The Muskies (6-2 overall, 4-0 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference) shook off a slow start to roll past Concordia Wisconsin 48-21 last week, keeping the Cheese Bowl trophy for the second straight year. Kezlow Smith (Sr.-Pontiac, Mich.) rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns and also added another touchdown receiving, Dezmen Morse (So.-Wisconsin Dells, Wis.) had career highs with eight receptions for 177 yards, and Michael Whitley (So.-Vidalia, La.) was terrific again with 383 yards passing and four touchdown passes plus another touchdown rushing, on the way to winning NACC Offensive Player of the Week honors for a conference-record fourth straight week.
 

The Regents (2-6 overall, 0-4 NACC) were defeated at home by Benedictine 20-7 on a mud-filled field last week. Rockford limited the Eagles to just 246 yards of offense and trailed just 13-7 late in the fourth quarter until fumbling deep in its own territory, allowing the visitors to add a touchdown with less than three minutes to play. The Regents struggled offensively, gaining just 112 yards for the game-including 57 on a touchdown run by Tremaine Berry in the first quarter-and a total of three first downs.
