Junior running back Amen Galley.
CHRISTA SCHROEDEL / THE DEPAUW
Junior running back Amen Galley is our Tiger of the Week after leading the Tigers to their first North Coast Athletic Conference win of the season, 24-0 over Kenyon College. Galley led the DePauw ground attack, carrying the ball 25 times for 109 yards and one touchdown. The junior also contributed with a catch good for 13 yards in the victory. Next up for Galley and the Tigers is a date with NCAC rival Denison University on Old Gold Weekend at Blackstock Stadium.
The DePauw (TDP): Are you guys comfortable where you're sitting tied for second in the NCAC right now?
Amen Galley (AG): We are excited to be in the top three but there is still a lot of work to be done.
TDP: Over 100 yards on the ground over Kenyon. What was the key for you to have so much success?
AG: The offensive line provided great gaps in the defense, allowing me to gain yards.
TDP: You've been called the "fastest man at DePauw." How long have you had that nickname and who gave it to you?
AG: I actually never knew about that nickname but I appreciate the thought.
TDP: Last year, you guys gave up 28 unanswered points to Denison. How does the team make sure that doesn't happen again this time?
AG: We have to control our composure during the high and lows of the game. If we can do this, I think we will come away with a win this Saturday.
