THE GAME

The Huskies will seek their 25th straight victory over Cheyney when they make the trip to face the Wolves on the road this Saturday afternoon. Bloomsburg has not been defeated by Cheyney since a 31-28 defeat at home in 1989. Bloomsburg’s last loss at Cheyney came in 1982 (24-20). Turnovers may play a key role in Saturday’s game – while the Huskies lead the nation in turnover margin and have scored three defensive touchdowns in the past two games, Cheyney has a negative turnover margin on the year. Bloomsburg enters in as winners of its past four games while Cheyney is seeking its first win, being outscored 179-24 through the first four weeks. The Wolves are averaging 159.3 yards per game of total offense while opponents are averaging 411.8.

SERIES HISTORY

The upcoming game with Cheyney is the 55th in the series between the two schools, dating back to the first meeting in 1960. Bloomsburg’s record in the previous 54 games is 44-9-1, with a mark of 22-5 at home and 22-4-1 on the road. The Huskies have beaten the Wolves 24 consecutive times and 15 straight at Cheyney, both school records against a single opponent. The last Bloomsburg loss was at home in 1989 and last loss on the road to the Wolves was in 1982 by a score of 24-20.
