Both Korab Idrizi and Tommy Sweeney continued that trend on Saturday.
Idrizi caught his first touchdown pass of the season, a 22-yard reception to give the Eagles a 21-14 lead they would never relinquish. The junior, who entered the game with only six receptions for 56 yards this season, finished with two catches and 49 yards.
Sweeney, one of the top-5 tight ends in the ACC, had one of his better games of 2018. Entering the game, Sweeney had the most receptions (20) of a very balanced Eagles receiving corps. He acted more as a safety net for Brown, however, totaling only 169 receiving yards.
Sweeney was at it again on Saturday, leading the team with four receptions and stretching the field with 61 receiving yards. Not only that, he was part of the reason the Eagles were able to total 219 yards on the ground.
