Emanuel, a senior from Schuyler, Neb., had a career-high 10 tackles, 4.0 sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss in No. 1-ranked North Dakota State's 37-17 home win over No. 18/19-ranked South Dakota State. He had three sacks and eight tackles by halftime and also had a forced fumble and quarterback hurry in the game.
Emanuel stopped SDSU leading rusher Zach Zenner five times totaling six yards and caught Zenner after a 34-yard gain in the NDSU secondary. His strip sack with 4 minutes left in the game gave NDSU the ball at the SDSU 23 and led to a touchdown five plays later for the final score.
It is NDSU's seventh conference Player of the Week award this season. Emanuel, who was honored after the Iowa State and Indiana State games, now ranks third in the FCS with 12.5 sacks and is third in NDSU career history with 33 total sacks.
North Dakota State (9-0, 5-0 MVFC) plays the first of two straight road games Saturday, Nov. 8, at nationally ranked Northern Iowa (5-4, 3-2 MVFC). The Panthers are coming off a 42-28 home win over previously unbeaten Illinois State.
