GAHAFER CREEPING UP ON 10K | Morehead State quarterback Austin Gahafer enters Week 5 needing just 523 passing yards to reach the 10,000-career passing yard mark. He is the FCS active career leader in passing yardage and is fifth among all NCAA active career leaders at all levels. Only five PFL quarterbacks have reached 10,000 career passing yards in league history.

RAYMOND SETS EYES ON PFL RECEPTIONS MARK | Morehead State slot receiver Jake Raymond has focused his attention on the PFL’s career receptions mark. He enters this week’s action with 225 career receipts, second among FCS career leaders. Raymond seeks to break the record of 254 career receptions set by Butler’s Zach Watkins (2008-11). 

WILL ENOUGH TO REACH 50? | Dayton kicker William Will enters the week with 46 career field goals, ranking fourth on the FCS career active leader’s list. He needs four field goals to reach 50 career field goals made, breaking the PFL record held by Drake’s Billy Cundiff (49 made, 1998-01).

HODGES AMONG ALL-PURPOSE LEADERS | San Diego’s Jonah Hodges is the nation’s No. 2 all-purpose runner after four weeks, averaging 187.33 all-purpose yards per game. While he is averaging 89.7 rushing yards per game, he has tacked on 59.3 receiving yards and 38.3 kickoff return yards per game. Hodges is averaging 8.0 yards per touch on all runs this season.

NO BUTTERFINGERS IN DES MOINES | After four weeks, Drake is one of only nine teams in the FCS not charged with a fumble lost in 2016. In addition, Valparaiso and Campbell are among 32 teams to have only one fumble lost this season.

LIVING IN THE BACKFIELD | Stetson’s defense leads all FCS units with 11.7 team tackles for loss per game this season. That number spiked  with its 16 tackles for loss recorded against Jacksonville in Week 4, a total that is second most in the nation this season. Only Davidson’s 18 TFL performance against NAIA member Livingstone ranks higher.

DAYTON KEEPS NATION’S LONGEST SCORING STREAK ALIVE | The nation’s longest streak of games without being shutout belongs to PFL member Dayton, which extended the streak to an impressive 447 games despite its Week 4 loss at San Diego. On the FBS side, Florida holds the nation’s longest streak of games without being shutout at 351,dating back to the 1988 season. The Flyers streak dates back to 1976 when it suffered a 9-0 loss to Marshall.
