2015 CASTLETON FOOTBALL Last Time Out: Castleton The Spartans put up their best defensive performance of the year, shutting out Mount Ida through three quarters en route to a 3414 victory on Saturday afternoon to improve to 3-2. Castleton scored five minutes into the game and then built up a 24-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the half. The Spartans stretched their lead to 31-0 before the Mustangs outscored Castleton 14-3 in the fourth quarter. George Busharis went 19 of 26 for 184 yards and a touchdown while Moe Harris ran for 161 yards and two scores.

Last Time Out: Gallaudet The Bison jumped out to a 6-0 lead on Norwich but wouldn’t score again as they fell to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the ECFC. Gallaudet led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, but the Cadets scored ten points in the final four minutes of the half to pull in front 10-6. Norwich added 17 points in the second half to secure the 27-6 win. The Bison totaled 11 first downs and 160 yards of offense as Ramon Johnson went 17-for-30 for 102 yards and a touchdown. John Anderson led the team with 48 yards rushing on 13 attempts.

Recent History Castleton has won two of its last three meetings with Gallaudet, highlighted by a 21-0 shutout of the Bison last year on the road. In that game Corey Brimmer scored twice in second quarter for a 14-0 lead at the half. Busharis threw a touchdown pass in the third quarter and the defense did the rest. They held Gallaudet to 135 total yards, including zero passing yards on 14 attempts and had 12 tackles for a loss with five fumble recoveries.

Scouting The Spartans: Offense: Castleton is averaging 22.2 points and 334 total yards per game, relying on a mix of the pass and run.

George Busharis leads the ECFC, averaging 205.2 yards per game and is second in the conference with seven touchdown passes. His top wideout has been Soren Pelz-Walsh, who leads in the ECFC in receptions (28), yards (504) and touchdowns (5). Makai Hawkins (20) and Anthony Porcelli (18) are second and third on the team in receptions, combing for 313 receiving yards and one touchdown. The duo of Moe Harris and Corey Brimmer are averaging 109 rushing yards per game, with Harris leading the team with 5.1 yards per rush and four touchdowns.

Defense: The Spartans are allowing 23.2 points and 364.2 yards per game this year, though rank second in the ECFC in rushing defense as they are giving up just 150.8 yards per game.

Moe Harris, Mo’ Problems... For the Opposition On Saturday Moe Harris became the second Spartan freshman to surpass 100 yards rushing twice in a single season. His 161 yards was the fourth highest single-game total in program history and the most ever by a Castleton runner at Spartan Stadium. Over his last four games, he is averaging 96.8 yards per contest on 5.4 yards per carry with four touchdowns.

Toeing the Line Junior Bobby Lineberger has been vital for the Spartans in special teams his year. Last Saturday he tied a career high with ten points on two field goals and four extra points. This year he has made all 15 of his extra point attempts and 2 of 3 field goals. He also serves as the team’s punter and ranks second in the ECFC with 37.8 yards per punt. He leads the conference in both punts inside the 20 (8) and fair catches (8), all without a touchback.

Common Opponents Castleton and Gallaudet have one common opponent this year in Mount Ida. The Spartans earned the 34-14 win while the Bison lost 4312 to the Mustangs.
