Arnold made a game-high 13 tackles, including a number of key stops, in a come-from-behind victory over Monmouth that guaranteed the Blue Devils at least a share of the Northeast Conference crown. The freshman linebacker limited the Hawks to three or fewer yards with eight of his takedowns. Giving the offense a chance to complete the comeback from 19 points down, Arnold bottled up Monmouth’s Walter Payton Award candidate David Sinisi in crunch time. Two of Arnold’s five solo stops came on consecutive plays with fewer than 3:00 remaining. He held Sinisi to a total of three yards on two carries and forced the Hawks, who held a 19-13 lead at the time, to punt.
