AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL: The Yellow Jackets have now won 10 consecutive home games and is 16-2 at John Homer Miller Field since the start of the 2004 season. The Yellow Jackets scored each of their four touchdowns on the ground against Saint Anselm, marking the first time since the team's season-opening loss at Bryant that they didn't have at least one TD through the air.

He has completed a season record 162 passes in 303 attempts (second most to Chad Carges' 305 in 2000) for 2,122 yards to become the first Greyhound to pass for over 2,000 yards in a season. Humphrey also became the first with over 2,000 yards of total offense. Sophomore wide receiver David Canney has 846 receiving yards on the season, 9 yards shy of breaking the season record of 854 (John McKeon, 1976). He broke the season record for receptions with 58, passing teammate Jake Beers’s (Duxbury, Mass.) 51 receptions set last season. Sophomore middle linebacker Dustin Zitzmann (Pinellas Park, Fla.) joined the 200-tackle club, the first sophomore to reach that total in Hounds' history. With his 4-9--13 tackle performance versus C.W. Post, he now has 36-65-101 tackles. Zitzmann is now the first player with over 100 tackles in each of his first two seasons.
