GAME NOTES
• Wide receiver
Anthony Ice piled up a career-high 175 yards against Drake and scored three aerial-game TDs. He leads the PFL with eight touchdown catches this fall and ranks 11th in the FCS in total receiving yards. He had 239 all-purpose yards versus Drake, which is the top game in that stat in the PFL this season.
•
Anthony Ice's 858 receiving yards this season has cracked the top 10 for yards in a season in program history. He needs just 142 more yards to become only the fifth player in program history to achieve 1,000 yards in a season.
•
Bryce Patterson recorded a career-high 371 passing yards and four TDs versus Drake. In the past five games, he averaged 295.8 yards passing per game with 11 TDs through the air.
•
Bryce Patterson is up to No. 2 among all FCS quarterbacks in passing yards per completion. He averages 15.8 yards per completion.
•
Bryce Patterson has 18 completions of 25+ yards this season.
•
Keegan Zylstra had a career-best 98 yards receiving at Marist, including a 53-yard touchdown. On just four catches in the past two games, the deep threat has 152 yards. He is averaging 22.2 yards per catch.
•
Cross Watson leads the team at 23.2 yards per catch.
• Safety
Sidney Webb ranks first in the PFL in tackles per game at 8.5. His 19 tackles against Drake were the most by an Eagle defender since the 2021 season.
• Defensive back
Quinton Griffin has blocked a punt and a field goal this year and ranks tied for first (with five other players) in the FCS for blocked kicks.
• Sophomore kicker
Jordan Price is perfect in PAT kicks deep into his second year and has now nailed 62 consecutive collegiate PAT kicks. He was a perfect 30-of-30 on PAT kicks in his first college season and is now also 32-of-32 this season. In fact, he hasn't missed a kick this season, going 7-of-7 on field goals as well.
• According to known records,
Jordan Price is the first Eagle kicker in program history to successfully convert 50+ consecutive PAT kicks.
• Morehead State's 11 touchdowns scored against KCU tied the program's modern-era record of 11 set in 2012 against Valparaiso. MSU's seven passing TDs also tied the all-time MSU record for TDs through the air in a game.
• Freshman Linebacker
Blake Surratt has started the past four games and responded with 38 total tackles (9.5 per game). He also had his first career interception against Drake.
•
Ashton Adams and
Bryson Patten have shared punting duties this year but both are averaging 44 yards per boot. Adams has nailed nine kicks of 50+ yards and landed 12 inside the 20-yard line. Adams also has at least one 50+ kick in five games. Both would rank second in the PFL in average but do not have enough punts to qualify for national stat leaders.
•
Josh Bowling and
Zayden Harvey lead the team with four pass break ups.
• Six Eagle defenders have 40+ total tackles this season.
