Clarion out-gained the Marauders 407-195 and recorded 21 first downs to Millersville's 11 first downs but turned the ball over three times in the loss.

Scouting the Marauders

• Millersville was predicted to finish seventh in the PSAC East division in 2026. They are in their first season under head coach Drew Folmar, a Millersville Athletics Hall of Famer and former record-setting quarterback.
• The Marauders enter the weekend with a 1-9 overall record, including an 0-6 record in divisional play.
• Running back Mekhi Ashby has been a force in the Marauders' offense, carrying 117 times for 705 yards and four touchdowns to rank fifth in the conference in rushing. Jayden Walters and Kyreek Bradshaw have been deep threats, with both receivers averaging 17.50 yards or better per reception and scoring three or more touchdowns.
• Bryce Beutler leads the PSAC in tackles with 105 on the season, including 51 solo stops (second in PSAC). Beutler has also forced three fumbles this season, tied for second in the PSAC.

 
Last Week

• The Golden Eagle football team earned their biggest road win of the season against one of the oldest foes in their record book, beating IUP at George P. Miller Stadium in the PSAC West finale for both teams. Clarion out-gained 370-338 and capitalized on Crimson Hawk penalties en route to the victory.
• The win was the first for the Golden Eagles against IUP since Oct. 16, 2010, which was also the last time Clarion defeated the Crimson Hawks in Indiana.
• Tyreeck Hall finished with his third 100-yard rushing game of the season, carrying 21 times for 113 yards. Davon Jones pulled down five passes for 114 yards and a touchdown as Jase Ferguson was an efficient 15 of 19 for 211 yards and three touchdowns. Najhir Kibidor had 10 tackles and a tackle for loss while Jaylin Miller got a sack on IUP's final drive to seal the win.

 
Hall Finds Another Gear

• Speaking of explosive plays, running back Tyreeck Hall has been involved in some of the longest plays from scrimmage for the Golden Eagles this season, including the longest run of the year.
• In the fourth quarter against West Virginia Wesleyan on Sept. 3, Hall recorded the second-longest run in Golden Eagles history, rushing 87 yards for a score to put an exclamation point on the win over the Bobcats.
• Hall's burst ranks as the longest run ever recorded at Memorial Stadium, topping the previous record, an 84-yard run by Clarion Sports Hall of Famer Alfonso Hoggard in 2010 against Slippery Rock. The longest rush in Clarion history came in 2012, when quarterback Ben Fiscus ripped off an 88-yard run against LIU Post.
• Entering the final week of the regular season, Hall's 87-yard rush against West Virginia Wesleyan still ranks as the longest in the PSAC.

 
Notes on the Offense

• Clarion ranks fourth in the PSAC and 10th in Super Region 1 with an average of 399.9 yards of total offense per game.
• The Golden Eagles' scoring offense ranks fourth in the PSAC and 12th in Super Region 1 in scoring offense at 31.3 points per game. They have eclipsed the 30-point mark in six of their 10 games this season.
• The passing game has been driving the bus: Clarion ranks eighth in Super Region 1 with an average of 242.1 passing yards per game. The Golden Eagles rank seventh in the region and are 23rd in Division II in yards per completion (14.67).

 
Don't Sleep on the Ground Game

• The Clarion run attack has been strong all year long but has taken steps over the second half of the season into becoming a greater focal point of the offense.
• Starting with the Golden Eagles' win over Gannon on Oct. 10, Clarion has rushed 178 times for 839 yards, a 4.71 yards per attempt average.
• In Week 7 at Seton Hill Tyreeck Hall recorded his second 100-yard rushing game of the season, carrying eight times for 102 yards and a score against the Griffins. He added a third last week, going off for 113 yards at IUP.
• On Oct. 31 against Slippery Rock, Jase Ferguson recorded his first 100-yard rushing game of the season with 104 yards against The Rock.
• Clarion rushers have logged 14 rushes of 20 or more yards this year, with five of those going for more than 50 yards.

 
Fast Defensive Start vs. IUP

• In the Golden Eagles' win over IUP in Week 10, the defense kept the Crimson Hawks off the scoreboard for the first 30 minutes, with IUP's only points coming on a defensive score of their own in the first quarter.
• Clarion limited the Crimson Hawks to 134 total years and eight first downs in the first half, as well as a paltry 3.94 yards per play average.
• The Golden Eagle defense forced the Crimson Hawks into eight third down attempts in the first half while the Clarion offense reached third down just four times.

 
Cut to the Jase Already

• Jase Ferguson ranks fourth in Super Region I and second in the PSAC in passing yards with an average of 236.8 yards per game.
• In another nod to Clarion's big play ability, Ferguson is first in the PSAC and sixth in the region in passing yards per completion at 14.71, a mark that ranks 16th in Division II. 
• Finally, Ferguson ranks third in Super Region 1 and 12th in Division II in total offense at 293.4 yards per game. He's fourth in the Region and 15th in the nation in points responsible for, with an average of 16.8 points per game.

 
Continuity Goes a Long Way

• Heading into the final game of the season, it appears as if the Golden Eagles' veteran offensive line is on pace to record a rare feat.
• Clarion has had the same starting five across the offensive line all season long - going left to right, Devin Webb, Romeo Valle, Josh Steele Jr., Ruric Douglas and Christian Flaherty.
• That quintet has led the Golden Eagles to being one of the most productive offenses in the PSAC, ranking in the top five in the conference in total offense, scoring offense and first downs.

 
Keeping It Clean

• Heading into the final game of the season, the Golden Eagles have been one of the best teams in the conference at not beating themselves with untimely penalties.
• Clarion ranks second in the PSAC in fewest penalties (61) and penalty yards per game (53.1).
• Of note, the Golden Eagle offense has recorded just 10 pre-snap penalties in as many games, and the defense is averaging just 1.4 penalties per game.

 
A Bit of History

• Clarion's win over IUP on Nov. 7 marked the Golden Eagles' first time winning against the Crimson Hawks, as well as their first time winning in Indiana, since Oct. 16, 2010.
• With the win, Clarion enters the final weekend of the year with a 5-5 record. One more win, and they will have clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1995-96, when they went 6-4 and 11-3 respectively.

 
Curry Goes Long

• In an offense full of players capable of going the distance, Tsirell Curry has been the team's best long ball threat in the passing game.
• Curry is tied for first in the PSAC with an average of 19.3 yards per reception, the best for any players with more than 20 receptions on the year.
• On the year, Curry has totaled 28 catches for 539 yards and six touchdowns.

 
Strange But True!

• On October 31 against Slippery Rock, Jase Ferguson connected with tight end Kooper Kamberis for a touchdown on the game's opening drive. In doing so, the Golden Eagles broke an odd streak.
• Kamberis's touchdown reception is the first for any Golden Eagle tight end in seven years. Jake Whitenight - himself a converted offensive lineman - pulled down three touchdown passes in 2019.
• Prior to that? In 2018 Maverick Kelsea caught a touchdown in a hybrid tight end / fullback role. The last player listed as a tight end to score a touchdown was Gage Clark, who had one score in 2016.

 
This One's Even Crazier

• Kooper Kamberis caught his second touchdown of the season and second in as many games in the win over IUP on Nov. 7.
• Clarion had not gotten touchdowns in back-to-back games from the tight end position since 2014, when Zach Deitrick caught one against Slippery Rock on Nov. 8 and Mike Deitrick followed with a score against Kutztown on Nov. 15.
• The Brothers Deitrick did the same earlier in the year, with Zach Deitrick pulling in a touchdown against Edinboro on Oct. 11 and Mike Deitrick catching one a week later against Seton Hill.
