Date: Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013 Time: 12:00 p.m. Location: Edinboro, PA Stadium: Sox Harrison Stadium (6,000) Radio: WHLM 930 AM — Jim Doyle (play-by-play) Andy Ulicny (color) Webstream: Edinboro.tv Edinboro (1-0, 0-0 PSAC W) Live Stats: GoFightingScots.com

QUICK SIX -Franklyn Quiteh enters Saturday’s game needing 180 yards to break the all-time BU and PSAC rushing record. He’s 137 yards away from moving into second place in the PSAC record books. -Danny Fisher needs three field goals and eight kicking points to establish new PSAC records. -Saturday marks Bloomsburg’s first trip to Edinboro since 2006 when the Huskies walked away from Sox Harrison Stadium with a 28-10 win. -Bloomsburg had eight first time starters in the lineup last week vs. Stonehill. -The Huskies have started 2-0 10 times since 1983. -BU seeks to score 30 or more points in its first two games for the second straight year. It has not tallied 40 or more points in its first two games since 1926 when it defeated Freeland 44-0 and Lock Haven 41-6. TODAY’S MATCHUP Bloomsburg will try to keep the momentum going after beating Stonehill in convincing fashion, 41-13 last Saturday at Redman Stadium. Saturday has the potential to be a record-setting day - with both Franklyn Quiteh and Danny Fisher within striking distance of the PSAC rushing and kicking records respectively. Quiteh needs 180 yards to break the PSAC rushing record while Fisher has 48 field goals and 280 kicking points, chasing the conference records of 50 and 287 respectively. Edinboro will look to keep its record unblemished as it opens its home schedule Saturday. The Fighting Scots came away victorious last Thursday night in a wild opener at Walsh, prevailing 35-34. The Fighting Scots seek a bounce back year after struggling to a 4-6 record a season ago, the first time Edinboro posted a losing record since the 2002 campaign. THE HEAD COACHES The more things change, the more they stay the same might be the motto for the Huskies this fall. Although longtime head coach Danny Hale has retired, taking with him a 173-56-1 mark during his tenure with the Huskies, the faces on the sideline remain very familiar with the majority of Hale’s staff remaining in tact.

Paul Darragh takes over the role of interim head coach this season after serving 16 years on the Bloomsburg coaching staff as defensive coordinator. Under Darragh’s leadership, the Huskies’ defense has ranked in the top half of the PSAC in total defense in seven of the past 11 seasons. Darragh began his tenure 1-0 following last week’s win. Edinboro head coach Scott Browning again leads the Fighting Scots as he enters his eighth season at the helm. Browning scored his 50th career win last week, moving his career record to 50-29. The Fighting Scots have shown tremendous consistency under Browning, recording winning records in each of his first six seasons including a 9-2 mark and an NCAA Playoff berth in 2009. That streak finally came to an end last year when the Boro finished 4-6. Browning’s history with Edinboro dates well over two decades as he served as an assistant coach with the program from 1986 until his elevation in 2006. LAST YEAR’S MEETING Bloomsburg scored a 30-14 triumph a year ago in what was the second game of the year for the Huskies, but the season-opener for Edinboro after the Fighting Scots had a bye in Week One. In the first meeting between schools since 2007, Bloomsburg dominated on the ground, out-rushing the Scots by a 319-104 margin. Franklyn Quiteh out-rushed the Scots by himself by gaining 134 yards with a touchdown on the ground. The Huskies seized a 16-0 lead at halftime and never relinquished their control. Edinboro quarterback Cody Harris finished the day 23-35 for 209 yards through the air but was sacked three times by the BU defense.
