Sophomore TB Kenny Domzalski had 47 of his team-high 68 yards in the final quarter against Cal, including a 25-yard jont on a key 3rd down.

5 THE D-LINE: Senior Justin Presley registered another dominating performance against the Vulcans, posting seven tackles, including three tackles-for-loss and two sacks. This came after eight tackles and three sacks against the Ashland offense on opening night. In addition to Presley, junior Dave Huot added constant disruption with three tackles-for-loss against the Vulcans. Senior Alphonso Nathan and juniors Todd Givler and Marcus Zimmerman have also been threats on opposing offenses, combining for 10 tackles, 3.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery so far in THE DBs: The BU defensive backs have helped the Huskies limit Ashland and Cal to a combined 315 passing yards. Sophomore Oscar Rivera has posted 12 tackles, including one tackle-for-loss, one interception and one pass breakup. Senior Jesse Cooper and junior Alex Landis each registered seven stops against the Vulcans, while Landis came up with an interception in the first quarter on Saturday night. Sophomore Vince Browning came up with a turnover when he recovered a fumble forced by fellow sophomore Andrew Flogel on the opening kickoff of the third quarter against Ashland, while senior Domenique Price and junior Dan Oliver have added several key tackles and pass breakups in the Huskies first two games this season. KEEPIN IT LOW II: The BU defense has allowed just 17 points through two games. The last time BU allowed less than 20 points through two games was in 1997 when the Huskies gave up 18 in two games (a shutout in game one and 18 points in game two) and went on to finish 8-2. POSITIVE RETURNS: Jesse Cooper, an All-PSAC defensive back, has flashed his ability in the return game in Cooper returned the opening kickoff against Ashland 42 yards to the Eagles 40, giving the Huskies great field position on their first drive. He also returned three punts for 49 yards, including a 28-yard return late in the 4th quarter. Against Cal, the Vulcans twice angled their kickoffs away from Cooper, as he returned just one kick for 22 yards last week. JUST FOR KICKS: After going 2-for-2 on extra points against Cal on Saturday night, senior Jon Koenig has extended his streak of consecutive made point-after kicks to 67. His streak started against Cheyney in 2007 and extended through 2008 when he connected on 54-of- 54 kicks. Koenig connected on his only field goal attempt against the Vulcans, a 42-yarder early in the 2nd quarter. The kick equaled his career-long, which he established in 2006 against Northwest Missouri in the NCAA semi-finals and tied in 2008 against C.W. Post. THE FRESHMAN: Kicker Jared Shannon has been one of a few true freshman getting playing time for the Huskies in Shannon handles BU s kickoffs and ranks first in the PSAC in kickoff average at 64.6 yards. In other words, he routinely makes the returner field the kick inside their own 6-yard line. PSAC DEFENSIVE POW: Senior LB Anthony Smith received PSAC East Defensive Player of the Week honors for his outstanding play vs. Ashland on August 27. Smith recorded a career-high 11 tackles, including 0.5 tackles-for-loss, and led the charge on a goal line stand in the 2nd quarter. Ashland, which averaged over 37 points per game in 08, was able to muster just 261 yards and 7 points against Smith and the rest of the Husky defense. FROM THE ARCHIVES: The Cal win was the ninth consecutive road victory for the Huskies, and extends their school record which was set last year at Gannon. The previous record had been seven straight, first set from under head coach Robert Redman. It was then tied 2009 Game-By-Game Statistics Bloomsburg RUSHING PASSING TOTAL OFFENSE Att.
