TIGER NOTES

- The Tigers had better ball security against Bethel than they did in their first two games but the only interception thrown by CU's Chase Elmore was a crucial one as Bethel's Devious Christmon won a jump ball against Tate Pringle in the end zone where if Pringle came away with the ball, it would have made it a 7-7 game at the time.
- Linebacker Jon Carrothers has been a tackling machine for the Tigers through three games as he's averaged 10 tackle per game with a pair of tackles for a loss and one sack to lead CU in all three categories.
- In the defensive backfield, Malcolm Walker has been strong on coverage in the first half of the season with an interception and two passes broken up.
