Three ODAC schools remained undefeated through the third week of
gridiron action. Emory & Henry, Hampden-Sydney and
Randolph-Macon all have handled their non-conference schedules
without a blemish, as has Bridgewater, but the Eagles were idle
this weekend (bye week). R-MC quarterback Austin Faulkner
fired five touchdown passes in the Jackets 42-14 win over
Shenandoah. E&H defensive back, Daniel Woods, picked off
a pair of passes in the second half in the Wasps' 20-10 win over
UVA-Wise.
