JOHN CLEGG
Team: Western Reserve
Player fact: The senior quarterback was perfect last week. Clegg went 10 for 10 for 374 yards and a school-record six touchdowns in a 56-7 win over Southern. Record was previously held by Jeff Clegg and Shane Ewing (5).
Setting the record: “I took it from my brother, actually. It’s cool. But there are other records I’m more worried about. I’m more focused on the team right now.”
Focus of team: “We know we have the guys in the locker room to go to Week 15 and we are just trying to get better. We hard working hard and staying late. It’s a good feeling right now.”
Playoff pressure: “There is some pressure to do good and win playoff games. You do feel pressure from around the community and everybody just wants you to do good. It’s more encouragement than pressure.”
Playing Toronto: “They are a good team. They have guys that play hard and athletes who play above themselves. It’s going to be a fun game.”
Starting at home: “It’s awesome to play in front of your home crowd one more time. It’s our last time ever playing in front of them and we plan on giving them a show.”
Dylan Garver
Team: Poland
Player fact: The safety had two interceptions in a 28-7 win over rival Canfield. Poland takes on Louisville Friday. He has four interceptions on the year.
Big win: “That was a huge win. Canfield’s our main rival. It was a big confidence booster.”
Two interceptions: “I credit the defensive line on both of those. They had a great pass rush. They made (Aaron Jenkins) roll out of the pocket and he threw it up and I was able to jump the ball and make the plays.”
Playoff pressure: “No, because I have 10 other people on the field with me. They all got my back. If I make a mistake they are right there for me.”
Playing Louisville: “They run a spread offense and they are a good team. They do their job and make plays.”
Facing spread offense: “It’s going to be tough. We need to know where we need to be and we have to know the calls.”
Biggest Factor: “We need to do our jobs. We have to play good sound defense and if we do that, we’ll come out victorious.”
