ROSE-HULMAN NOTES:
* Rose-Hulman seeks its 2nd consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III Football Playoffs this season.  
* The Fightin' Engineers won the 2021 HCAC title after a perfect 7-0 conference season before falling 26-21 at DePauw in the first round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
* Rose-Hulman is the 2022 favorite to win the HCAC championship in the preseason league poll.  The Fightin' Engineers were the narrowly chosen top selection over Mount St. Joseph.
* Rose-Hulman fell 17-14 in the 2022 season opener at DePauw last Saturday.  
* Miguel Robertson threw for 246 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Daniel Huery had 8 catches for 148 yards and a 73-yard touchdown.  Adam Tice-Saliu added a leaping 37-yard hail mary catch on the last play of the first half to support the offensive attack.
