Something significant

It's not often anything even remotely close to important happens in the fourth quarter of a 59-0 slaughter, but two players just made their season debut after sitting out the first two games with injuries.

Of the greatest importance to the team is that Ryan D'Imperio is in at middle linebacker. He essentially won the starting job in spring practice before breaking his leg in three places. Originally, he was slated to miss at least the first four games and maybe more, but he kept on progressing ahead of schedule, and here he is.

The other substitution is noteworthy for the team, but also for the greater Trenton area.

Zaire Kitchen, a defensive back from Hightstown, is in for the first time all year after breaking his leg last year. Kitchen's absence was a major reason why Greg Schiano had been concerned about the Knights' depth in the secondary, so having him back on the field is a major plus for the Knights' defense.
