3 IUP REMAINS NO. 1 IN MEDIA NATIONAL POLL, NO. 3 IN COACHES TOP 25 For the first time since 1996, IUP achieved a No. 1 national ranking as the Crimson Hawks are atop the D2Football.com Media Poll in each of the last two weeks. IUP has also been ranked No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches' Poll for each of the last two weeks. IUP's No. 1 ranking in 1996 was in back-to-back weeks (Oct. 7-14), opening up that season with a 5-0 record.

Thought of as just a running team just two years ago, IUP's spread offense has hurt opponents on the ground and in the air. IUP IS 47-8 SINCE 2011 WHEN A PLAYER RUSHES FOR 100 YARDS IN A GAME The Crimson Hawks are 5-0 this year when a player rushes for 100 yards or more, with three different backs combining for six total 100-yard performances. Soph. RB Samir Bullock was the last IUP player to break 100, finishing with 168 yards in the week seven win at Slippery Rock. In the last seven seasons, IUP boasts a 47-8 record when a player rushes for at least 100 yards. Four active players on the roster have a 100-yard game to his credit: R-Jr. QB Lenny Williams, Jr. has nine, Bullock has eight, Fr. RB Justice Evans has two, and Fr. RB Duane Brown has one.

The Crimson Hawks are 78-5 in those games, including a 25-3 record since 2015 and 8-0 this year. IUP's season-high of 431 yards in the week five win at Seton Hill are the fourth most in program history. SAMIR BULLOCK POISED FOR FIRST CAREER 1,000-YARD SEASON Despite only playing in just two full games, Bullock is on the brink of his first career 1,000-yard season as he enters week 11 with 992 yards on 155 carries (6.4 avg). His 99.2 rushing yards per game ranks fifth in the PSAC and 30th in Division II. LENNY WILLIAMS IS 27-3 AS IUP STARTING QB; ALREADY ONE OF BEST IN PROGRAM HISTORY R-Jr. QB Lenny Williams, Jr. is in his third year as the IUP starter, carrying a 27-3 record into week 11.

Gregory came from Charleston, while Bryan was at Carnegie Mellon and Zacharias coached at Central Michigan. He also was able to see two-time All-American Ethan Cooper sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent at the conclusion of the 2017 NFL Draft in April. Cooper had multiple on-campus visits from teams, including the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons, Houston Texas and Jacksonville Jaguars, among others. Since coming to IUP, Tortorella has directed a defense that has consistently ranked among the best in the nation. His extensive knowledge of schematics and personnel has made him one of the most respected coaches in the area. Since Tortorella s first season with the program in 1995, 15 IUP defensive players have earned All-American honors, while 107 have been named to All-PSAC West teams. Four players have been named PSAC Defensive Player of the Year under Tortorella, with two freshmen earning conference rookie of the year accolades. IUP compiled a record of (.720) during Tortorella s 22 seasons leading the defense, as the program won nine outright or shared PSAC West regular season titles and earned 10 NCAA playoff berths. Tortorella got his coaching start on the prep level in 1985, serving as linebackers coach at Mount Lebanon High School. He then began a nine-year stint as an assistant coach at a pair of Division I universities, including six at Maryland and three at Akron. YEARS POSITION(S) SCHOOL 1985 Linebackers Mt.
