Tj Munter Delivers Electric Performance Vs Greenfield
Drexel/Miami had to settle for second on Friday, but Tj Munter sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Munter as he forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Greenfield had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Munter it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Munter saw Greenfield), he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 14 total tackles (5.0 for loss).

Devin Steeley Turns in Season-Best Effort
Greenfield was led to victory by Devin Steeley, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Steeley rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Greenfield's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Steeley has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 22.8 receiving yards per game.
