Loper matched a career high with seven stops while finishing as the leading tackler for the Jaguars against Henderson State, also picking up the unit’s initial fumble recovery with just over nine minutes left in the opening period that led to USA's first touchdown of the contest.  His efforts helped the Jags force the Reddies into seven turnovers in Saturday’s victory, the most takeaways the unit has produced in the program’s first two-plus seasons of competition; the 55 rushing yards, as well as the 210 overall, that HSU posted last weekend were both the fewest allowed by USA in 2011 as well.
