Scouting Alfred State:
- The Pioneers will look to bounce back after falling 55-6 last week. Anthony Allen scored the lone TD for the blue & gold when he rushed in from one-yard out after a Brockport fumble was recovered by Bladimir Vargas. Elijah Rimpel led the way for the Pioneers with nine tackles while Rylie Van Fleet had eight.
- The Pioneers will look to be balanced on offense this week. Dashown Wilson will look to improve his efficiency and get some his young receiving corp going. Look for a handful of Pioneers to share the rushing duties as well.
- Turnovers was a key in the first three games for the Pioneers. Alfred State is still a +5 in turnover ratio. Ironically, no one on the team has more than one interception or fumble recovery.
- Winning the battle on the line will be key as well. The Pioneer quarterbacks have been sacked 12 times this year while the blue & gold defense only has six sacks (4 by Elijah Rimpel).
Scouting Keystone:
- The Giants are coming off a 27-26 victory over Morrisvlle two weeks ago. Keystone, who is playing in their first year of football since 1948, has a limited seven game schedule this season.
- Johnathan Banks and Thomas Roach has split time at QB thus far. Damir Green has led the team in rushing and Javeir Tazza has been the most popular receiver.
- Sean Tocci leads the team in tackles while Brandon Lawyer is right behind him.
- Opponents have been able to pick up big plays vs. the Giants thus far. Teams are averaging 5 yards per rush and 13.46 yards per catch.
Last Year's Meeting:
- This is the first meeting between the two schools. Keystone is playing their first year of football - they will become a full member of the ECFC next season.
