THE LAST TIME: Last year against Cheyney, KU set school-records for points scored and margin of victory in a 74-0 win in the PSAC East opener at University Field. The Golden Bears set the record for points scored in a game early in the fourth quarter, breaking the previous record of 67 from 1991 against Bloomsburg that stood for 23 years. The 74-point victory broke a 65-year school-record of 58 from a 58-0 victory over Trenton State in 1949. Kutztown dominated the stat sheet with advantages in first downs (32-3), total yards (572-47) and yards-per-play (6.7-1.0).
 
AIR MAIL: Kutztown leads the PSAC and ranks third in Division II in passing offense at 395.0 yards per game. KU is on pace to break the school-record of 354.5 per game from 2012. For total offense, KU ranks third in the PSAC and 14th in Division II at 508.7 per game, on pace to break the 2012 school-record of 481.1.
 
SHARP UNDER CENTER: Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) leads the PSAC with a 65.0 completion percentage, 1,185 passing yards (395.0 per game), 403 yards per game of total offense, and 29.67 completions per game. He ranks second with 10 passing touchdowns and 22.0 points responsible for per game, only behind Gannon's Liam Nadler.
 
MOVING ON UP: In just 14 career games under center, Chad Barton (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) ranks fourth in school history with 39 passing touchdowns, fifth with 4,112 passing yards, fifth with 328 completions and eighth with 548 passing attempts.
 
KELLEN'S CORNER: Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) is off to a career year, ranking in the top-10 in Division II in most receiving categories. He leads the PSAC in receiving yards (161.0) and receptions per game (9.3), and is second with five receiving touchdowns. He has 28 catches for 483 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 22 of his 24 career games, including a current streak of 14 in a row. At his current average of 161 yards per game, Williams is on pace for 1,771 yards this season, breaking the PSAC single-season record by five yards.
 
JUST A JUNIOR: For his career, junior wideout Kellen Williams (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg), just three games into his junior campaign, ranks eighth all-time at KU in receiving touchdowns (18), 10th with 1,682 career receiving yards and 10th with 121 catches.
 
STRONG START TO SENIOR SEASON: Redshirt senior Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) is on pace to set career-highs in all categories this year. He is averaging 118.7 yards per game, fourth in the PSAC and nearly double his previous career-best of 72.5 from 2013. He is averaging a career-best 7.0 receptions per game, fifth in the PSAC. Possibly the most impressive of all, Reed has caught a pass in all 36 of his games played.
 
ANOTHER RECORD FOR REED: Kodi Reed (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) became Kutztown's all-time leader in career receiving yards in Week 2 at Indiana (PA). His career-high 153 yards moved him past the 24-year record of 2,118 previously held by KU Hall of Famer Mark Steinmeyer (1988-91). Reed is currently at 2,218 career yards, 50th in PSAC history. He is also one touchdown shy from tying the school-record of 23, held by Steinmeyer and Josh Smith. Reed ranks fifth at KU in career receptions (154).
 
RUNNING TO VICTORY: 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 5-0 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 33 tackles at a career-best 11 per game.

Delp is an All-PSAC East Second Teamer that earned Preseason All-America honors this year.
 
FRESHMAN DEBUT: R-Fr. running back Craig Reynolds (Willow Grove, Pa./Abington) was impressive in his collegiate debut against Assumption. He hauled in 12 catches for 115 yards, marking the third straight year a freshman receiver led the team with 10+ catches in the season-opener. He ranks third in the PSAC and 15th in Division II at 7.3 catches per game.
 
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY: 2015 marks the 100th season of Kutztown University football. Beginning in 1895, Kutztown's all-time record in 810 games stands at 356-431-23 (.454).
