* For the second time in two weeks this season, Sewanee has a player on the national D3football.com team of the week. This one was after a loss. The Tigers’ second honoree was place-kicker Michael Jacobs, who was 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and added three extra points last Saturday at Washington & Lee. The 3-pointers covered 20, 42 and 44 yards, and the junior now is 13-for-16 for his Sewanee career.
