  10/12 WEEK 6 BIG SKY OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ty Pennington, QB, Northern Arizona,...Pennington did it all on Saturday, putting together one of the most impressive individual performances in program history. Pennington accounted for six total touchdowns, four of which came on the ground and one each by throwing and receiving. His six touchdowns accounted for is the most by a Lumberjack since RJ Martinez (7) threw for five and ran for two more versus Southern Utah in 2021. Pennington completed 26-of-38 passes for 322 yards, with the yardage marking a season-high and his third-highest career total. With the 'Jacks down their top two running backs, Pennington shouldered the rushing load and became the first Lumberjack since Kevin Daniels in 2021 to rush for four touchdowns in a game. Pennington logged a career-high 16 carries for 52 yards. - Big Sky Football

  10/12 WEEK 6 BIG SKY CO-SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Lindsey Graves, KR, Northern Arizona,...With Montana closing to 35-32 early in the fourth quarter, Graves fielded the Grizzlies kickoff off a few bounces in the end zone and broke through the coverage down the Montana sideline for a 100-yard touchdown. Graves, who received the season's first Special Teams Player of the Week award following his 100-yard kick return touchdown against Eastern Washington, ranks fifth in the FCS with 34.0 yards per kickoff return. He is also one of two FCS players with multiple kick return touchdowns this season and is the first Lumberjack in program history with multiple 100-yard kickoff returns just seven games into his collegiate career. - Big Sky Football

  09/14 WEEK 2 BIG SKY CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Deliyon Freeman, DB, Northern Arizona,...In a game full of defensive standouts, Freeman rose to the top. He set a career-high with 13 tackles, including seven solo tackles, and was involved in two of NAU's six turnovers in the Family Weekend victory against UIW. Freeman also had one tackle behind the line of scrimmage and one pass breakup. Freeman forced a fumble in the second quarter, punching the ball out of Damashja Harris' hands from behind. One drive later, Freeman intercepted Emmett Brown, setting up the Lumberjacks right outside the red zone with under a minute left until halftime.

Freeman's first career interception was a key one as it immediately followed an NAU fumble of its own deep in the red zone. The interception led to Myseth Currie's 13-yard touchdown reception from Ty Pennington, which sent the 'Jacks into the locker room with a 24-7 advantage. Freeman's play was part of a defensive performance that notched six takeaways in a game for the first time since 2007. NAU is tied for first in the FCS with 11 takeaways on the season. For Freeman, the Big Sky Player of the Week honor is his first of his career. The Hawai'i transfer is tied for second on the team with 24 tackles and has started all three games at nickelback. - Northern Arizona Football

  Ty Pennington hit Nassim Isaac with a short touchdown pass on a fourth-and-goal play in the fourth quarter and the Northern Arizona defense held on downs inside its own 10-yard line to preserve a 34-27 victory in a season and Big Sky opener on Saturday night. The 2-yard touchdown was the first catch for Isaac in his first career game. It gave NAU a 34-27 lead. The Lumberjacks, ranked 25th in the FCS, won after briefly trailing by 21 points in the second quarter. Their rally was jump-started by Lindsey Graves' 100-yard kickoff return following EWU's touchdown that had made the score 24-3. Following an interception, the Lumberjacks drove 33 yards capped by Quran Gossett's 2-yard touchdown run to make it 24-17 at halftime. Northern Arizona added a short field goal in the third quarter, followed by Pennington's 30-yard touchdown pass to Jeter Purdy for the Lumberjacks' first lead of the game, 27-24, early in the fourth quarter.

Eastern Washington tied the score at 27 on Soren McKee's 37-yard field goal with 10 minutes remaining in the game. After the go-ahead score, NAU's defense forced a three-and-out followed by the Lumberjacks' own three-and-out. The Eagles had one last chance, taking possession at their 20-yard line with 1:52 remaining. They drove to the 8-yard line before the Lumberjacks forced incomplete passes on third and fourth downs to hang on for the win. Pennington threw for 164 yards with two touchdowns and was intercepted once. Gossett had 103 yards on the ground and Purdy had 105 yards receiving. Eastern Washington's Nate Bell passed for 307 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. - AP College Football
