Complete KU Game Notes
 
TITLE HOPES: Tied for third in the PSAC East standings, Kutztown has a chance to win a share of the PSAC East title on Saturday and possibly host the PSAC Championship game on Nov. 14. To win a share of the PSAC East title, KU needs to defeat SHIP and have East Stroudsburg win on the road at West Chester. To win a share of the title and host the PSAC Championship game, KU and ESU must win, and Lock Haven must upset Bloomsburg. If KU, ESU and Bloomsburg win, five teams will be tied at 5-2 in the PSAC East and a five-way coin toss will be conducted to determine the championship game representative.
 
MAGIC NUMBER = 24: KU head coach Jim Clements is 9-0 in his Kutztown career when holding opponents to 24 or fewer points.
 
POINTS, POINTS, AND MORE POINTS: KU scored in all four quarters last week at Lock Haven for the first time this season.
 
GREAT SCOTT: Darrell Scott (Douglassville, Pa./Daniel Boone) posted the best performance of his career last week at Lock Haven. A redshirt junior, Scott finished with a career-high 20 carries for 120 yards for a 6.0 average.
 
SNIFFING OUT THE ENDZONE: Senior running back Terry Williams (West Orange, N.J./Cosby (Phoenix College)) ran for his career-high ninth and 10th touchdowns of the season last week at Lock Haven, sixth in the PSAC. He is the seventh player in KU history to rush for 10 or more touchdowns in a season, and stands in seventh place all-time at KU with 19 career rushing touchdowns in his two seasons at KU.
 
YARDS PER CARRY: Terry Williams (West Orange, N.J./Cosby (Phoenix College)) ranks third in the PSAC and 19th in Division II at 6.79 yards-per-carry.
 
WINNING SEASONS: With a win on Saturday, Kutztown would clinch its second straight winning season. Head Coach Jim Clements became the first KU head coach in the program's modern history to achieve a winning season in his first year at the helm of the Golden Bears last year with a 6-5 record, and would extend that to the first-ever KU coach to achieve winning seasons in each of his first two seasons with a win in the final two weeks.
 
ANOTHER GAME, ANOTHER CATCH: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) has caught a pass in all 42 of his career games, a school-record. It is the longest active streak in the PSAC for consecutive games with a catch. If Reed caught a pass in every game this season, he would close his career with a streak of 44 games, the third-longest in PSAC history.
 
2,000 CAREER YARDS: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) (2,601) and Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) (2,062) are the first Golden Bear duo on the same team to each have 2,000 career receiving yards. Reed is KU's all-time leader as a senior, while Williams is ranked fourth as a junior.
 
5,000 YARDS - 50 TDs: Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) is the fourth player in school history to surpass 5,000 career passing yards and 50 career touchdown passes.
 
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 82.1 receiving yards per game, seventh in the PSAC. His previous career-best was 72.5 from 2013. He is ninth in the PSAC at 5.4 receptions per game, but possibly the most impressive of all, Reed has caught a pass in all 42 of his games played, the longest active streak in the PSAC and a school-record.
 
TD CATCHES: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) has hauled in a career-high-tying nine touchdowns this season. With one more, Reed would be the sixth player in school history to grab 10+ TD catches in a season and the first since 2011 (Josh Smith).
 
RECORDS FOR REED: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) holds two of Kutztown's three career receiving records. He has a record 2,601 receiving yards, 30th in PSAC history, and a record 28 touchdown catches, 18th in PSAC history. He is second in KU history with 182 career receptions, 18 shy of KU Hall of Famer Mark Steinmeyer's record 200.
 
KELLEN'S CORNER: Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) is having a career year, ranking in the top-six in the PSAC in all receiving categories. He ranks second in receiving yards (863), sixth in receptions per game (6.2) and sixth in receiving touchdowns (8). He has 56 catches for a career-high 863 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 seven 100-yard receiving performances. He has caught a pass in 27 of his 30 career games.
 
JUST A JUNIOR: For his career, junior wideout Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) ranks fourth all-time at KU with 21 receiving touchdowns, fourth with 2,062 career receiving yards and seventh with 149 catches.
 
LONG PLAYS: KU has posted four offensive plays of 50+ yards this season, all ending in touchdowns. Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) has TD catches of 63 and 70 yards this year, James Wah Jr. (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) has a 62-yard TD run and Terry Williams (West Orange, N.J./Cosby (Phoenix College)) has a 98-yard TD run.
 
STARTING CENTER: Junior Ben Cregger (Spring Grove, Pa./Spring Grove) has made 20 consecutive starts at center for Kutztown.
 
300-300 GAME: Against ESU two weeks ago, KU displayed its most balanced attack of the last three years, producing 301 rushing and 321 passing yards for 622 total yards of offense. It was Kutztown's first 300-300 game since Oct. 27, 2012, a 366-yard rushing and 344-passing yard performance at home against Millersville.
 
100-100 GAME: KU posted a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver two weeks ago in its win over ESU, the first time for KU this season. The last time it posted a triple-yardage rusher and receiver in the same game was against ESU in 2014.
 
SCHOOL-RECORD RUN: Terry Williams (West Orange, N.J./Cosby (Phoenix College)) took his first handoff vs. ESU two weeks ago for a school-record 98-yard touchdown. It broke Emneko Sweeney's 17-year record of 91 yards from 1998. It was the second-longest touchdown run in PSAC history and the longest run in the conference since a record 99-yard run by Edinboro's Lester Frye in 1991.
 
BLOCKED PUNTS: Sherief Sutton (York, Pa./Central York), Ryan Hubley (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) and Kurt Kenny (Duncannon, Pa./Susquenita) have all blocked a punt this year. Prior to this season, KU hadn't blocked a punt since 2009 and had not blocked three in a season since it blocked four in 2005.
 
BLOCKED PUNT FOR TD: Ryan Hubley (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) blocked a punt on Oct. 10 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.
 
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 26th in Division II with 5.11 against per game. Shippensburg leads the PSAC at 4.56 per game.
 
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY: 2015 marks the 100th season of Kutztown University football. Beginning in 1895, Kutztown's all-time record in 816 games stands at 360-433-23 (.455).
 
EARLY LEAD: Kutztown has led at halftime in 15 of its last 16 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) has made 21 consecutive starts at middle linebacker for KU. The junior leads the team and ranks 14th in the PSAC with 67 tackles at 7.4 per game. He has notched 10 or more tackles in four games this year and has eight double-digit tackle games in his career. For his career, Delp is 12 tackles shy of 200.
 
FIRST YEAR LINEBACKER: Redshirt freshman Tajier Jefferson (East Orange, N.J./Queen of Peace) is having a tremendous debut for KU this season. He has started at linebacker in each of his eight games this season and ranks second on the team with 58 tackles, the most for a freshman at KU since English Peay (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) had 66 in 2011. He leads the team with 14.0 tackles-for-loss, second in the PSAC, and has two double-digit tackle games this season. He was named the PSAC Defensive Athlete of the Week earlier this year.
 
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.
 
BARTON'S BUNCH: Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks third in the PSAC this season in passing yards (2,496), third in touchdowns (24), third in completions per game (21.44) and first in completion percentage (61.7). His 277.3 passing yards and 299.9 total yards per game are both career-highs.
 
MOVING ON UP: In 20 career starts under center, Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks third in school history with 53 passing touchdowns, and fifth in career pass attempts (724), yardage (5,423) and completions (432).
 
ALL-AMERICAN TACKLE: Returning All-American Jordan Morgan (Philadelphia, Pa./Parkway Northwest) has only missed one game in his career and has started at left tackle in 30 of Kutztown's last 31 games, including a streak of 11 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 34 of its last 41 games (82.9 percent).

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 7-0 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. 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.

OVERTIME HEARTBREAK: Since 1996, KU is 2-9 in overtime games. Its first OT win was a 26-23 victory over Millersville in three overtimes in the final game of the 2007 season. Its most recent OT win was the 2014 season-finale, when a last-second touchdown pass catapulted a 41-35 win at Clarion.
