30-POINT CLUB: Dating back to the final two games of 2014, Kutztown has scored 30 or more points in seven straight games. It is 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.
 
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.
 
NEARLY REPEATING HISTORY: In 2014 against Millersville, Kutztown posted three 100-yard running backs for the first time in school history. In 2015, it posted two 100-yard backs and was six yards shy of having three running backs with 100 yards for the second time in school history.
 
GOING TO THE GROUND: Over the last two weeks, Kutztown has gone to the ground game for its success. Entering the Cheyney game two weeks ago, KU held the top passing attack in the PSAC at 395 yards per game. It now ranks fourth with more than 100 yards less than it did two weeks ago at 289 per game. On the ground, Kutztown has increased its per-game yardage by nearly 100. Two weeks ago, KU averaged 113.7 for 12th in the PSAC. It now averages 203.6 per game for sixth in the PSAC.
 
CHOOSING NOT TO PASS: For the second straight year against Millersville, KU did not throw for triple-digit yardage. Its seven completions last week marked the lowest since KU's 2011 NCAA playoff win over Concord (nine).
 
SHARP UNDER CENTER: Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks second in the PSAC in completion percentage at 62.4 percent, third in passing efficiency (148.6), passing touchdowns (14) and passing yards (1,445), and fourth in total offense (300.0). He is posting career-highs in passing yards (289.0) and completions per game (22.2).
 
MOVING ON UP: In just 16 career starts under center, Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks fourth in school history with 43 passing touchdowns, fifth with 4,372 passing yards, fifth with 350 completions and seventh with 589 passing attempts.
 
TOP DUO: Kutztown is the only team in Division II with two receivers with 500+ receiving yards. Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) has 503 and Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) has 500. KU is one of two schools across all divisions with two 500+ receivers along with Division III Hartwick.
 
BLOCKED PUNT: Kutztown's Sherief Sutton (York, Pa./Central York) blocked a punt last week vs. Millersville. It marked KU's first blocked punt since Jake Cahill blocked a punt vs. Cheyney in 2009.
 
ANOTHER GAME, ANOTHER CATCH: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) has caught a pass in all 38 of his career games, the longest active streak in the PSAC for consecutive games with a catch. He is tied for the second-longest streak in school history with Trevor Smith (2001-04). 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.
 
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY: 2015 marks the 100th season of Kutztown University football. Beginning in 1895, Kutztown's all-time record in 812 games stands at 358-431-23 (.455).
 
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 100.6 receiving yards per game, fourth in the PSAC. His previous career-best was 72.5 from 2013. He is averaging a career-best 6.4 receptions per game, sixth in the PSAC. Possibly the most impressive of all, Reed has caught a pass in all 38 of his games played, the longest active streak in the PSAC and tied for the second-longest in program history.
 
RECORDS FOR REED: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) broke KU's career receiving touchdowns record last week and now holds two of the three career receiving records. He has a record 2,365 receiving yards, 41st in PSAC history, and a record 25 touchdown catches, 28th in PSAC history. He is tied for third in KU history with 165 career receptions, one shy of second place and 35 shy of Mark Steinmeyer's school-record of 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 third in the PSAC and 12th in Division II with 4.60 against per game. The Division II lead is 3.2 per game.
 
OFFENSIVE SUCCESS: KU ranks third in the PSAC and 16th in Division II in total offense at 492.6 per game, on pace to break the 2012 school-record of 481.1.
 
ALL-AMERICAN TACKLE: Returning All-American Jordan Morgan (Philadelphia, Pa./Parkway Northwest) anchors the offensive line from his left tackle position. 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 37 games; however, it has not thrown 30 pass attempts in each of its last two games.
 
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. He ranks fifth in receiving yards per game (100.0), seventh in receiving touchdowns (5) and ninth in receptions per game (6.0). He has 30 catches for 500 yards this year, highlighted by a 219-yard effort in a win at Indiana (PA). He has three double-digit catch games in his career and five 100-yard receiving performances. He has caught a pass in 23 of his 26 career games, but had his streak of 15 straight snapped last week vs. Millersville.
 
JUST A JUNIOR: For his career, junior wideout Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) ranks eighth all-time at KU with 18 receiving touchdowns, 10th with 1,699 career receiving yards and 10th with 123 catches.
 
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).
 
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.
 
DEFENSIVE LEADER: Zack Delp (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) leads the team and ranks seventh in the PSAC with 46 tackles at a career-best 9.2 per game. He notched 10 or more tackles in three of five games this year and has seven double-digit tackle games in his career.
 
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-16 in career field goal attempts, tied for sixth all-time in school history for field goals made. He tied the school-record for field goal percentage in a season last year at 85.7 percent, and holds a career-long of 46 yards, two yards shy of the school-record.
 
COFFIN CORNER: Senior punter Andrew Deutsch (Kutztown, Pa./Northwestern Lehigh) earned All-PSAC honors last year. He ranks fourth in school history in career punting yardage with 5,203, fourth with a 36.6 career average and fourth with 142 career punts.
