MAGIC NUMBER: One of the trends with Kutztown's success this season has come with the running game. When KU runs for 100 or more yards, it is 3-0 this season. On the other side of the ball, Kutztown is 3-0 when it holds its opponent to less than 100 rushing yards.
 
EARLY LEAD: After leading at halftime in each of its first five games of the season, and eight consecutive games dating back to last season, Kutztown has trailed at the break in each of its last two games.
 
SAM I AM: Senior Sam Dougan (Secane, Pa./Ridley) is a two-time All-PSAC MLB and leads the team with 58 tackles (12th in PSAC) and 7.0 for a loss (16th in PSAC). He has 252 career tackles for ninth in school history, and he currently ranks eighth on the PSAC active career leaderboard and 29th in Division II. East Stroudsburg's Anthony Singlar ranks fifth in the PSAC and 21st in Division II among active players with 268 career tackles.
 
ENGLISH 101: Senior English Peay (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) eclipsed 200 career tackles on Oct. 9 against West Chester, the 18th player in school history to do so. The four-year starter has 206 tackles in 37 career games. Peay holds the school-record for pass break-ups (37), ranks second in passes defended (42), behind Pete Mendez's 47, and ranks second among active Division II players in passes defended. The PSAC record for passes defended is 59 by Shippensburg's Brent Grimes (2002-05). East Stroudsburg's David Castillo (2007-10) is third with 45.
 
CAPTAIN GREENWALD: Two-time All-PSAC East defensive end Zach Greenwald (Gibbstown, N.J./Paulsboro) is nearing 200 career tackles. He currently has 195 and looks to be the 19th player in school history with 200. He has 22 tackles this season and ranks second on the team with 5.0 tackles-for-loss.

He kicked a season-best 44-yarder against Cheyney, and in the past 17 years, only one Golden Bear has kicked a field goal 44 yards or longer (Matt Dineen vs. Cheyney in 2009). The school-record is 48 yards from 1994 and 1989.
 
GOOD HANDS: Kutztown is the best in the PSAC and is 13th in Division II with three lost fumbles. Last season, KU lost five total fumbles (all by quarterbacks) for third in the PSAC and 13th in Division II.

He also ranks ninth in school history in single-season TD passes. He is one of three players in the PSAC (Matt Soltes - ESU; Sean McCartney - WCU) and 15 in the country with 19 or more TD passes. His ratio of 19 TDs to three interceptions ranks second in the PSAC, only behind West Chester QB Sean McCartney's ratio of 25/3. In his first career start, Barton set the school-record with 64 pass attempts vs. Slippery Rock. The previous record of 63 attempts was held by Kevin Morton from 2012 against Shippensburg.
