For the second straight week, Hayes returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown. Hayes' 85-yard kickoff return touchdown in No. 19 Southeastern's 38-14 victory at HCU was his second of the season and third of his Lion career. Later in the third quarter, he broke free for a 55-yard kickoff return to set up an SLU field goal. On the day, he averaged 51.6 yards per kickoff return. One of two FCS players to return two kickoffs for touchdowns this fall, Hayes is third in FCS with 32.7 yards per kickoff return.
