FIVE THINGS TO WATCH
- Having already clinched a winning record for the 18th consecutive season, Bloomsburg will look to extend its streak of consecutive seasons with at least seven victories to 18 straight years when it travels to 11th-ranked IUP on Saturday. The Crimson Hawks have won four straight and are 8-1 on the season. This will be the 29th meeting between the two programs with IUP holding an 18-10 advantage over the Huskies. However, Bloomsburg has won five straight and has not lost to IUP since 2003. The Huskies are just 3-10 lifetime in Indiana.

- Bloomsburg needs a win on Saturday to reach seven victories for the 18th straight year. Only Division I's Florida State (31), Virginia Tech (24), Oklahoma (18), and Boise State (18); Division II's Northwest Missouri State (20); and Division III's Mount Union (28) have longer streaks in all of college football. Florida State (6) has not extended its streak this season.

- Senior Lawrence Elliott Jr. (Utica, N.Y./Thomas R. Proctor) is on several milestone watches as he heads into Saturday's contest. He needs 30 rushing yards to move into the top ten on the school's all-time list and he needs 54 rushing yards to become the tenth player in school history to rush for 2,500 career yards. He also needs one all-purpose yard to become the fourth player in school history to reach 5,000 all-purpose yards for his career.

- Redshirt sophomore Chris Gary (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Wood) needs one sack on Saturday to tie the single-season school record of 13.5 set by Larry Webster during the 2012 season. His 12.5 sacks is tied for the second-most in a single season in program history. Gary leads the PSAC in sacks and ranks eighth in the country in that department.

- IUP enters the contest ranked third in the country in scoring offense (47.6) and is 11th in the nation in total offense (510.1). The Crimson Hawks are tied for the national lead in turnover margin (+18) and they rank third in third-down percentage (57.4%). IUP has converted 70 of 122 third-down opportunities this season.

FROM THE ARCHIVES (by BU Archivist, Bob Dunkelberger)
- Last Saturday's game was the first in program history to end with a final score of 22-19. In now 12 games all-time that Bloomsburg has scored 22 points, its record is 9-3.  This was the first home victory scoring 22 points since a 22-12 defeat of New Haven State in 1952. The victory over Shippensburg was also the 19th time the team has surrendered 19 points in a game, compiling an all-time record of 8-11. The last 19-point game before this one was a 24-19 win over California at home in 2006.
 
- The victory over Shippensburg ensured the Huskies of an 18th consecutive winning season, extending the school record.  The previous one was ten, set from 1946 to 1955.  They also extended the school record of 18 years in a row with at least six victories.  The previous high had been five straight years, set twice, 1947-1951 and 1984-1988.  The team has ended a season with six victories eight times: 1903, 1947, 1953-1954, 1960, 1967, 1978, and 1984.
 
- Bloomsburg scored its 20,000th point in program history Saturday, on the come-from-behind game-winning fourth quarter touchdown pass from Duffy Gilhool (Upper Chichester, Pa./Chichester) to Ethan Price (Coopersburg, Pa./Southern Lehigh).  The Huskies have now won all four games in which landmark points (5,000, 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000) have been scored.  All have come on touchdowns.  The first two occurred in games with comfortable margins of victory, 20 and 19 points, while the last two were late game-winners.  The 15,000th point was a two-yard Jamar Brittingham run in the fourth quarter at Slippery Rock in 2004, as the Huskies came from behind to win 20-17.
 
- The Huskies' offense has improved steadily over the years, as reflected in taking less time to score each set of 5,000 points.  It took 414 games to score the first 5,000, 309 the second, 186 to score the third set, and 151 the fourth 5,000 points.
 
- The upcoming game with Indiana (PA) is the 29th in the series between the two schools, dating back to the first meeting in 1925, a 7-0 loss at home.  Bloomsburg's record in the previous 28 games is 10-18, with a mark of 7-8 at home and 3-10 on the road.  The Huskies have won five straight versus the Crimson Hawks since 2004, half of all the wins against Indiana during the past 91 years.  The Huskies last lost at Indiana in 2002.
