Danny Donley, Drake
Lawrence threw a career-high six touchdowns in San Diego’s 63-10 PFL victory at Jacksonville, Saturday. He needed only three quarters to toss his six scores on 18-of-24 passing for 268 yards. Lawrence found three wide receivers for his six touchdowns, tossing two to each. It was the fifth six touchdown outing by a FCS quarterback this season and the second by a PFL signal caller in 2017. Lawrence’s 251.3 pass efficiency rating was the ninth best in the FCS this season.
Lynch intercepted a pair of passes to help Drake win a PFL defensive battle, 19-14, at Marist, Saturday. His first interception stopped a Marist drive just before it entered Drake territory in the second quarter. Lynch’s second pick came in the fourth quarter and halted the Red Foxes at the Drake 15-yard line. He also had a game-high 11 tackles (eight solo). Lynch’s lone tackle for loss also provided a pivotal stop, coming on 4th-and-1 at the Drake 23-yard line and forcing a turnover on downs to start the second quarter.
Donley was responsible for 13 points in Drake’s 19-14 PFL victory at Marist, Saturday. He connected on all four of his field goals, becoming one of seven kickers in the FCS this season to go perfect while making four or more field goals. Donley connected on kicks of 20, 30, 27 and 22 yards in addition to making his lone PAT try. He is the first Bulldogs kicker to make four field goals in a game since Billy Jenssen in 2011.
