TACOMA, Washington – The Puget Sound football team celebrates its senior class before kicking off the season finale against Willamette in Baker Stadium Saturday, Nov. 13, at 1 p.m.
 
Senior strength
The Loggers are graduating 17 seniors this year: Jaylen Antoine, Braden Castleberry-Taylor, Corey Cisowsky, Gerard DeZutti, Alex Everett, Griffin Hartshorn, AJ Johnson, Austin Knight, Matt Marengo, Alex Meadowcroft, Stephen Mullane, Murdock Rutledge, Ezekiel Sayavong, Kaleb Soliz, Dom Torregroza, Lucas Varela, and Silas Washington.
 
Almost a millennial
Senior running back Silas Washington enters this weekend with 917 rushing yards. Puget Sound hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Rory Lee ran for 1,044 yards in 2006. Senior offensive linemen Braden Castleberry-Taylor, Griffin Hartshorm, and Dom Torregroza have been plowing the way for Washington to average nearly 102 rushing yards per game.
 
Good things come in threes
Senior quarterback Murdock Rutledge recently set his third different Puget Sound career record this season. Rutledge enters this weekend with 614 career completions – one more than Braden Foley's previous record. Rutledge also holds Puget Sound's all-time records for passing yards (7,495) and passing touchdowns (64).
 
Building the gap
AJ Johnson continues to add to his record-setting totals for receptions and receiving yards. He enters this weekend with 277 receptions and 3,195 receiving yards, both of which are school records.
 
The young defense
Logger freshmen are making a notable impact on Puget Sound's defense. Amarian Culpepper has a team-high 45 tackles, and Zerek Waters leads the Loggers in interceptions with two. Last week at Pacific Lutheran (Nov. 6), Tristan Hofmann totaled 11 tackles.
 
Scouting Willamette (1-8, 0-6 NWC)
