Vassar equaled its win total from its last three seasons last week, shutting Memphis, 36-0, to improve to 2-1.
Monte Davis was in the middle of the success as a runner and receiver, earning MLive Saginaw Player of the Week honors.
Davis ran for 101 yards, including a 19-yard TD run. Davis also caught two passes for 54 yards, including a 35-yard TD catch. Davis added three 2-point conversion runs.
