Matt Barnes nearly broke Monmouth's single game tackle record in Saturday's 29-22 come-from-behind win over Wartburg. The senior linebacker recorded 19 tackles, one shy of the school record, as Monmouth held the Knights to just 83 rushing yards. Barnes has already amassed 35 tackles this season, putting him on pace to shatter the Scots' single-season record.
