GAME NOTES ONE MILESTONE DOWN, ONE TO GO: With his catch last week, senior WR Ricky Douglas moved into sole possession of first place on the modern-day career receptions list. He passes former WR Sheldon Loughner who posted 76 catches in his career. His 12 yards receiving against Waynesburg put Douglas within 144 yards of the career receiving yards mark of 1,239, also set by Loughner. 22 and Counting: Douglas also extended his reception streak to 22 games last week. The last time he did not record a catch in a game he played in was the 2010 seasonopener against Bridgewater (Va.). The modern-day record is 26 games and is also held by Loughner. SETTING THE BAR HIGH: Sophomore WR Lazaro Garcia made his first career reception against the Yellow Jackets, which is a memorable moment itself. However, he also raced 80 yards for a touchdown on the play after hauling in a pass from classmate Matt Deakins. The play is tied for the fourth-longest pass play in the modern era (Mike Speal to Loughner against Thiel, 2007) and is the longest since Jake Smith hit Dan Blaszkowski for an 84-yard pass against W&J in 2009. THE BEARD HAS SPOKEN: With 32 yards receiving against Waynesburg, senior TE Cody Strelick moved into second for modern-day career receiving yards by a tight end with 269 yards. First place is former TE Jake Gabelt who totaled 465 yards through the air.

It’s the longest kickoff return in modern-history, passing Zach Mihalko’s return against W&J in 2008, the only other KOR for a TD since the re-birth of football. He also set the Chuck Noll Field record, surpassing the return of Bethany’s Ed Holmes, which went for 82 yards last season.
