1st & 10 ...  Complete Game Notes (PDF)

1 • ESU (5-3, 2-3 PSAC East) hosts Lock Haven (3-5, 2-3) on Homecoming at Eiler-Martin Stadium. The Warriors finish the season with 3 straight November home games for the first time since 1927, the program's 2nd year. ESU is 24-15 in Homecoming games under Denny Douds.

2 • ESU faces Lock Haven at home for the 2nd straight year. The Bald Eagles moved to the PSAC East this year and take the place of LIU Post in the division's rotation. The Warriors opened 2012 with a 31-0 win over LHU as Nate Daniels threw for 355 yards and 4 TD.

3 • The Warriors have an opportunity for their 7th season with 8+ wins in the last 12 years if they can defend Eiler-Martin Stadium in their final 3 games.

4 • Douds is tied for 3rd on the DII all-time wins list with 242 career victories, after a 43-26 win at Kutztown last week. Douds' 242 wins, also a PSAC record, are tied for 23rd in college football history.

5 • R-Jr. DL Bryan Thomson, an All-American and last year's PSAC East Defensive Player of the Year, was named PSAC East Defensive Player of the Week for his performance at Kutztown. He had 13 tackles and 3.5 sacks, ESU's most since Brian Holkovic had 4 sacks at Kutztown in 2001. Thomson had a hand in 5 of ESU's 8 sacks at KU.

6 • Sr. K Taylor Groff can set ESU's career records in kicking points and field goals this week. Groff has 285 career points (287, Mark Brubaker, 2002-05) and 48 field goals (50, Ed Detwiler, 1989-92).

7 • R-So. QB Matt Soltes continues his climb up ESU's career charts, moving past James Franklin '95 (current Vanderbilt head coach) for 6th in total offense and 8th in passing yards last week. Soltes had 305 passing yards and 319 total yards at Kutztown. In his last game at Eiler-Martin Stadium, he had 542 yards of total offense (476 passing, 66 rushing) in a 52-38 loss to #6 Bloomsburg.

8 • Soltes has 5,871 yards of total offense in his career. He can move into 2nd in PSAC history in total offense through a player's sophomore year behind only ESU's Jimmy Terwilliger (7,634 yards).

9 • R-Fr. TB Robert Healy (21 carries, 142 yards; 3 catches, 42 yards, TD at Kutztown) is 2nd on ESU's freshman rushing list with 816 yards, trailing only Stewart Ford's 1,109 yards in 1997. Healy can move into the top 10 in single-season rushing yards with 50 yards against Lock Haven.

10 • R-Sr. WR Robert Bleiler is 3rd in the PSAC in receptions (6.5) and yards (100.5) per game, and is in ESU's career top 10 in both categories. He is on pace for the 8th 1,000-yard season in ESU history.
