            Dillon, a redshirt-junior linebacker recorded six tackles, including one for loss on the afternoon as well as a pass breakup.  He also helped end a pair of Bulldog drives, forcing a fumble at the Valpo 19-yard line in the first quarter as well as blocking a field goal late in the game.

            On the season, Dillon is second on the team with 31 tackles, including three for loss and has three pass breakups.
