QUICK SIX -Danny Fisher needs one field goal to break a tie for the all-time PSAC record, entering today’s game with 50 during his BU career. -Now the owner of the PSAC career rushing record, Franklyn Quiteh seeks his 20th straight 100 yard rushing game. -Last Saturday was the eighth time Quiteh has surpassed 200 yards rushing in a single game. -Quiteh (206.5 yards/game) and Dai’Shon Munger (134.0) are first and fourth in the PSAC in rushing. -The Huskies have won their last five PSAC East openers dating to 2008. -The BU offense is averaging 44 points and 584 yards of offense through two games. TODAY’S MATCHUP Divisional play begins this Saturday with Bloomsburg’s first PSAC East challenge coming at Kutztown. The two teams have started their seasons in opposite fashions, with Bloomsburg aiming to keep its record unblemished after winning its first two contests of the season. Kutztown, meanwhile, began its schedule with two road games – losing in overtime to Clarion, 39-38, in the first weekend of the year before dropping a 45-10 decision at California (PA) last Saturday. The Huskies look to start a new winning streak vs. the Golden Bears after holding off Kutztown in a 44-37 shootout last season. That victory avenged a 52-14 loss at Kutztown in 2011 which snapped what had been an 18-year winning streak for BU against the Golden Bears. Saturday marks the 67th meeting in the all-time series between schools.

the PSAC in total defense in seven of the past 11 seasons. Darragh has started his tenure as head coach with a 2-0 record. Like Bloomsburg, the Golden Bears also have a new man on the sidelines as head coach this year - Drew Folmar. Folmar is no stranger to the PSAC, putting together a brilliant playing career while as quarterback at Millersville from 1997-2000. A member of the Millersville Athletics Hall of Fame, he was a four-time All-PSAC East Selection and posted a 20-4 record against PSAC East competition. He was promoted to head coach in January after directing the KU offense and coaching its quarterbacks since 2009 during a period when the Bears posted a 28-8 record. LAST YEAR’S MEETING Bloomsburg came away victorious, 44-37, following a shootout with Kutztown at Redman Stadium on Sept. 15, 2012. Both offenses were buzzing that day as the Huskies posted 555 yards of total offense and Kutztown finished with 470. Turnovers were a key - BU turned the ball over five times, including seven total fumbles, as did the Golden Bears. The difference came through Bloomsburg’s ability to balance the offensive attack a bit more than Kutztown - while the Golden Bears picked up 376 of their 470 total yards through the air, the Huskies passed for 246 yards with quarterback Tim Kelly and also rushed for 309. Franklyn Quiteh rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown and also registered 75 receiving yards and another score through the air.
