• The Hornets are one of two teams that remain undefeated in the Big Sky along side Montana State.Â
• Sac deploys two different QBs in Jake Dunniway and Asher O'Hara. Dunniway is the main passer with 1,417 yards. He was named the Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against NAU. O'Hara leads the team in rushing with 339 yards on 101 attempts and has passed for another 745.Â
