Complete news and notes available in PDF version

CHRISTIAN ENDS LONG 200-YARD RECEIVER DROUGHT | Marist wideout Juston Christian’s 212-yard outing against Morehead State ended a long drought between 200-yard receivers in the PFL. The drought had reached 763 days dating back to Davidson’s William Morris, who amassed 208 receiving yards on Sept. 13, 2014. It is the second longest drought between 200-yard receiving efforts in the league, reaching just over halfway the 1,477-day drought from 2008-12.

GAHAFER BEGINS MOVE ON PFL PASSING MARK | Morehead State quarterback Austin Gahafer began his push toward the PFL’s career passing yardage mark with his 325-yard performance against Marist last week. He now has 10,528 career passing yards and needs just 703 yards to break the record of 11,230 held by Jacksonville’s Josh McGregor (2008-11).  Earlier this season, he blasted past 10,000 career passing yards with a 418-yard performance against Dayton in Week 6, becoming the sixth PFL quarterback to reach the 10,000-yard milestone.

WILL KICKS WAY TO PFL RECORD | Dayton kicker William Will broke the PFL record for career field goals with three conversions at Jacksonville in Week 7 to finish the week with 52 career field goals made. He broke the record held by Drake’s Billy Cundiff (49, 1998-01) and now sets his eyes moving into the FCS’ Top 25 for field goals made, which stands at 56 field goals made and is held by five different kickers.

DAYTON’S SCORING STREAK REACHES 450 GAMES | The nation’s longest streak of games without being shutout belongs to PFL-member Dayton, which extended the streak to an impressive 450 games with its Week 6 victory against Morehead State. On the FBS side, Florida holds the nation’s longest streak of games without being shutout at 352,dating back to the 1988 season. The Flyers streak dates back to 1976 when it suffered a 9-0 loss to Marshall.

SAN DIEGO OWNS FCS’ STINGIEST DEFENSE | Entering Week 8, San Diego’s defense leads the FCS in fewest points allowed in 2016, permitting just 13.3 points per game. In three of their six games, the Toreros have permitted just one score by the opposing team. A large part of that effort is due to owning the FCS’ best defensive unit against the pass, based on its FCS-leading 86.13 pass efficiency defense rating.

DAYTON’S CHAMBERLIN NOTCHES 50TH PFL WIN | Dayton head coach Rick Chamberlin became only the second PFL coach to record 50 league wins, reaching the milestone in Week 6 against Morehead State. He joins former Dayton head coach and College Football Hall of Fame member Mike Kelley, who amassed a 55-16 career PFL record in 15 seasons, as the only PFL coaches to record 50 league wins.
