THE GAME
Bloomsburg and Shippensburg renew their long-standing rivalry on Saturday inside Danny Hale Field at Redman Stadium, meeting on the Huskies’ home turf for the second consecutive year. While the Huskies have won their first three games, Shippensburg will look to erase the sting of a 5634 loss to California (PA) at home last Saturday. That contest saw its share of offense as the two teams accounted for 1,174 yards of combined total offense with Cal racking up a whopping 660 yards while Ship finished with 514. Turnovers will be an issue to watch – Bloomsburg has been dominant in turnover margin thus far in 2014 to the tune of a +11 total, best in the nation, while Shippensburg is at the opposite end of the spectrum with a -5 margin, including three turnovers last Saturday. While Bloomsburg has forced four or more turnovers out of opponents in every game so far, Shippensburg has turned the ball over at least twice in each game.
SERIES HISTORY
Saturday marks the 79th meeting in the series between the two rivals, with Shippensburg owning a 45-33 all-time lead. The Raiders have owned the rivalry in recent years, scoring a pair of wins in 2012 at home – 49-42 in the regular season and a 58-20 win in the first round of the NCAA Playoffs. Last year, Shippensburg spoiled Bloomsburg’s 8-0 start to the year with a 34-18 win on Halloween Night. The Huskies, however, own a 21-18 edge all time in 39 games played on campus at Bloomsburg. The Huskies defense has generated four or more turnovers in every game this season.
