Gilkey and co. in the secondary helped slow down the league’s reigning offensive player of the week on a big stage, helping the Panthers force a total of four turnovers against rival Findlay.
Gilkey matched his career high total in tackles with five and intercepted UF QB Matt Winzeler twice, including one late in the fourth quarter to halt the Oilers’ comeback bid.
Gilkey was also credited with two pass breakups in coverage as the Panthers held UF’s offense to 17 points below its season average coming in.
Ohio Dominican now has four takeaways in three of its last four outings dating back to last season.
