Peiffer Clears 100 Tackles

Peiffer cleared the mark when he had a game-high 11 tackles at Eastern Illinois (Nov. 10). He has registered more than 100 tackles in back-to-back seasons, becoming the first Redhawk to accomplish that feat since Adam Casper had 108 in 2006 and 112 in 2007. Peiffer ranks second in the OVC and tied for 13th in the nation in tackles through 10 starts this year. He now has 110 on the season.

Redshirt-freshman quarterback Scott Lathrop ran for 102 yards and one touchdown at Eastern Illinois (Nov. 10). Lathrop averaged 3.8 yards on 27 carries en route to his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. He has run for over 100 yards in three of his last five starts. Lathrop is the Redhawks second-leading rusher with 705 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns this season.
