Complete KU Game Notes
 
SERIES HISTORY: Saturday marks the 69th meeting between Kutztown and Bloomsburg, tied for the second-longest rivalry in school history. Bloomsburg has won the last three matchups, as 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.
 
BLOCKED PUNTS: Kutztown has blocked a punt in back-to-back games for the first time in the last 10 years. Sherief Sutton (York, Pa./Central York) blocked a punt two weeks ago vs. Millersville, and Ryan Hubley (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) blocked one last week at West Chester. Prior to this season, KU hadn't blocked a punt since 2009.
 
BLOCKED PUNT FOR TD: Ryan Hubley (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) blocked a punt last week at West Chester, which was recovered and returned 20 yards by Tyler Pratt (Northumberland, Pa./Shikellamy) for a touchdown. It was the first punt block for a touchdown for KU since 2004.
 
TOP DUO: Kutztown and East Stroudsburg are the only teams in Division II with two receivers with 500+ receiving yards. Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) leads the team with 566, followed by Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) with 556.
 
ANOTHER GAME, ANOTHER CATCH: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) has caught a pass in all 39 of his career games. It is the longest active streak in the PSAC for consecutive games with a catch and the second-longest in school history. If Reed caught a pass in every game this season, he would break Colby Tuell's school-record of 40 games with a career-closing streak of 44 games, the third-longest in PSAC history.
 
SENIOR SEASON SWAN SONG: Redshirt senior Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) is on pace to set career-highs in all categories this year. He is averaging 92.7 receiving yards per game, seventh in the PSAC. His previous career-best was 72.5 from 2013. He is averaging a career-best 5.8 receptions per game, sixth in the PSAC. Possibly the most impressive of all, Reed has caught a pass in all 39 of his games played, the longest active streak in the PSAC and one shy of tying the school-record.
 
RECORDS FOR REED: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) holds two of Kutztown's three career receiving records. He has a record 2,418 receiving yards, 37th in PSAC history, and a record 26 touchdown catches, 27th in PSAC history. He is second in KU history with 168 career receptions, 32 shy of KU Hall of Famer Mark Steinmeyer's school-record 200.
 
KEEP MOVING FORWARD: KU's offensive line and running backs have done a great job of not allowing negative-yard plays. In tackles for loss allowed, KU is second in the PSAC and 16th in Division II with 4.67 against per game. Bloomsburg leads the PSAC at 3.67 per game.
 
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY: 2015 marks the 100th season of Kutztown University football. Beginning in 1895, Kutztown's all-time record in 813 games stands at 358-432-23 (.454).
 
CAREER WIN #75: KU head coach Jim Clements won his 75th career game two weeks ago. 66 of his wins came at Delaware Valley College from 2006-13, with the last nine while at the helm of the Golden Bears. Clements holds a career record of 75-32 with .701 winning percentage.
 
SNAPPED 30-POINT STREAK: Kutztown had its seven-game streak of scoring 30 or more points snapped last week at West Chester. It was the longest active streak in the PSAC and second-longest in school history, behind its 11-game streak from the 2009 season-finale through the first 10 games of 2010.
 
KELLEN'S CORNER: Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) is off to a career year, ranking in the top-10 in the PSAC in most receiving categories.

EARLY LEAD: Kutztown has led at halftime in 13 of its last 14 wins. It had led at half in 11 consecutive victories before KU's 21-point comeback win this year at Indiana (PA).
 
DEFENSIVE LEADER: Zack Delp (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) leads the team and ranks sixth in the PSAC with 57 tackles at a career-best 9.5 per game. He has notched 10 or more tackles in four of six games this year and has eight double-digit tackle games in his career.
 
400-YARD RUSHING ATTACK: KU ran for a season-high 400 yards in its win over Millersville, the first 400-yard performance in recorded school history. KU ran the ball 57 times, the most in 12 years since it ran 62 times at Cheyney on Nov. 8, 2003.
 
NEEDING A SPARK: Kutztown's passing attack is in the midst of its lowest production of the season over the last three weeks.
 
GOING TO THE GROUND: Over the last three weeks, Kutztown's rushing average has increased while its passing average has decreased. On the ground, Kutztown has increased its per-game yardage by more than 70 yards. Three weeks ago, KU averaged 113.7 yards per game for 12th in the PSAC. It now averages 187.5 per game for sixth in the PSAC. Entering the Cheyney game three weeks ago, KU held the top passing attack in the PSAC at 395 yards per game. It now ranks eighth with more than 100 yards less than it did three weeks ago at 269.7 per game.
 
BARTON'S BUNCH: Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks second in the PSAC in completion percentage (62.6 percent), fourth in passing touchdowns (15) and sixth in passing yards (1,618). His 269.7 passing yards per game are a career-high.

ALL-AMERICAN TACKLE: Returning All-American Jordan Morgan (Philadelphia, Pa./Parkway Northwest) anchors the offensive line from his left tackle position. He has only missed one game in his career and has started at left tackle in 27 of Kutztown's last 28 games, including a streak of eight consecutive starts. He was the team MVP last year and earned his first All-PSAC East First Team award. Morgan earned Preseason All-America honors from Lindy's Sports and College Football America.
 
PASS ATTACK: Dating back to 2011, Kutztown has thrown 30 or more pass attempts in 31 of its last 38 games; however, it has not thrown 30 pass attempts in each of its last three games.

STOPPING THE RUN: KU's success under second-year head coach Jim Clements has stood true with its defensive ability to stop the run. Under Clements, KU is 6-0 when holding its opponent to less than 100 yards rushing.
 
ALL-REGION KICKER: An All-PSAC East First Team and All-Region Third Team selection as a freshman last year, sophomore kicker Alec Rosenfeld (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) is 14-of-17 in career field goal attempts, tied for sixth all-time in school history for field goals made.
