Wisconsin safety Preston Zachman had two interceptions all of last season. He equaled that amount in the first game of the season against the Miami (OH) Redhawks. It wasn't just the interceptions, though, that made him the hero of game one; it was his overall play.

The Redhawks literally couldn't get a completion when he was in coverage; he was ball-hawking all over the defense. He recorded two tackles, two interceptions, and zero catches allowed. His second interception helped keep the shutout intact. The Redhawks were threatening, and Zachman sealed the game with a crucial pick.
