NEWS AND NOTES
• This is game number 999 for the scarlet and gray in season No. 102. Newberry has a 413-549-36 record.
• Newberry will look to slow down the most prominent rushing offense in the nation, as the Bears average a stunning 407.4 yards per game.
• The Wolves have seen run-oriented option attacks for the last two weeks against Carson-Newman and Brevard, but the No. 1 rushing defense in the South Atlantic Conference will be put to the test. Newberry currently allows only 156.9 rushing yards per game.
• Lenoir-Rhyne has lost its last two games to Wingate and Mars Hill, with the defense being gashed for big yardage. L-R ranks 138th nationally (of 169) in total defense and 118th in scoring defense, allowing 438.9 yards and 31.3 points per game.
• This could spell big things for the Wolves, who have been prolific on the ground all season, but exploded for over 300 passing yards against Brevard.
• Running back Romelo Doctor has a chance to go over 1,000 rushing yards for the season and move into the top 10 in career yardage today.
• Quarterback Raleigh Yeldell also has a chance to go over 1,000 passing yards for the season today.
• The defense will be key though, with leading tackler Taylor McDonnell keying on L-R quarterback Evin Sims. Sims averages 103.9 yards per game.
• Outside linebackers Nate Sichali and Will Elm will have an eye on Kristiaan Ivory, who leads the Bears with 113.4 yards per game.

BLOCK PARTY

• Newberry ranks in a tie for sixth nationally in blocked kicks this season after blocking two punts and a field goal in the North Greenville game.
• Of the Wolves’ six blocked kicks, two were punts, one was an attempted PAT and three were field goal attempts.

THE LEG

• Newberry College senior punter Kyle Clark ranks fifth amongst all current Division II punters in career punting average.
• His 40.3 average per punt also ranks 60th amongst all NCAA punters in career punt average.
• With a minimum of 100 punts, Clark is the active current leader for all South Carolina punters
• For the season, Clark averages 43.5 yards per punt, which ranks fifth in Division II. He jumped 3 spots since last week.
• Clark was also named the AstroTurf/South Atlantic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on September 28 after averaging 45.8 yards per punt in the win over Tusculum.
• Clark has also been excellent in changing the field position of the game throughout his entire career.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

• Romelo Doctor has had a fantastic season rushing the football, with 843 net yards on 166 carries.
• He needs only 157 rushing yards in the final three games of the season to reach 1,000 yards for the season.

• He also needs only 38 yards to reach the top 10 in the school’s career records

• He has five 100-yard rushing games this season, which gives him eight for his career.
• This ties him with Pete Bember and Chad Tackett for the sixth-most in school history.

• On top of that, Doctor has become the fourth Newberry back (fifth overall time) to rush for 100 or more yards in four consecutive games.
• With a 100-yard game against Lenoir-Rhyne, he would be the first Newberry player to ever rush for the century in five straight games

 KEEPING IT ONE HUNDO

• The Newberry rushing attack has been fantastic this season, already producing 10 100-yard individual rushing games in the first eight games.
• This establishes a newschool record for 100-yard games, breaking the record of nine, which was set in 1970.
• Here are the 100-yard performances so far this year.

YELDELL’S BIG AIR DAY

• Newberry quarterback Raleigh Yeldell had one of the nation’s most prolific days for a quarterback in Division II in the win over Brevard.
• For his efforts in the game, Yeldell earned ECAC Division II Offensive Player of the Week honors.
• Yeldell completed 24-of-28 passes for 279 yards and five touchdowns with a quarterback rating of 228.3.
• He finished the game with 16 consecutive completions
• His 5 touchdown passes ties him with Josh Stepp for the third-most in a single game in Newberry history.
• His 85.7% completion percentage is the third best in a single game by a Division II quarterback this season and his 5 TD passes is tied for 10th most nationally this season.
• His 279 yards is a career best and his second consecutive game over 250 passing yards. 

COOKING IT UP

• Newbery wide receiver Jalen Cook was on the receiving end of a pair of Yeldell touchdowns.
• He totaled 105 receiving yards on six catches.
• This marked Newberry’s first 100-yard receiving game since Corey Washingto and Jason Livingston in the 2013 Brevard game.
• This was also another first, as the Wolves had a quarterback pass for 250 yards, a back rush for 100 yards and a receiver have 100 receiving yards for the first time since Josh Stepp, Alex Haynes and Tymere Zimmerman did so in the 2006 game against Carson-Newman.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

• Newberry quarterback Zach Blair was sacked and fumbled the ball in the fourth quarter vs. Brevard.
• The play was not over though, as reserve offensive guard Austin Turner picked up the ball and advanced it eight yards.
• By rule, Turner is given credit for the eight yards rushing, but Blair is given the initial carry.
• This gives Turner zero carries for eight yards.
• As professors in Newberry’s mathematics department will tell you, you cannot divide an integer by zero.
• This gives Turner an inifinite yards per carry average.
