WEEK 5 STATS: 4 total tackles, 3.5 TFL, 2.0 sacks, FF
Gartner was a force in the middle for the SFU defense during a runaway road win over East Tennessee State. The Red Flash’s freshman defensive tackles totaled four stops, including 3.5 hits for a loss, in the 58-9 triumph. Gartner also forced a fumble and registered the first two quarterback sacks of his collegiate career. The Garden State product dropped the passer for a 9-yard loss on a 1st-and-10 play to derail a first-quarter ETSU drive before it ever got started. Gartner made his second quarterback takedown during ETSU’s final possession of the opening half, setting the stage for a turnover on downs. His efforts were a key reason why the home team produced only 12 yards of total offense in the first half.
