The Toreros need a win in one of their final two PFL outings to clinch a share of their eighth PFL title. That also would assure them no worse than a tie with both Dayton and Marist for the league title and they would win the tiebreaker (and the league’s automatic bid) as they defeated both teams during the regular season.

He finished the game with 11,259 career passing yards, breaking the record held by Jacksonville’s Josh McGregor (2008-11). Gahafer is now 19th on the FCS career passing yards list, 291 yards from entering the Top 15 all time. RAYMOND TOP PFL RECEIVER | Joining teammate Gahafer in the PFL record book, Morehead State slot receiver Jake Raymond became the league’s career receptions leader in that same Week 10 outing at Butler, finishing the game with 263 career catches. He broke the record held by Butler’s Zach Watkins (2008-11). Raymond’s receptions total is 17th most in FCS history, he needs 19 receptions to break into the Top 15 all time.
