On Tap
The Cardinals remain at Greene Stadium this week for a tough match up with the Bulldogs of Truman State.  
YOU SHOULD NOTE
CARDINALS vs. BULLDOGS
This will be the 22nd meeting all-time between Truman State and the Cardinals with the Bulldogs leading 11-8-2. Jewell has not won since 2014 with Truman taking seven of the last eight matchups. Typically, a good game, the average score in the NCAA era has been 31-19 in favor of the Bulldogs. The largest margin of victory came in 1916 with Jewell winning 39-0. Last season the Cardinals fell on an 18-yard touchdown run with just 30 seconds on the clock. 
 
RECORD WATCH
On Saturday Will Schneider surpassed Brad Strauss for most rushing attempts by a quarterback in the NCAA era with his 216th. He already holds the mark for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback and is just four shy of the total mark of 18, held by Trejuan Mask (2014-17). 
 
Brock Geisz enters week 8 with 187 career tackles, surpassing former teammate Quayde Bauman (2015-17) and just 21 off the NCAA era record of 208 held by Jimmy DeStefano (2012-14). 
 
With his two field goals last week redshirt junior Dalton Dye moved up to second in the NCAA era with 16 makes, surpassing Warren Frevert. 
 
STILL STREAKING
Kicker Dalton Dye continues to keep the Cardinals tied for first in the league alongside Indianapolis and Truman after hitting all 13 point-after-attempts this season. Dye has now hit 35 PAT in a row, dating back to November 2017. The redshirt junior has missed just two in his career, both coming during his freshman season. The NCAA record for consecutive PAT by kicking is 73 set by Luis Berlanga (Northwest Missouri State) in 2004 and later tied by Tom Schneider (North Alabama) in 2008. 
 
MAJOR WALL
After missing last week, redshirt senior Major Walker is back. He continues to be a force to reckon with for opposing kickers. Two weeks ago at Southwest Baptist, he blocked a PAT attempt in the opening quarter, his second of the season to move into first place in the GLVC and third nationally. He owns seven blocks for his career which is the most in the NCAA era for the Cardinals.
 
GLVC DEFENSIVE LEADERS
Antonio Wabanimkee collected a career-high 13 tackles last week, including 10 in the first half, to propel him up to a tie for tenth in the GLVC with 7.4 take downs per game. Brock Geisz continues to sit in third place at 9.6 while Cameron McKasson is ninth with 7.6. Donte' Colum is also second in the league and 30th nationally with 1.4 defended passes per game. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
The Cardinals got off to cold start while McKendree University came out firing taking a 28-0 lead. Dalton Dye got Jewell on the board in the third quarter with two field goals followed by a 13-yard touchdown run from Rye'll Dydell. 
 
Will Schneider finished with 237 yards passing and 85 on the ground to lead the offense. Antonio Wabanimkee posted a career-high 13 tackles while Brock Geisz had nine.
