Did You Know?

Chris Flood led all players in the Mountain East Conference last week in solo tackles with 14. He also led the MEC in total tackles with 17.
Freshman Carlton Griffith led the Cavaliers in rushing with 75 yards and a touchdown in his first collegiate game.
Jeremiah Cooke and Marcus Jones joined Chris Flood as players with double-digit tackles for UVa-Wise last week. Cooke tallied eight solo stops as part of his 10 tackle performance while Jones finished with six solo tackles and four assisted tackles in finishing with 10 tackles.
Saturday's game will be the only home game UVa-Wise will play in the month of September. Overall, the Cavs play three of the season's first four games away from Carl Smith Stadium.
Terrence Younger was quarterback Ty Ryans' favorite target in week one. Younger caught five passes for 85 yards, including a 46-yard reception.
In addition to his strong punting day, Trent Martin booted a pair of field goals at Urbana. Martin's second field goal was a 45-yard make that pulled UVa-Wise to within one point at 14-13 late in the second quarter.
UVa-Wise's inability to win the turnover once again proved to be costly. Urbana forced two turnovers in the season opener while UVa-Wise did not force turnover. The Cavaliers have now gone 16 games since the team last won the turnover battle in a contest. UVa-Wise last committed fewer turnovers than its opponent in a 35-21 win over Bluefield College in 2012.
