3 SPLASH PLAYS BIG PART OF THE OFFENSE IN 2017 The Crimson Hawks ran 75 offensive plays in Saturday s win over East Stroudsburg, finishing with eight plays that covered more than 20 yards (two rush, six pass). IUP s longest play of the day came off the arm of R-Jr. QB Lenny Williams, Jr., who found R-So. WR Dom McNeil over the middle for a 69-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

STILL EARLY, CRIMSON HAWKS LEAD THE PSAC AND RANK 8TH IN DIVISION II IN TOTAL OFFENSE On the heels of a 607-yard performance against East Stroudsburg, the Crimson Hawks lead the conference by averaging yards of total offense through the first two weeks of the season. That total is also good for eighth overall in Division II. IUP finished the 2016 season ranked 12th in the nation with an average of yards per game, which set a single season program record. IUP IS 44-8 SINCE 2011 WHEN A PLAYER RUSHES FOR 100 YARDS IN A GAME Fr.

CRIMSON HAWKS ARE 72-5 SINCE 2003 WHEN RUSHING FOR 200 YARDS AS A TEAM Brown led a ground game that finished with 324 rushing yards in week two, marking the 77th time since 2003 that IUP has rushed for at least 200 yards in a game.

He caught a career-high nine passes for 102 yards in the opener, and followed that up with five receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown in week two. He also leads IUP with four receptions of 20 yards or more. In his first full year on offense in 2016, Wright was a big play target with 18 catches for 454 yards (25.2 avg.) and four touchdowns. DOM MCNEIL ALSO SHOWING BIG PLAY CAPABILITY IN EXPANDED ROLE R-Soph. WR Dom McNeil posted his first 100-yard receiving day, catching five passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in week two. He owned the biggest play of the day against ESU, catching an intermediate crossing route from Williams and turning into a 69-yard touchdown. After catching just one pass for nine yards in nine games a season ago, McNeil has eight receptions for 162 yards (20.2 avg) and two touchdowns through two weeks this season. WALT PEGUES AMONG BEST RECEIVERS IN IUP HISTORY Even with two wins and breakout play from receiver, Sr. WR Walt Pegues has been missed as an injury has delayed his 2017 debut. He does head into his final year ranked third in IUP history with 2,301 receiving yards and fourth with 145 receptions. He s been a consistent threat since day one, also entering the year with a streak of 33 games with a reception, tallying at least one catch in every game he's played.

OC Jeff Arnold. Those two have a combined 35 starts between them, as R-Sr. Jerron Searles stepped in at right tackle, Gr. Rocco Esposito at right guard, and R-Soph. Colin McAllister and left guard. The group has helped the Crimson Hawks average rushing yards while giving up just one sack through two weeks. IUP IS 17-1 SINCE 2011 WHEN SCORING A DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN R-Soph. DB JR Stevens returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown in week two, making it the 21st defensive score for the Crimson Hawks since IUP is nearly unbeatable in games in which its defense scores a touchdown, going 17-1 in those games over the last seven season. Last year, the Crimson Hawks tied for sixth in Division II with six defensive touchdowns - three on interceptions and three on fumbles. Last year, Eric Doe returned a blocked field goal 95 yards for a score (which NCAA statistics count as a fumble return) against Cheyney, and in 2015 Allen Wright returned an interception 23 yards for a score.

5 CRIMSON HAWKS LEAD THE PSAC IN PASSING AND TOTAL DEFENSE Through two weeks, the IUP defense is again asserting itself as one of the best in the nation as the Crimson Hawks lead the PSAC in passing (142.0) and total yards (292.0) allowed. Those numbers also rank 26th and 29th, respectively, in Division II. The IUP "D" played big in the season opener, shutout out Ashland in the second half while allowing the strong GLIAC team total just 361 yards of offense. The Crimson Hawks improved in game two, shutting down the ESU passing game (81 yards) while allowing just 223 yards of total offense.

A total of nine defensive linemen have seen playing time this year, combining for 53 tackles, 5.5 tackles-for-loss, and 5.0 sacks. Sr. DT Jemal Averette leads all linemen and is fourth on the team with 12 tackles this season, while also posting 2.0 TFLs and a sack.

Through two weeks, Lloyd is second on the team with 16 total tackles, including nine in the season opener. Amendola is tied for fourth on the team with 12 stops, adding a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. NOTRE DAME TRANSFER MAX REDFIELD LEADS CRIMSON HAWKS IN TACKLES Sr. SS Max Redfield has made his presence known early this season, as he leads the Crimson Hawks with 18 total tackles through two weeks. He put up 10 tackles in the opener against Ashland, and followed that up with eight tackles and a Bill Thompson State Farm Player of the Game nod after the win over East Stroudsburg. The Notre Dame transfer started 23 games and made 144 tackles in three seasons with the Fighting Irish. An NFL talent, he ll be counted on to play all over the defensive backfield in ALL-AMERICAN JAY WATKINS SAW STREAK OF 25 STRAIGHT STARTS END LAST WEEK Sr. CB Jay Watkins saw his streak of 25 consecutive starts end last week, as he missed the ESU game with an injury. After losing nearly all of his 2014 season due to injury, he started 12 games each in 2015 and 2016, and the 2017 season opener against Ashland. Watkins led the PSAC and tied for third in Division II with seven interceptions in 2016, and has played in 35 career games at IUP with 11 interceptions.

Through week two, Turner has 23 career starts, including 11 a season ago when he finished second on the team with 68 total tackles to go along with three interceptions. MIKE PIETROPOLA SETTLING IN AT DEFENSIVE BACK After two years of bouncing around between quarterback, defensive back, receiver, and back to quarterback, Jr. FS Mike Pietropola looks to establish himself as a full-time defender. Pietropola is part of the Crimson Hawks' talented defensive backfield, totaling six tackles with a sack through two weeks this season. He's also one of IUP's returners, averaging 15.7 yards on three kickoff returns and 7.2 yards on four punt returns. CRIMSON HAWKS' TWO BLOCKED KICKS ARE AMONG BEST TOTALS IN DIVISION II After last season's eight blocked kicks - which ranked third in Division II - the Crimson Hawks are back at it again with two blocks in the season opening win over Ashland. R-Sr. NG Justin Weldon blocked an early point after attempt and R-Soph.
