ABOUT THE GAME
• Millersville and Kutztown meet for the 82nd time Saturday afternoon at University Field in Kutztown, Pa. Both squads are looking to rebound from last week's PSAC Eastern Division losses.
• Millersville, now 1-7 overall and 1-4 in the PSAC East, is coming off a 55-38 defeat at C.W. Post. While the defense continues to struggle, the Marauders' offense is hitting its stride with Bill Shirk under center and Cardoza Jacks at running back. Jacks rushed for 139 yards, giving him two-straight 100 yard efforts and Shirk threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
• Kutztown, 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the PSAC East, had a two-game winning streak snapped with a 27-3 loss at East Stroudsburg last week. The three-point offensive output came on the heels of the Golden Bears scoring 73 points in its two previous victories.
• Offensively, Millersville and Kutztown seem evenly matched. Kutztown is averaging 23 points per game and the Marauders are up to 22.9 points per game and have scored 36.7 points per game in their last three outings. On defense, however, the Golden Bears are ranked fifth in the PSAC in rushing defense while the Marauders are 16th.

THE HEAD COACHES
• Greg Colby spent most of his career as an assistant at the Division I level, but has served as a head coach. From 1979-86, he was the head coach at Schlarman High School and Naperville High School in Illinois. While at Schlarman, Colby led the team to back-to-back Illinois High School 2-A State Championships (1981-82).
• Colby has an impressive resume. He came to Millersville after serving as the defensive coordinator at Northwestern from 2002-07 during which time the Wildcats posted three-straight six-win seasons for the first time in 70 years. He was also the defensive coordinator at Kent State for four seasons and served as a defensive assistant at Michigan State under Nick Saban and at Illinois under Lou Tepper.
• Raymond Monica is in his third season as head coach of Kutztown. During his tenure, he has posted a 12-17 record. Moniac came to Kutztown after serving as defensive coordinator at Division I-A Temple University for eight seasons, including the final seven as assistant head coach. During his tenure at Temple, Monica also guided the inside linebackers and defensive line.
• Monica began his coaching career as a student assistant coach, guiding the running backs at Northeast Mississippi Junior College in 1988. He moved on to North Alabama in 1989. There, he coached the running backs while completing his bachelor's degree in health, physical education and recreation, which he received in 1990.

ABOUT THE SERIES
• Saturday is the 82nd meeting between the two PSAC Eastern Division foes. Millersville holds a commanding 55-23-3 all-time record in the series and has won three of the last four and seven of the last 10 meetings. Kutztown is Millersville's oldest and longest running rival, as the first meeting occurred in 1903. The teams have met every since 1950. The Marauders have faced the Golden Bears more times than any other opponent. The two programs also met twice in 1904 before taking a hiatus until 1924. Millersville won the first two meetings by shutout (16-0 and 24-0) and was unbeaten in the first 10 meetings, winning eight and tying twice.
• Millersville's longest unbeaten streak came from 1970-1986 as the Marauders won 15 and tied once. Millersville held Kutztown to seven or fewer points in 11 of those meetings and registered a shutout in five. Kutztown's longest winning streak was five from 1965-69.

THE LAST TIME OUT
• Despite a career day of 300 yards passing from Bill Shirk and 139 yards rushing from Cardoza Jacks, the Millersville football team dropped a 55-38 shootout to C.W. Post's surprisingly prolific offense Saturday afternoon in Brookville, N.Y.
• The Millersville offense proved difficult to stop for the third-straight week and kept the Marauders close until late in the third quarter. The Marauders have now posted 35.7 points per game in its last three outings. Shirk continued his historic run as the starting quarterback, becoming the first Marauder to throw for 300 yards since Dan Csencsitz went for 301 against Bloomsburg in 2001. Shirk also threw for the three touchdowns for the second straight game and has eight in his last three outings.
• On the receiving end of Shirk's passes were the blooming wide receiver tandem of Andy Tischbein and Jamal Smith. Tischbein recorded his third-straight 100-yard receiving game (108 yards) on seven catches. He also hauled in a pair of TD passes, giving him five in the last two games. Not to be outdone, Smith posted a career-high 139 yards on five catches. It was his second 100-yard receiving since making the move from quarterback to wide receiver in week four.
• While the Marauders' offense played well, C.W. Post (2-6, 1-3) proved unstoppable. The Pioneers entered the homecoming match-up averaging just 12.0 points per game, but exploded for a season-high in points and a season-high 563 yards of total offense to snap a three-game losing streak. Quarterback Nick Gorretti had completed just 49.2 percent of his passes through his first seven games, but on Saturday, everything clicked as he hit on 17-of-20 passes for 263 yards. Running back Jason Gwaltney rumbled for 156 yards and four touchdowns.

THE LAST MEETING
• Kutztown quarterback Kyle Spotts' eight-yard touchdown run in the third overtime gave the Golden Bear's a wild 26-23 win over Millersville at Beimesderfer Stadium's Chryst Field on Saturday in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division action. This game was the regular-season finale for both teams.
• Spotts, a senior playing his final collegiate game, dove into the end zone for his third rushing touchdown after finding a seam on the left side on first-and-goal. He finished with 147 yards passing and 42 yards on the ground.
The Golden Bears (5-6, 2-3 PSAC East) needed at least a field goal on that drive to keep the game going after Millersville kicker John Banzhof nailed a 39-yard field goal to begin the third overtime. Banzhof had missed wide on field goals of 37 and 35 yards in the first and second overtimes.
• Millersville linebacker Matt Buck, who tied for the team high for the Marauders (3-8, 2-3 PSAC East) with 10 tackles, blocked a 34-yard field goal by Matt Dineen to end the first OT. Buck added a key 8-yard sack on third down during Kutztown's second overtime possession that helped force the Golden Bears to turn the ball over on downs.

SCOUTING KUTZTOWN
• Kutztown has won two of its last three games and last week managed just three points against an East Stroudsburg defense that had allowed nearly 26 points per game entering that meeting. Despite scoring just one field goal, running back Dontay Wilson continued to produce, running for 109 yards on 14 carries. He accounted for over half of Kutztown's 204 yards of total offense. Kutztown was also flagged for a season-high six penalties for 78 yards against East Stroudsburg.
• Wilson leads a Golden Bears rushing attack that is ranked fifth in the PSAC at 183.8 yards per game and averages 4.5 yards per carry. Wilson is averaging a league-best 8.3 yards per carry and is posting 98.3 yards per game, which is third-best in the league.
• The Kutztown passing game is not nearly as effective. Shane Martin is 97-of-193 and has thrown seven interceptions to six touchdowns. His 1,175 yards is seventh in the PSAC.
• The Kutztown defense has been solid especially against the run. It is fifth in the league, holding opponents to 124.2 yards per game and 3.0 yards per carry. The Golden Bears are also sixth against the pass, limiting opponents to 178.1 yards per game.

TOUGH SLEDDING
• Millersville has endured one of the most difficult schedules in the PSAC to date. Four of Millersville's first six opponents is .500 or better. Bentley and Shippensburg, at 3-5, have the lowest winning percentage of any opponent. Slippery Rock has five victories. Indiana (Pa.) is 5-2 and is ranked 21st in the nation. IUP's loses came to No. 6 California by two points and to nationally ranked Edinboro, 24-17. West Chester is 6-2 and reentered the national rankings at No. 24 this week. The Golden Rams' two losses came to California and to Delaware, which is ranked in the top 10 in Division I Championship Subdivision. Bloomsburg is the highest-ranked team in the PSAC No. 4 in Division II with an 8-0 record.
• Three of Millersville's opponents are nationally ranked. Slippery Rock has also received votes and East Stroudsburg is currently receiving votes. Looking ahead, Edinboro is on the schedule in the final week of the season and is currently ranked No. 15 in Division II.

300
• Bill Shirk completed 17-of-27 passes for 300 yards on Oct. 18 against C.W. Post, becoming the first Millersville quarterback to reach that plateau since Dan Csencsitz threw for 301 against Bloomsburg in 2004. Millersville played 40 games during that stretch without a 300-yard passer. Each of the last two 300-yard passing games, however, have come in losses.

BACK-TO-BACK
• After not having a 100 yard rusher for the first six games of the season, Millersville produced back-to-back 100 yard rushers in Cardoza Jacks in week seven and eight. After posting 274 yards against Cheyney on Oct. 11, he totaled 139 against C.W. Post on Oct. 18. Of the 1,121 rushing yards Millersville has on the season, 413 have come from Jacks in the last two weeks.
• Jacks has also scored two touchdowns in each of the last two weeks. He has four of the team's seven total rushing touchdowns this season.

SHOOT-OUT
• The Millersville and C.W. Post meeting on Oct. 18, 2008 was the highest scoring game in school history with 93 total points. The 38 points scored by Millersville was the most in a loss since 1989 when the Marauders fell 43-41 to Southern Connecticut State.

TWICE AS NICE
• On Oct. 18, Millersville wide receivers Andy Tischbein and Jamal Smith each had over 100 yards receiving. Tischbein totaled 108 yards and two touchdowns and Smith totaled 139 yards and one touchdown. It was the first time all year that both players made touchdown catches in the same game. It was the first time that two Marauders receivers have gone for 100 yards in the same game since Sept. 4, 2004 against Glenville State, when Ryan Clift and Omar Sanders had 108 and 104 respectively.
LEGIT THREAT
• Jamal Smith has emerged as a big-play wide receiver since moving from quarterback in week four. In his first game, he hauled in six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. Last week against C.W. Post, he totaled a career-high 139 yards on five catches and made his second touchdown catch of the season.
• Both of Smith's touchdown catches have been for over 50 yards this season. His 80-yard grab against West Chester is the team's longest completion of the season and was the longest since Drew Folmar's 91-yard TD pass to Sean Scott in 1999. Both of his TD catches are two of the three longest pass completions of the season for Millersville.

NEW FOUND OFFENSE
• With Bill Shirk at the helm, the Marauders have cranked up its offensive output. The Marauders have produced 36.7 points per game in the last three weeks, including an impressive 48-point showing against Cheyney and 38 points in a loss to C.W. Post. In the second quarter against Cheyney, the Marauders posted 24 points, which matched their best single game output all season to date.
• Shirk has been sharp, completing 22-of-33 passes to become the first Millersville quarter back since 2004 to complete at least 20 passes in a game against Bloomsburg. The last Marauder QB to perform the feat was Dan Csencsitz. Shirk's two touchdown tosses was the first two-TD pass performance by a Millersville quarterback this season, the first since Jamal Smith found the end zone twice in against East Stroudsburg on Sept. 29, 2007 and just the second since the 2006 season. Shirk improved upon that outing against Cheyney with three TD passes and another rushing. Shirk's three passing TD's were the most by a Millersville QB since Dan Csencsitz threw four against Mansfield in 2006. He followed that up with three more TD tosses against C.W. Post, giving him eight touchdowns in the last three games.
• Andy Tischbein's recorded six catches for a career-high 122 yards against Cheyney to go with his 111 yards receiving against Bloomsburg. It was the first back-to-back 100-yard games of his career and the third 100-yard receiving effort of the 2008 season for the Marauders. Tischbein made it three-straight 100-yard performance against C.W. Post with 108 yards. Tischbein now has six 100-yard games in his four-year career including three in the last three weeks.
• Against Cheyney, Tischbein made three touchdown grabs, which were the most by a Marauder since Joe Flamish caught three against Mansfield in 1999. Tischbein has 31 catches, six touchdowns and is averaging 96 yards per game in his last five games.

CATCHES IN BUNCHES
• Andy Tischbein's eight catches on Oct. 4 against Bloomsburg was the most by any Millersville player this season. It was his first eight-catch outing since Sept. 9, 2006 against Slippery Rock. He also made six catches the following week against Cheyney and seven against C.W. Post. Prior to the last three weeks, no other Millersville player has recorded more than six receptions in a game since Tischbein's 2006 effort.
• Despite only playing three quarters, junior running back Brad Lantz made five catches against Bloomsburg as well. It was his second five-catch of the game of the season (Aug. 29 at Bentley), but he was playing wide receiver the first time he accomplished the feat. The five grabs were the most by a Millersville running back since Lantz caught five passes for 52 yards against Bloomsburg on Oct. 28, 2006. The last running back to record more than five catches in a game was Omar Sanders, who made six receptions for 79 yards at Kutztown on Oct. 25, 2003.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
• Following record-setting rushing performance against Cheyney Saturday, Millersville running back Cardoza Jacks was named PSAC East Offensive Player of the Week Sunday afternoon.
• Jacks is the first Millersville player on either side of the ball to be honored by the PSAC this season, and his efforts on Saturday helped the Marauders to their first win of the season. He rushed for a career-high 274 yards--the highest rushing total by a Marauder since 1993 when Marc DeBellis went for 275 against Mansfield--and totaled a school record 44 carries.
• The 44 carries snapped Juan Jones' record of 40 that was set in 2005 and tied him for ninth most in PSAC history. Jacks also totaled two touchdowns, which helped the Marauders to 48 points and their highest offensive output of the season.
Jacks entered Saturday's game with only 13 carries for 46 yards in the previous six games. All 13 carries came in the Sept. 13 loss to Indiana (Pa.). With Saturday's performance, he now is the team's leader in total rushing yards.

SWITCHING SPOTS
• Junior Brad Lantz was an All-PSAC East Second Team pick at running back last season but was switched to wide receiver at the start of 2008. Lantz hauled in a team-leading 11 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown, but prior to the Sept. 20 game against West Chester, the coaching staff moved him back to his natural position of running back. Lantz picked up where he left off, rushing for a team-leading 62 yards against West Chester and then turned in the team's best rushing effort of the season with 80 yards against Shippensburg. Since moving back to running back, Lantz has 193 yards on the ground and nine catches.
• Also making a position switch was former starting quarterback and PSAC East Rookie of the Year Jamal Smith. Prior to the game against West Chester, Smith was moved to wide receiver where he caught six balls for 131 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of the yards came on an 80-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Bill Shirk. It was the team's only 100-yard receiving performance of the season at that point. Smith has had at least one catch in every game since moving to wide receiver.

MAKING A NAME
• Freshman Matthew Booker has made an immediate impact, ranking second on the team in rushing through eight games with 243 yards. His 3.9 yards per carry average is also second on the team. Booker totaled a career-high 78 yards against Slippery Rock, and he became the first Millersville freshman since Brad Lantz in 2006 to lead the team in rushing in the first two games of his career.
• His 39-yard jaunt against Slippery Rock on Sept. 6 is the team's second-longest run of the season.
• Booker's 58-yard reception against Cheyney was the team's second-longest pass play of the season.
• Booker is also one of only two Millersville running back to have a rushing touchdown this season.

CENTURY STREAK
• With 152 yards rushing against C.W. Post, Millersville has totaled more than 100 yards rushing as a team in each of the last 18 games dating back to the second game of 2007.
• The streak began in Jamal Smith's first career start at quarterback and has continued with Bill Shirk at the helm. Millersville is averaging 167.1 yards rushing per game since.
• The team has averaged 41.2 rushes per game in each of those games. So far this season, Millersville has rushed 40 or more times in two games including a season-high 50 against Cheyney in week seven. Millersville rushed 43 times for 103 yards in the season opener versus Bentley.
• The 280 yards against Cheyney was the most be the Marauders since gaining 313 against Kutztown on Sept. 30, 2006.

BEST FOOT FORWARD
• Matthew Booker and Matt Sutjak each made positive impressions in their Millersville debuts on Aug. 29 against Bentley and each were on different sides of the ball.
• Booker, a freshman running back, totaled a team-leading 43 yards on nine carries for a team-best 4.8 yards per carry. His gain of 12 was the team's second longest of the game. He is the first freshman to lead the team in rushing in the season opener since Brad Lantz in 2006. Lantz rushed for 53 yards on seven carries in his rookie debut.
• Sutjak, a sophomore transfer at safety, registered a team-high and career-high nine tackles as well as his first career interception. Sutjak took the interception for a 23-yard return. The last player that led the team in tackles in his Millersville debut was Andrew Pough in 2006. Pough made eight tackles. The last Marauder to make an interception in his first game was Brandon Shelton in 2004 against Indiana (Pa.).

ON DECK TO IN THE BOX
• Red-shirt sophomore quarterback Bill Shirk made his second career start against West Chester and was given his chance to shine. Shirk threw the ball 31 times, the most attempts by a Millersville starting quarterback in a single game since Aug. 26, 2006 when Dan Csencsitz tossed the ball 34 times against Shepherd.
• Shirk produced four touchdowns—three passing and one rushing—against Cheyney in week seven. He is the first Millersville QB to throw three TD passes since 2006.
• Shirk's 243 yards passing was the third most by a Millersville starting quarterback over the past four seasons. The only other quarterback to throw for more than 225 yards in a single game over that span was Csencsitz who did it twice, once in 2005 and again in 2006.
• Despite the WCU game being his first start of the season, Shirk has not been a stranger to the field. Against Bentley, Shirk came off the bench to complete a then career-high 8-of-12 passes for a then career-best 74 yards. His fourth quarter TD toss to Derek Fry was also the first touchdown pass of his career.
• Shirk's previous best outing was also against Bentley. In 2007, he completed a then career-high 6-of-9 passes for 50 yards.

PICK SIX
• Sophomore cornerback Dan McClellan turned defense into offense in the season opener against Bentley, taking a third quarter interception 43 yards for his first career touchdown. It was just the second interception of McClellan's career. Millersville has now had at least one interception return for a touchdown in eight-straight seasons dating back to 2001.
• The most notable playmaker in recent years was Brandon Shelton. Shelton returned five interceptions for touchdowns in his four-year career, including two in 2007 and two as a freshman in 2004.
• McClellan is just the fifth player in the last eight years to take a pick for a touchdown. Along with Shelton, Andrew Siggins performed the feat twice, returning one in 2005 and one in 2002.

DUAL THREAT
• While playing running back in his first two seasons at Millersville, Brad Lantz not only showed ability to run the football, but also catch the football. He not only led Millersville in rushing in 2007 and ranked second on the team in receiving. He made 15 catches for 119 yards to go with his 902 yards rushing. Including his receiving yards, Lantz finished the season with a team-leading 1,061 all-purpose yards and averaged 96.5 yards per game.
• His pass catching ability prompted the coaching staff to move him to wide receiver for the 2008 season. He made the most of the position switch, catching five passes for a team-leading 78 yards in the season opener at Bentley. On Millersville's second offensive play, Lantz made a 43-yard reception which is now the longest of his career. His previous long was a 36-yard catch on Sept. 30, 2006 against Kutztown. He now has four career catches of more than 30 yards. Lantz added a touchdown catch in the second game of the season as well. It was his first receiving touchdown since Nov. 4, 2006.
• Despite moving to running back, Lantz has continued to show his pass catching ability. He made five catches for 75 yards and a touchdown against Bloomsburg in week six.
• So far in 2008, Lantz is second on the team in receptions with 20 and is third in yards with 176. He also owns two of only seven receiving touchdowns the team has this season.

BY LAND AND AIR
• Millersville red-shirt sophomore quarterback Jamal Smith was named PSAC East Rookie of the Year in 2007, making him the first Marauder to earn that award since quarterback Drew Folmar in 1997 and just the second ever.
• He earned the award by impressing the opposition with his feet. In 2007, he rushed for a team-high five touchdowns and totaled nine on the season. His 1,440 yards of total offense led the team, and his 633 yards rushing was 352 more than any other quarterback in the league. Clarion Tyler Huether was second among quarterbacks with 281 yards.
• Smith's 633 yards is the most rushing yards by any quarterback in Millersville history and stands as the most rushing yards by a PSAC quarterback since before 2000. Only East Stroudsburg's Jimmy Terwilliger (503 in 2006) and Clarion's Adam Almashy rushed for more than 500 (513 in 2002) since Slippery Rock's Randy McKavish rushed for 641 in 2000.
• So far in 2008, Smith is tied for fourth on the team in rushing with 93 yards. He has also thrown for 144. He has rushed for 30 or more yards in nine of his 14 career appearances and for positive yards in 14 of his appearances.
• He has also added wide receiver to his resume, and with 332 yards receiving, he has a rare opportunity to record over 100 yards passing, receiving and rushing.
• Since moving to wide receiver, he has recorded a catch in every game.

WORK HORSE
• Brad Lantz has emerged as one of the most durable backs in the PSAC the last two seasons. He was named All-PSAC East Second Team last year after ranking sixth in the PSAC with 902 yards and an average of 82 yards per game.
• More impressively, he lugged the ball 234 times, which ranked second in the conference trailing only Bloomsburg's Harlon Hill nominee Jamar Brittingham. In the last two seasons, Lantz has totaled 1,759 yards and 12 touchdowns.
• Lantz is quickly advancing up the Millersville career records lists. In just over three seasons, he has moved into 13th-place in career yards and needs just 61 more to pass John Flamish (1998-2000) for 10th all-time. If Lantz stays on his current pace of 879 yards per season, he will finish his four-year career with 3,516 yards, placing him second to only the legendary Ricke Stonewall, who totaled 4,169 from 1981-84.
• Also, Lantz already ranks third in career carries with 472. He is on pace for nearly 800 career carries, which would shatter Stonewall's record of 648. It would also place him fifth in PSAC history behind Bloomsburg's Jamar Brittingham (2004-07).

SHOOTING FOR TWO AND THREE
• Millersville landed eight players on the All-PSAC East team a year ago. Tackle Adam Cobb and defensive end Kevin Kershner were first team honorees, and Brad Lantz and Jarrod Linn were on the second team.
• Cobb was the first Millersville offensive lineman to be a first team selection since center Matt Doherty in 1998. If he earns first team honors in 2008, Cobb will be the first Millersville offensive lineman to be a two-time first teamer since guard Chris Smith in 1993-94 and the first tackle since Greg Faulkner in 1992-93.
• Linn could possibly be a three-time All-PSAC East pick. The most recent Marauder to be a three-time selection was cornerback Marcus Banks (2005-07) and defensive back Braden Steffey was a four-time honoree from 2000-03.

FIRST TIME NOT A CHARM
• History was not on Greg Colby's side in the Aug. 29 opener against Bentley. With the 35-22 defeat, new Millersville coaches are 6-12-2 all-time in their debut. However, picking up a win in the first game is no indication of long-term success.
• Only one of the last 11 Marauder coaches won their debut. Joe Trainer defeated Indiana (Pa.) 28-9 in 2005. Before Trainer's victory, the last coach to win his Millersville debut was Philip Aines in 1923. At that time, Millersville was known as Millersville State Normal School and his team defeated Stevens Trade School 13-7.

RETURN OF THE STATE GAME
• One of the biggest changes to the PSAC this season is the return of the “State Game.”
• This will serve as the conference championship game and will be contended between the two division winners on the final day of the season. It will be the first time that the State Game has been contested since 1987.

MAKING CHANGES
• Not only did Millersville introduce a new head coach in Greg Colby and several new assistant coaches, but the PSAC picked up three new members in Mercyhurst, Gannon and C.W. Post.
• Mercyhurst and Gannon, both formerly of the GLIAC, will compete in the PSAC Western Division, and C.W. Post joins Millersville in the Eastern Division. The expansion brings the total number of football schools in the PSAC to 16, making it the largest football playing conference in Division II.
• In the wake of the PSAC expansion, the NCAA decided to create four “Super Regions.” These Super Regions pull together two regions. In the past, PSAC, NE-10 and WVIAC combined to create the Northeast Region. The PSAC, WVIAC and CIAA now make up the Atlantic Region and are a part of the East Football Super Region with the NE-10, NYCC and CACC of the New England Region.
• Now, to reach the NCAA Playoffs, a team must be ranked in the top eight in the region rather than the top 10.

NICE TO MEET YOU
• In addition to Greg Colby, Millersville football has added some new faces to the coaching staff. Among the newcomers are offensive line coach Derrick Roche, wide receivers coach Dave Keeny, tight ends coach Corey Adderly and intern Dondre Gilliam who will be helping with wide receivers and the return game.
• Roche was an All-American offensive lineman at Washington State and played in the 2003 Rose Bowl. He also spent the last three seasons at UTEP as a special teams assistant and program coordinator.
• Keeny served as the head coach at Kutztown from 1998-2005 and became the third winningest coach in school history.
• Gilliam was an All-PSAC wide receiver and returner while at Millersville from 1999-00.
• Also, changing responsibilities on the staff was Ron Rankin, who switched from the offensive line to the defensive line. Aubrey Kelly is now defensive backs coach instead of cornerbacks coach.
