ODAC Football Play of the Week: Week 9 - Bridgewater
Bridgewater made a lot of big plays in its comeback towards a 42-41 win over Guilford on Saturday. One of those was by defensive lineman J.P. Utz, who dropped back into zone coverage and made the most of his opportunity away from the line of scrimmage. He pulled in an errant pass at his own 18-yard line and returned it 64 yards to not only snuff out a potential GC scoring chance, but also flip field position with 9:44 to play. -

He not only blocked the kick, but he recovered the loose ball and sprinted 77 yards to paydirt for a 10-point swing and a 27-24 advantage at the intermission. -
ODAC Football Play of the Week: Week 9 - Emory & Henry
Trailing Hampden-Sydney, 17-14, at halftime, Emory & Henry didn't waste any time in going ahead for good. On their first possession of the second half, Wasps' quarterback Kevin Saxton capped a 7-play 70-yard drive with a perfectly waited 23-yard pass to the back of the end zone and into the hands of Derrick Yates. The touchdown put E&H ahead, 21-17, on the way to a 31-25 win. It also marked the sixth straight game in which Yates has registered a receiving score. -
ODAC Football Play of the Week: Week 9 - Washington and Lee
Washington and Lee may not have registered an offensive touchdown in its 18-10 setback to Randolph-Macon, but that didn't keep the defense from getting involved. Pressure forced an errant throw from the R-MC signal caller, and Will Dyson proved the beneficiary as he hauled his ODAC-best sixth interception of the season and returned it 72 yards to put W&L within striking distance with 8:59 to play. It marked the third pick-six of year for the Generals' defense.
