Top player: Kenton Ridge graduate Jeff Tiffner caught eight passes for 99 yards and scored two touchdowns.
Turning point: Kenyon opened the game with a 10-play, 76-yard touchdown drive. The Wittenberg offense then went three-and-out. On the second play of Kenyon's second drive, Chandler Ferko intercepted Thomas Merkle. That set up Wittenberg with a short field, and Kennedy scored on an 8-yard run on the first play.
Key stat: Wittenberg rushed for 207 yards. DeShawn Sarley led the way with 81 yards on 12 carries. Kenyon rushed for negative 14 yards.
Big picture: The Tigers (3-0, 2-0) take a perfect record into a 7 p.m. home game next Saturday against Denison. The Big Red handed the Tigers their only regular-season loss last season, 24-21 in Granville. Denison (3-0, 2-0) beat Oberlin 45-17 on Saturday.
