WEEK 10 STATS: 182 KOR yards, 60.7 KOR avg., 94-yard RET TD, 2 special teams tackles
Depadua produced the NEC single-game season high for kick return yards during Bryant’s 40-10 road win over Wagner. Moving up to second overall on the national kick return average leader board, the senior receiver returned three kicks for a total of 182 yards. Depadua, who averaged 60.7 yards per return in the #NECFB on ESPN3 Game of the Week, owns a 32.1 ypr average for the season. His last two runbacks against Wagner led directly to the Bulldogs’ final 14 points. After Wagner showed a sign of life when Ryan Owens made a 43-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter, Depadua quickly quieted any plays of a comeback. He returned the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, his second such score this season. He broke free for a 76-yard return in the fourth quarter and Bryant scored its final touchdown two plays later. The senior, who also scored a receiving touchdown in the game, made two tackles in kick coverage, too.
