WEEK 3 STATS: 9 total tackles (5 solo), 6.0 TFL, 3.0 sacks, 1 FF, 1 QBH, 1 PBU
Kuntz was practically unblockable during a dominant defensive effort against fellow 2015 NCAA FCS playoff participant Dayton. The senior linebacker made 6.0 tackles for a loss, including 3.0 sacks, in Duquesne’s 34-20 victory at Rooney Field. In addition to totaling nine tackles, Kuntz logged one forced fumble, one quarterback hurry and one pass break-up. He led a defense that grounded the Flyers, limiting them to nine first downs and 201 yards of total offense. Kuntz, who led Division I FCS in tackles for loss last season, is currently tied for second place amongst national leaders.
