He finished the game 14-of-22 for 250 yards and four touchdowns (of 17, 44, 14 and 6 yards) and added 58 rushing yards and a score (38 yard rush) to account for 308 total yards of offense in just over three quarters of play.

Tatum earned his first OVC Special Teams Player of the Week after posting a career game in handling all the kicking duties.

As a punter, he averaged a career-best 47.2 yards per punt on four punts, including booming a long of 55 yards. The Sylvania native pinned two of those punts inside the Nicholls 8-yard line (one at the 2-yard line).
