SERIES HISTORY: Saturday marks the 67th meeting between Kutztown and Bloomsburg, tied for the second longest rivalry in school history. Kutztown's last win in the series came in 2011, a 52-14 win at University Field that earned KU the Eastern Division title. The win over Bloomsburg was Kutztown's first since 1992.
 
HEAD COACHES: Drew Folmar is in his first season as head coach of the Golden Bears in 2013, and has directed KU's offense and coached its quarterbacks since 2009. This is Folmar's first head coaching position and makes him the 15th head coach in Kutztown's modern football history.
 
Paul Darragh was named interim head coach of Bloomsburg University in Feb. 2013 and overall is in his 17th season with the Huskies. Darragh has served as the Huskies' defensive coordinator for the last 16 years. Under Darragh's leadership the Huskies' defense has ranked in the top-half of the PSAC in total defense seven of the past 11 seasons, including back-to-back second place finishes in 2000 and 2001 and a second place in 2009.
 
LAST TIME OUT FOR KUTZTOWN: Kutztown was taken down by California (PA) 45-10 at Adamson Stadium in its second consecutive road game to start the season. The Golden Bears threw the ball for the majority of the game on the arm of freshman Alec Werner (Harrisburg, PA/Bishop McDevitt). He tossed 45 passes with 30 completions for 295 yards in his second career game. Notably, 295 of Kutztown's 304 yards were through the air. Werner's main target was fellow freshman Alex Tonnies (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth). One week after his record-breaking game against Clarion, Tonnies brought in nine catches for 49 yards. Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) (61) and Brett Fox (Laureldale, Pa./Muhlenburg) (60) had the most receiving yardage for Kutztown. Defensively, English Peay (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) tabbed a team-high 10 tackles with a pair of breakups. Sam Dixon-Dougan rattled off eight tackles from his linebacker position, while Cody Kelso (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora (Wagner))  chipped in seven tackles.
 
LAST TIME OUT FOR BLOOMSBURG: It was a day for history under clear blue skies at Sox Harrison Stadium as Franklyn Quiteh and Danny Fisher each re-wrote the PSAC record books as part of the 15th-ranked Huskies' 47-35 victory over the Fighting Scots. With an eight-yard carry early in the fourth quarter, Quiteh surpassed the previous all-time PSAC career rushing record of 5,689 held by Bloomsburg product Jamar Brittingham since 2007. Earlier in the afternoon, Fisher set his own PSAC record, breaking the conference mark for kicking points in a career of 287 which Mark Brubaker of East Stroudsburg had owned since 2005, now standing at 291. He also connected on two field goals to tie the record of 50 set by Ed Detwiler of East Stroudsburg in 1992. Quiteh finished the day with 231 yards rushing to push his career total to 5,741 in Maroon and Gold. The senior found the endzone three times on the day as well. A week after leading Division II with 457 yards on the ground, the Huskies put up 383 rushing yards against the Scots. Redshirt sophomore Dai'Shon Munger again impressed with his second consecutive 100-yard day, recording 133 yards and two touchdowns.
 
JUMP RIGHT IN: Freshman quarterback Alec Werner (Harrisburg, PA/Bishop McDevitt) was the first true freshman to start a season-opener at quarterback for Kutztown since Michael de Marteleire in 1998 against Lock Haven.
 
FRESHMAN DEBUT: Alec Werner (Harrisburg, PA/Bishop McDevitt), a true freshman starting in his first collegiate game against Clarion, passed for 394 yards on 40-for-57 passing for an impressive 70.1 completion percentage. His completions and attempts are the second-most in a single-game in school history, and his 394 yards were the most by a freshman since Kevin Morton (Abington, PA/Abington) threw for 451 in 2010.
 
NOT TOO SHABBY: Freshman Alex Tonnies (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth) brought in a school-record 17 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown against Clarion, breaking Terry Robertson's single-game record set in 2000 against Bloomsburg. It rates tied for second in PSAC history.

IN SEARCH OF ITS FIRST: Kutztown has yet to intercept a pass this season. The last time it went through the first two games of the season without an interception was in 2009 when it did not have an interception until the fifth game of the season. KU is one of 33 Division II teams and four PSAC teams without an interception.
 
HOME SWEET HOME: Saturday (Sept. 21) is Kutztown's first home game of the season. It is the latest home-opener for the Golden Bears since it hosted California (PA) in their third game of the season on Sept. 23, 1995.
 
TOP OF THE CHARTS: Alex Tonnies (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth) leads Division II with 13 receptions per game. He is the only player in the PSAC to average 10 or more catches per game, and is the only freshman in Division II to average more than nine per game.
