Jahlan Paul intercepted two passes, including one he returned 50 yards for a touchdown, to key Lawrence's 24-10 victory at Beloit. With Lawrence holding a 17-10 lead, Paul intercepted a pass midway through the fourth quarter at the Lawrence 40-yard line to stop a Beloit drive. On Beloit's next drive, Paul intercepted a pass at midfield and returned it 50 yards for a back-breaking touchdown and a 24-10 advantage. It was Paul's first collegiate touchdown and helped Lawrence to its first victory since the 2021 season. Paul, who leads the Midwest Conference with six interceptions, finished with two tackles and a pass breakup.
