HUSKIES TO THINKBIG IN OCTOBER
The Bloomsburg University football team, during the entire month of October, will be helping to fight pediatric cancer through the ThinkBIG Pediatric Cancer Fund. The program is entitled "Touchdowns For Pediatric Cancer." Throughout the month, the Bloomsburg football program will be recruiting friends, families, and fans of the Huskies to sign up to donate any amount per touchdown scored. The more fans Bloomsburg recruits - and the more touchdowns the Huskies score in the month of October - the more money raised for ThinkBIG. To learn more about the campaign and to set up a donation, visit http://buhuskies.com/news/2016/9/26/football-to-thinkbig-during-month-of-october.aspx. It's not too late to register.

FIVE THINGS TO WATCH
- The Huskies will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak when they host East Stroudsburg on Saturday afternoon. Both the Huskies and the Warriors are 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the PSAC Eastern Division.

- This will mark the 88th meeting between the two schools in the all-time series with East Stroudsburg holding a slim 44-41-2 advantage over Bloomsburg. Last season, Bloomsburg had its nine-winning streak against the Warriors snapped with a 35-34 loss at East Stroudsburg.

- Bloomsburg has rattled off 17 consecutive winning seasons and 17 consecutive seasons of seven or more victories. Only Division I's Florida State (31) and Virginia Tech (23), Division II's Northwest Missouri State (19), and Division III's Mount Union (27) have longer streaks in all of college football. Boise State and Oklahoma have streaks equal to that of Bloomsburg's.

- Bloomsburg's Lawrence Elliott, Jr. and East Stroudsburg's Robert Healy are the players to watch on Saturday. Elliott, Jr. has rushed for 14 touchdowns this season which second in the PSAC to Healy's 16. Elliott, Jr. needs 233 rushing yards to crack Bloomsburg's all-time top ten list and needs 373 all-purpose yards to become the fourth player in school history with 5,000. Healy, meanwhile, became ESU's all-time leader in all-purpose yards last Saturday and now has 5,731 for his career.

- Bloomsburg has hit a rough patch offensively as it has averaged only 272.5 yards during the two-game skid. The Warriors, however, rank 15th out of 16 teams in the PSAC in total defense as they allow 475.6 yards per game this season.

FROM THE ARCHIVES (by BU Archivist, Bob Dunkelberger)
- The last-minute touchdown on Saturday preserved Bloomsburg's school record streak of scoring in 158 consecutive games since a shutout by Shippensburg in 2003. While a second school record of scoring ten or more points in 78 straight games was broken, the team has still scored 13 or more points in 57 consecutive road games, dating back to the beginning of the 2007 season. The seven points versus the Golden Rams was the fewest the Huskies have scored against them since recording only a safety in a 34-2 loss at West Chester in 1992. It equaled the lowest total ever against the Rams in Redman Stadium, matched three times previously in 1975, 1977, and 1979. The 20-point margin of defeat was the largest in a home game versus West Chester since a 39-14 loss in 1987.

- Bloomsburg had its only score of the game on Saturday in the fourth quarter. The last time the team did that was the safety at West Chester in 1992. The last time the single score came in the fourth quarter of a home game led to a 7-7 tie with Kutztown in 1986. The fourth quarter score on Saturday was the 18th time the Huskies have managed just a single scoring play in the final period to avoid a shut-out since 1960. Last Saturday's was by far the closest to the end of the game (16 seconds). The previous closest was a touchdown at home in 1978 against Ithaca with 3:56 left to go in a 25-7 loss.

- Saturday's game ended in score of 27-7. It was the eighth time in school history a game has ended with that score, the Huskies now having a record in those games of 4-4. The four wins came in 1950 and 1951 with Wilkes and in 1970 and 1977 against Cheyney. The three previous losses were all on the road, versus the Wyoming Seminary in 1929, West Chester in 1956, and Millersville in 1979.

- The game with East Stroudsburg is the 88th in the series between the two schools, dating back to the first meeting in 1907 when Bloomsburg lost 5-4 at home. The Huskies' record in the first 87 games is 41-44-2, with a mark of 21-22-1 at home, 20-20-1 on the road, and 0-2 at a neutral site (Lackawanna County Stadium in Moosic). Since 1994, Bloomsburg has a record of 19-4 versus East Stroudsburg.
