  •  APSU was 0-2 the last two weeks visiting the Prairie State, losing to Eastern Illinois, 63-7, and this week to Illinois State, 55-6.
  • Freshman walk-on Otis Gerron came off the bench to lead the Govs in rushing with 38 yards on 12 carries. He was instrumental in leading the Govs on their only scoring drive.
