Lindsey, Knake receive IBFC weekly accolades
Sophomores Nick Lindsey (Homer, Ill./Heritage) and Matt Knake (Freeburg, Ill./HS) received Player of the Week accolades from the Illini-Badger Football Conference for the efforts in week five as Eureka College defeated Concordia University Chicago 28-21 last Saturday.
Lindsey won the league's Offensive Player of the Week award after leading the Red Devils (1-3, 1-2 IBFC) to 424 yards on 96 plays from the quarterback position. In addition to rushing for a game-high 85 yards on 19 carries, he was accurate in the passing game as well, connecting on 19 of his 32 attempts for 208 yards.

Knake was a key contributor to the EC defensive effort from his position at linebacker. He led Eureka with nine total tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. He also recorded a half sack. The Red Devils allowed Concordia a time of possession of just 21:25 in the 60 minute affair.
Knake's interception, the fourth of the day for EC, with 7:35 to play in the final quarter set up Eureka's game winning drive at midfield. For the season, Knake leads EC with 29 tackles and four tackles for loss. He shared Defensive Player of the Week honors with Dave Gesiakowski of Aurora University.
The Red Devils will be on the road for their next two contests. They play next at Lakeland College Saturday, Oct. 6 at 1:00 pm.
