptions were the bulk of a four-interception day by the Flyers and helped limit Drake’s passing game to just 12 completions on 40 pass attempts. His first interception came on the second play of the fourth quarter and he returned it 28 yards to set up the Dayton offense. Simon’s second pick ended Drake’s next-to-last drive. He also was credited with two tackles and a pass breakup.

Smith averaged 43 yards per punt to help Dayton down Drake, 20-10, in PFL action, Saturday. Five of his seven punts were downed inside the Drake 20-yard line with two punts going for more than 50 yards. Smith punted three times from inside Drake territory but when punting from inside his own 25 he boomed an average of 56.7 yards on three punts. Drake attempted just one return on his seven punts but muffed the catch and the ball was recovered by Dayton.

OTHER TOP PERFORMANCES •

XAVIER COLVIN, LB (Butler) – Colvin had just five tackles in Butler’s win but two of those were sacks, including a strip-sack on the game’s opening drive, and also had a fumble recovery in the second quarter to set up another scoring drive.

•

MATIAS GASC, P (Stetson) – Averaged 43 yards on his four punts, including a 46 yarder, and saw one downed inside the Brown 20-yard line in a Stetson win.

•

ALEX JESKE, QB (Dayton) – Making his season’s first start, Jeske ran for a touchdown and passed for another, completing 12-of-20 passes for 197 yards, leading Dayton to its first PFL win this season.

•

COLIN McGOVERN, QB (Stetson) – Despite playing without his two leading receivers, McGovern completed 26 of 36 passes for 269 yards and no interceptions and ran for two touchdowns in Stetson’s first win.

•

CARLOS MERRITT, DB (Campbell) – Merritt racked up 10 tackles in Campbell’s win and intercepted a pass for the third consecutive game.

•

DANIEL SMITH, QB (Campbell) – Smith threw for four touchdowns and ran for another in Campbell’s win, completing 18-of-27 passes for 257 yards.

•

TREVOR SMITH, K (Davidson) – Smith converted on each of his three PATs and recovered his own onside kick to help set up the Wildcats second touchdown of the contest.

2017 PIONEER FOOTBALL LEAGUE WEEKLY REPORT NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND THE PFL PFL’s 25TH CAMPAIGN | The 2017 season marks the 25th year for the Pioneer Football

League – the nation’s only non-scholarship, football-only NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference. The league will feature 11 teams each playing an eight-game schedule to determine the league champion and recipient of the automatic bid to the 2017 NCAA FCS Championship.

SAN DIEGO ON CUSP OF RECORD | San Diego, which has won 15 consecutive PFL contests, returns to action in Week 7 needing one win to break the PFL record for consecutive league wins – a record it currently holds. The Toreros won 15 consecutive PFL contests during the 2005-07 seasons, including an unbeaten 2006 PFL title campaign. HELLO OLD FRIEND | Week 6 across the PFL will feature four contests that will pit teams against one another for the first time since 2014. The league’s biennial schedule rotation will see Jacksonville-Butler, Campbell-Dayton, Marist-Valparaiso and Morehead State-San Diego matchups return to the fold this season. DARE TO LOOK AHEAD | With three league unbeatens at the season’s halfway point, the

wait for further clarity in the PFL championship race may not have to wait beyond October. Jacksonville will have the honor of facing the other two unbeaten squads in Weeks 8 and 9, hosting San Diego (Oct. 21) before traveling to Campbell (Oct. 28). However, San Diego and Campbell do not face each other in 2016, leaving the possibility the league’s tiebreaker may be called into action at season’s end if the Dolphins cannot take control themselves.

DAYTON’S CHAMBERLIN BREAKS MENTOR’S MARK | Dayton head coach Rich Chamberlin notched his 56th PFL victory in his 75th league game, Oct. 7, when the Flyers defeated Drake. He broke the PFL record for coaching victories set by his former head coach Mike Kelley, who posted 55 league wins (71 games) during his storied career. They are the only two coaches in PFL history to record 50 league wins. SMITH PUNTS WAY TO NATIONAL HONOR | Dayton junior kicker Sean Smith became the second PFL athlete to earn national weekly honors, Oct. 8, when he was named the STATS FCS Special Teams Player of the Week. His 43.0 yards per punt against Drake saw five of his seven tries downed inside the Drake 20-yard line and two booming for more than 50 yards. DOLPHINS DO RUN | A quick look at the NCAA FCS team leaders reveals Jacksonville’s

offense is the subdivision’s leading rushing offense, averaging 318.6 yards per game on the ground. The Dolphins rank fifth in rush attempts (275) and 14th in yards per rush (5.63). Jacksonville has three runners ranked among the FCS Top 100 in yards per game and five ranked among the Top 150.

CAMELS DEFEND | Meanwhile, Campbell enters the season’s second half ranked No. 5 among FCS teams in both total defense (258.3 ypg) and scoring defense (12.5 ppg). Both those Top 5 rankings are due largely to its No. 2 ranking in third-down defense (22.5%) and owning the nation’s best red-zone defense, which has allowed opponent’s just seven scores in a meager 14 opportunities. TOREROS PETERSEN LEADS THE CHARGE | San Diego defensive lineman Jonathan Petersen continues to be a force, entering the season’s second half ranked in the FCS Top 5 in both sacks (t-3rd, 1.20 pg) and tackles for loss (5th, 1.9 pg). Among FCS active career leaders, he ranks No. 1 in total sacks per game (0.80) and No. 2 in tackles for loss per game (1.46). FRESHMAN RUSHING LEADERS | The PFL’s youth has run rampant in the season’s first half, as Campbell redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Smith leads the league with 106.8 yards per game (10th in FCS). Davidson freshman running back Wesley Dugger is 17th nationally at 95.0 yards per game. And proving age has its worth, Dayton senior running back Tucker Yinger rounds out a trio of PFL runner in the FCS Top 20 with his 94.0 yards per game (19th). OPPORTUNISTIC CAMELS AND RED FOXES | Campbell and Marist are among a group of just 25 FCS teams with multiple defensive touchdowns this season. The Camels lead the FCS with four defensive scores (two interceptions, two fumbles). Marist has two defensive touchdowns (one interception, one fumble) and is tied for 11th among FCS squads. QUARTET OF KICK RETURNERS TO FEAR| The PFL boasts four kick returners that have

proven to be dangerous in 2017. Morehead State’s Jaunyea Tarver (1st, 634 yards), Valparaiso’s Bailey Gessinger (5th, 530), Dayton’s Christian Searles (26th, 377) and Butler’s Cam Cooper (31st, 353) are each ranked among the FCS Top 40 in Combined Kick Return Yardage (punt and kick returns).

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.
