Despite its recent struggles against the Golden Bears, Millersville holds a 57-26-3 advantage in the head-to-head series.
 
WELCOME BACK: Kutztown head coach Drew Folmar returns to his alma mater as a head coach for the first time. He was also inducted into the Millersville University Athletic Hall of Fame last weekend for his outstanding play as a four-time All-PSAC East selection at quarterback. Folmar went 30-12 as a starting quarterback and owns 17 school records.
 
SAFETY FIRST: Kutztown scored a safety on a snap that went over the East Stroudsburg quarterback's head last week. It was the first safety for KU since 2008 against West Chester.
 
GREAT SCOTT: Darrell Scott (Douglassville, Pa./Daniel Boone) ran for a 78-yard touchdown against ESU last week. It is Kutztown's longest play from scrimmage this season and only play to go for more than 50 yards.
 
BREAKING BIG PLAYS: Kutztown tallied nine rushes for 10 or more yards against ESU, its second most of the season. It churned out a season-high 10 rushes of 10 or more yards against Cheyney.
 
2,000-YARD CLUB: Curtis Wortham (Philadelphia, PA/Father Judge) has rushed for 1,874 yards in his four-year career. He needs 126 yards to be the 11th player in school history to rush for 2,000 yards. He rushed for a career-high 932 yards in 2012, 186 coming against Millersville.
 
RUNNING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION: The Kutztown rushing attack reeled off a season-high 256 yards against East Stroudsburg, with the majority of the yardage spread among three running backs (Wortham, Scott, Wah). Notably, none of Kutztown's three running backs had rushes for negative yardage, and all three backs had runs for 20 or more yards.
 
LEAPING ON THE SCENE: In the month of October, freshman wide receiver Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) led the team with 18 catches for 223 yards, averaging a team-high 55.8 yards per game over the four-game stretch. He started the last two games for KU, and has caught touchdown passes in three straight games, and in four of Kutztown's last five games.
 
DRIVING BACKWARDS: Junior defensive end Zach Greenwald (Gibbstown, N.J./Paulsboro) leads the PSAC and is fourth in Division II with 16.5 tackles for loss. He is third in the PSAC with seven sacks.
 
SIDELINE-TO-SIDELINE: Sam Dixon-Dougan has led Kutztown in tackles in five of the eight games this season. He is third in the PSAC with 74 total tackles and is fifth with 11.5 tackles for loss. Notably, 51 (68.9%) of his tackles have been on rushing plays.
