TACOMA, Washington – Only three games remain on the Puget Sound football team's 2021 schedule, the first of which is at home against Whitworth Saturday, Oct. 30. Kickoff in Baker Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m.
 
Washington to rush more
Senior running back Silas Washington was named the Logger of the Week following Puget Sound's game at Lewis & Clark (Oct. 23). He ran for 229 on 45 carries, and scored twice. Washington became the first Logger since 2008 to have 200+ rushing yards in a game. He is also the first Logger since 2008 to have at least nine rushing touchdowns in a season. Kavin Williams is the last Logger to achieve both of those feats. Washington's 45 carries against the Pioneers were two shy of matching Daryl Wright's single-game program record set in 1991.
 
Aerial kings
Seniors AJ Johnson and Murdock Rutledge both set Puget Sound career records this season. Johnson is the program's all-time leader in receptions (267) and receiving yards (3,097). Rutledge is the all-time leader in passing yards (7,142) and passing touchdowns (63).
 
Safety first
Freshman safety Amarian Culpepper leads the Loggers in tackling with 38 (29 solo). He also has four pass breakups to his name.
 
With the flow
Freshman defensive back Zerek Waters has a team-high two interceptions this season, and he has also broken up three passes.
