CAL U NOTES
• Cal U finishes the regular season this weekend following two-straight losses in divisional play. The Vulcans trailed by 24 points at halftime last Saturday before suffering a 40-7 loss at Mercyhurst. Meanwhile, Millersville dropped a 62-14 contest to East Stroudsburg after allowing 41-unanswered points.

• Entering play in a three-way tie for first place in the PSAC West standings, Cal U suffered a 40-7 loss at Mercyhurst last Saturday. The Vulcans were limited to a season-low 244 yards of total offense and committed four turnovers, including two fumbles on special teams. Redshirt freshman quarterback Cody Schroeder finished with 133 passing yards on 15-of-34 attempts with two interceptions. Cal U rushed for 111 yards on 28 attempts in the loss. Redshirt senior linebacker Brett Diamond finished with eight tackles (five solo) and senior defensive lineman Jason Kates set a career high with eight stops (four solo).

• The Vulcans and Marauders are playing for first time since the 2006 season and only the second time in the last 25 years. Cal U won the first seven all-time meetings before Millersville won three-straight times with its last win coming in 1986.

• A veteran of 25-plus years as a college coach, Greg Colby is in his fifth season as head coach of the Marauders. While with the program, he has posted an 11-43 overall record with three wins in both 2009 and 2011. Prior to joining Millersville, Colby spent six seasons as the defensive coordinator at Northwestern and also was as assistant coach under Nick Saban at Michigan State from 1995-97.

• Millersville returns 21 starters (nine offense, nine defense) from last year's team that finished 3-8 overall and fifth in the PSAC East standings with a 2-5 mark. The Marauders enter the weekend averaging just 15.6 points and 265.0 yards of total offense, which both rank 14th in the league. True freshman quarterback Connor Casey leads the team with 665 passing yards while primarily playing only three games. Senior running back Mike Jones and junior wide receiver Dominic Sanders both rank among the top 20 in the PSAC with over 40 receptions. Jones has posted 413 receiving yards and a team-high four touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Myron Myles leads the team with 384 rushing yards, while junior Ian Sadon averages 6.6 yards per carry on 54 attempts. Millersville ranks last in the PSAC in both rushing and total defense, yielding over 500 yards per game. Linebacker Pat Maloney is the team's leading tackler for the third-consecutive year, registering 68 stops (18 solo) as a senior. Redshirt freshman defensive back Rasheed Johnson and sophomore defensive lineman Reggie Slaton both have made 58 tackles this season and Slaton leads the team with 9.5 TFL. On special teams, sophomore David Coates leads the PSAC with a staggering 1,029 yards on kickoff returns. Senior punter Jeff Lawson averages 38.9 yards on a league-high 73 punts, including a career-best 81-yard punt.

• With its second-straight loss, Cal U fell out of both the AFCA and D2Football.com Top 25 polls. The Vulcans had been ranked in the AFCA poll for 14-consecutive weeks and the D2Football.com poll every week since October 2009.

• The Vulcans dropped to 10th in the latest Super Region One rankings released on Monday. Cal U is one of five PSAC teams ranked in the top 10 in the region. The two top teams in the regional rankings receive first-round byes in the NCAA Playoffs, while the third and fourth seeds host opening-round games on Nov. 17.

• In the preseason, the league coaches selected IUP and Cal U as co-favorites in the PSAC West and defending-league champion Kutztown as the favorite in the PSAC East. The Crimson Hawks are hosting Shippensburg, who was fifth in the preseason poll, on Saturday in the PSAC Championship Game. In addition, Mercyhurst earned a share of the divisional title with IUP after being tabbed fifth in the PSAC West by the coaches in the preseason.

• Senior defensive back Rontez Miles, the 2011 PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year, is currently tied for second in the league with four interceptions. He also leads the team with a career-high 72 tackles (40 solo) this season. A First-Team All-American last year, Miles ranks fifth in school history with 254 career tackles (153 solo). He is the first player with at least 250 tackles in a career since former linebacker Josh Zunic (2004-07) tallied 258 stops.

• Last week at Mercyhurst, senior running back Lamont Smith became the fourth player in school history to rush for at least 3,000 yards in a career. A three-year starter, he is the first player to reach the milestone since Brandon Lombardy (2005-08). Smith, who has rushed for a team-high 744 yards this season, ranks fourth in school history with 3,023 rushing yards.

• Over the last two years, sophomore Jeff Knox, Jr. has made an impact while playing on offense, defense and special teams. Last week at Mercyhurst, he made his first career start at running back and scored his 18th career rushing touchdown. Knox is the first player in recent years at Cal U to start a game on both offense and defense in the same season, as he made three starts at defensive back earlier this year.

• In the last 10 seasons, the Vulcans hold a 24-6 record (.800) against PSAC East opponents. During that span, Cal U earned a 41-10 victory over Millersville in 2006, which marked the first meeting between the two teams since the 1987 season.

• In his first year as a starter, junior defensive lineman BJ Stevens leads the PSAC and has tied the single-season school record with 19.0 TFL. He also leads the league with 11.5 sacks, which is only 0.5 sack shy of tying the school record set by former linebacker Gary Butler in 2007 when he was selected the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year. A former standout at Gateway, Stevens has recorded at least 1.0 sack in six-consecutive games.

• Freshman Andrew Cerett leads the PSAC and ranks ninth in the country with an average of 42.8 yards per punt. He has placed 14 of his 38 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line and has recorded five punts of at least 50 yards. Last year, the Vulcans averaged 36.9 yards per punt which was their lowest season average since 2006.

• After missing all of last season due to injury, redshirt senior linebacker Brett Diamond is tied for the team lead with a career-high 72 tackles (34 solo) this season. He also is the team's active leader with 42 career starts, as he made 33 starts from 2008-10. Diamond ranks sixth in school history with 243 career tackles (125 solo) and has also added 22.0 TFL, 7.0 sacks and five interceptions while with the Vulcans.

• In just two seasons, sophomore kicker Cody Nuzzo already is tied with Gary Amos (2002-04) for fourth place in school history with 17 career field goals. Nuzzo also ranks fifth among kickers in school history with 128 career points, including a team-high 63 points this year. He is tied with former All-American Tyler Lorenz (2006) for third place in single-season school history with 11 field goals this year.

• While primarily using two quarterbacks due to injury, the Vulcans enter this weekend with the fourth-most passing yards in single-season school history. Senior Peter Lalich and redshirt freshman Cody Schroeder have combined to pass for 2,871 yards this year. Cal U is within reach of surpassing 3,000 yards for only the fourth time in school history, all since 2008.

• Cal U sophomore Jeff Knox, Jr. and Millersville sophomore David Coates enter the weekend among the most active kick returners in the PSAC. Coates leads the nation with 1,029 yards on a league-high 39 kickoff returns, including a 97-yard return for touchdown against West Chester. Knox ranks fourth in the league with both 446 return yards and 19 kickoff returns.

• The Vulcans feature a special group of 16 seniors in 2012. The class has collectively posted a 38-12 overall record (.760) over the last four years and an impressive 24-4 mark (.857) in PSAC West games. Combined, the 2012 seniors have started 292 career games.
