A Look Back: Johns Hopkins jumped out to a 38-0 halftime lead and never looked back in a 54-14 win against Gettysburg last Friday night at Homewood Field.
Ursinus jumped out to a 31-3 halftime lead and held off Susquehanna, 31-24, for its first win of the season .

Poll Position: Johns Hopkins is ranked seventh in this week's AFCA Division III Poll and ninth in the D3football.com Poll. Ursinus is not ranked in either poll.

Oh Captain, My Captain: Johns Hopkins will be led this season by senior co-captains Jack Campbell, Jonathan Germano, Bradley Munday and Jack Toner.

State of Affairs: The 87-man Johns Hopkins football team includes players from 19 different states.

Record-Breaking Victory: Last week's 54-14 win against Gettysburg was the 34th consecutive Centennial Conference victory for Johns Hopkins. The 34 consecutive CC victories breaks the previous league record, which was originally set by then Western Maryland (now McDaniel) from 1997-2001.
Ironically, the 33-game run for the Green Terror was snapped with a stunning 21-14 loss to Johns Hopkins in the 2001 season finale. Western Maryland entered that game ranked ninth in the nation and that remains the highest ranked team ever beaten by Johns Hopkins.
There have been three winning streaks of 20 or more games in Centennial Conference games with Johns Hopkins boasting two of the three. Below is a look at the CC winning streaks of 20 or more games:

34- Johns Hopkins (Current)
33 - McDaniel (1997-2001)
20 - Johns Hopkins (2010-12)

34-Game Run Nation's Second Longest: Johns Hopkins' current 34-game conference winning streak is the second longest active league winning streak in all divisions of the NCAA. In fact, the 34-game run is one of just four current conference winning streaks of 20 or more games. Below is a look at the only four active conference winning streaks of 20 games or longer.

102 - Mount Union (Division III)
34 - Johns Hopkins (Division III)
24 - NW Missouri St. (Division II)
20 - Jacksonville St. (FCS)

Playing Through the Bye: Since the Centennial Conference went to the league-wide bye after the fifth game of the season in 2011, Johns Hopkins is 30-0 in games played before the bye. For the record, the bye week will come after the sixth game starting in 2017.

Road Warriors: Including the recent win at Dickinson, Johns Hopkins has won 18 consecutive regular season road games. The Blue Jays last dropped a game on the road in the regular season on November 3, 2012 at Franklin & Marshall.

More Road Warriors: Johns Hopkins has won eight straight road games dating back to the start of 2015 season. The eight-game road winning streak is third for the fourth-longest in school history and is tied for the second-longest active road winning streak in Division III.

Flipping to October: The calendar flipped to October for the Blue Jays' game against Juniata and the second month of the season has been kind to the Blue Jays of late. Including the wins against Juniata, Dickinson and Gettysburg, Johns Hopkins has won 22 consecutive games in the month of October dating back to a 26-17 loss at Ursinus on October 16, 2010.
Ironically, the Blue Jays were just 10-8 in their previous 18 games in the month of October before jump-starting the current 20-game run with a 49-24 win at Susquehanna on October 23, 2010.

More October: Johns Hopkins has not allowed more than 17 points in a game in October since topping Gettysburg, 49-35, on October 19, 2012.

Friday Night Lights: Last week's game against Gettysburg was the 54th Johns Hopkins has played on Friday night since 1982. Since then, and including the 54-14 win over the Bullets, the Blue Jays have compiled a 37-16-1 (.694) record in Friday night games, including a 33-11-1 (.744) mark under head coach Jim Margraff.

Offense Among Centennial's Best: Johns Hopkins enters this week's game against Ursinus averaging 42.3 points and 504.9 yards per game.
The Blue Jays rank first in the Centennial Conference in both categories and 12th in the nation in scoring offense and total offense.

More Offense: Johns Hopkins has ...
• Scored at least 28 points in a school-record 19 consecutive games dating back to the start of last season.
• Totaled 400 or more yards in a school-record 15 consecutive games dating back to last season.

A Final Offense: Johns Hopkins rolled up 500 yards in the season-opening victory against Washington & Lee, 555 at Susquehanna, 529 vs. Juniata, 512 at Dickinson and 526 vs. Gettysburg.
The 500-yard effort vs. W&L marked just the fourth time in school history that JHU has reached the 500-yard mark in a season-opener ... all four instances have come in the last five seasons.
For the record, the 526-yard effort vs. Gettysburg was also the 45th 500-yard game in school history - Johns Hopkins is now 44-1 all-time when totaling 500 or more yards of offense.

Quick Starts: Johns Hopkins has had 47 combined possessions in the first half of its seven games thus far. Of those 47, 24 have ended with touchdoawns and seven others with a field goal. In other words, Hopkins has scored on 66% of its first-half possessions this season (31-of-47). In the last three games (wins over Juniata, Dickinson and Gettysburg), JHU has had 21 first-half possesions and has 14 touchdowns and two field goals on those 21 (76.2% scoring).

Balancing Act: Johns Hopkins rang up 246 yards rushing and 283 yards passing to account for its 529-yard effort against Juniata, added 213 yards rushing and 299 yards passing at Dickinson and 206 yards rushing and 320 passing against Gettysburg. These marked the 50th, 51st and 52nd times in school history that JHU has topped 200 yards rushing and passing in the same game; 31 of the 52 have come since the start of the 2008 season and the Blue Jays are now 50-2 when going over 200 yards rushing and passing in one game.

More Balance: The 206-yard rushing/320-yard passing effort against Gettysburg marked just the eighth time in school history that Johns Hopkins has rushed for more than 200 yards and passed for more than 300 yards in one game. Seven of the eight have come since the start of the 2010 season and all eight have come under the direction of head coach Jim Margraff.

It's Been a While: Johns Hopkins produced a 300-yard passer (Jonathan Germano - 332), a 100-yard rusher (Ryan Cary - 100) and two 100-yard receivers (Brett Caggiano - 155, Bradley Munday - 103) in the win at Muhlenberg earlier this season. This marked the first time since October 4, 2008 that Johns Hopkins had turned this trick. That day, in a 28-23 loss to then fifth-ranked Muhlenberg, the Blue Jays got 387 yards passing from Hewitt Tomlin, 128 yards rushing from Andrew Kase and both Sam Wernick (205) and Tucker Michels (108) went over 100 yards receiving.

Germano Among Career Leaders: Senior Jonathan Germano fueled the win against Gettysburg as he was 20-of-26 for 242 yards and two touchdowns and rushed seven times for 25 yards and another score. On the year, he is now 152-of-235 for 1,796 yards with 14 touchdowns against nine interceptions. He has also rushed for 255 yards and four touchdowns.
With his recent efforts, Germano now ranks in the top 10 in school history in nearly every career passing category. Germano ranks third in TD passes (49), tied for third in 200-yard passing games (13), sixth in yards (4,826), seventh in completions (378) and eighth in attempts (562). He also ranks second in 300-yard passing games (5).
Germano tied the Johns Hopkins single-game record for attempts (53) in the win over Moravian, while his 34 completions that day rank third in school history.

Germano, Baker Fuel Seventh-Best Passing Game in School History: Senior Jonathan Germano and sophomore Zack Baker combined to go 31-of-43 for 393 yards with two touchdowns and two intercpetions in the win at Susquehanna. The 393-yard passing effort is the seventh-best team total in school history, while the 31 completions are tied for the seventh-best total. There have been just six 400-yard passing games in school history with the last coming at Juniata in 2013 (418).

Baker Sets School Record: Sophomore Zack Baker extended his streak of consecutive completions to a school-record 27 before misfiring on his first two attempts against Gettysburg. Baker, whose streak extended back to last season, is now 33-of-35 (.943) on the year for 304 yards with one touchdown; he has also rushed eight times for 36 yards and one touchdown.
The 27 consecutive completions fell two shy of the Division III national record. The record of 29 was set over a two-game span by Chris Edwards of Washington & Jefferson in 2005.

Cary Tops 1,000: Junior running back Ryan Cary became the 26th player in school history to reach 1,000 career rushing yards as his 102-yard effort against Gettysburg pushed his career total to 1,096. It was also Cary's fourth 100-yard game of the season.
Cary enters this week's game at Ursinus ranked third in the Centennial Conference in rushing yards per game (99.3), fourth in all-purpose yards per game (132.9), tied for first in overall touchdowns (13) and second in points per game (11.1).
Cary, who rushed for 100 yards and one touchdown in the big win at Muhlenberg, enjoyed the finest game of his career against Washington & Lee in the season opener as he rushed 20 times for a career-high 158 yards and three touchdowns and added three receptions for 69 yards and another score to roll up a personal-best 227 yards of total offense.
Cary's four overall touchdowns tied the Johns Hopkins single-game record, while his 158 yards are the second most in a season opener in school history.

200-100: Senior wide receiviers Bradley Munday and Quinn Donaldson rank among the all-time leading receivers in school history in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions.
Munday, who set a school record with 16 receptions against Moravian in September, ranks third in school history in receptions (232), tied for fourth in touchdown receptions (22) and fifth in receiving yards (2,631). Donaldson ranks 12th in receptions (118), 11th in receiving yards (1,844) and sixth in touchdown receptions (20). Munday and Donaldson are the first classmates in school history to top 100 career receptions.

Topping 4K: Seniors Bradley Munday (2,631) and Quinn Donaldson (1,844) topped 4,000 combined career receiving yards in the win at Muhlenberg and boosted their career combined total to 4,475 in the win against Gettysburg. The Johns Hopkins record for most combined receiving yards by two players in the same class is 4,797, a total that College Football Hall of Famer Bill Stromberg (3,776) and Jack Potthast (1,021) combined for from 1978-81.

Toner Now Second in Interceptions: Senior Jack Toner continued his climb on the all-time interceptions list at Johns Hopkins with two more at Dickinson. Toner's two picks against the Red Devils boost his career total to 16, which ties him with Matt Campbell (2001-04) for second place on Johns Hopkins' career INT list. In addition, his six interceptions this season match his total from a year ago and are just two shy of the JHU single-season record.

Seniors Leading Defense: A quick look at the Blue Jay defensive statistics shows five seniors at the top of the tackle chart. Jack Campbell (68), Garrett Spek (61), Dan Johnson (52), Jack Toner (36) and Pat Runger (33) are the only five players on the team with 33 or more tackles on the year.
Three of the next four players on the list - Keonte Henson (32), Michael Munday (30), and Lance Hammond (21) - are all juniors, while sophomore Michael Curry (19) and senior Kyle Bonci (18) join the list of 10 players on the team with 15 or more tackles on the year.

Sullivan Good From 50, Sharing PK Job With Campbell: Junior Jamie Sullivan hit a 50-yard field goal in the 29-21 win against Moravian. The kick is the third longest in school history and one of just six field goals of 50+ yards in Centennial Conference history.
Sullivan and senior Nick Campbell are sharing the place-kicking job and give the Blue Jays two experienced options here.
Sullivan hit two field goals against Moravian, three more in the 30-24 win at Muhlenberg and one each against Juniata, Dickinson and Gettysburg and is now 8-for-9 on the year on FGs and 24-for-25 on extra points. For his career, he is 17-for-21 on FGs and 90-for-93 on extra points. He is tied for fifth in school history in career field goals and fifth in career points by a kicker (141).
Campbell has hit 4-of-6 field goal attempts this seson and is 12-for-12 on extra points as well. In his career, he has hit 21-of-30 field goals and 129-of-133 extra points to rank fourth in school history in career field goals and third in career points by a kicker (192).

Sudden Impact: Freshman Dane Rogerson is quickly becoming a difference-maker for the Blue Jays and enjoyed the finest game of his career in the 45-10 win at Dickinson, when he rushed five times for 44 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown to open the scoring, and added three kickoff returns for 92 yards, including a long of 40 yards; his 136 all-purpose yards are a career high. He followed that with six rushes for 16 yards and one TD and two kickoff returns for 92 yards against Gettysburg; he had a career-long 63-yard KOR against the Bullets.
On the year, Rogerson has rushed 18 times for 111 yards (6.2/rush) and two touchdowns and has 12 kickoff returns for 343 yards (28.6/return). He ranks second in the Centennial Conference in kickoff return average.

JHU Ties Victory Record: Johns Hopkins tied the school record for wins in a season with its 11 last season. The Blue Jays first won 11 games in a season in 2014 after winning 10 in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Centennial Conference Champions: Johns Hopkins claimed its record 11th Centennial Conference title last season with all 11 championships coming since 2002. JHU's 11 CC titles are two more than Dickinson and Muhlenberg have accumulated. Even more impressive? Hopkins was the last team in the league to win its first title (2002), but the first to get to 10 championships.

One of Four: Including this week's poll, Johns Hopkins is one of just four teams in the nation to be ranked in the top 20 by the AFCA every week since the start of the 2012 season. The others are Mount Union, Mary Hardin-Baylor and Linfield.

Margraff Holds State Record: Johns Hopkins head coach Jim Margraff became the winningest college football coach in Maryland state history with a 42-14 win at Ursinus late in the 2014 season as that gave him 175 career victories, a mark he upped to 196 with last week's win over Gettysburg. Margraff now sports a career record of 196-84-3 (.698) entering this week's game against Ursinus.

On a Roll: Johns Hopkins is 60-1 in its last 61 regular season games dating back to late in the 2010 season. The only team to top the Blue Jays duirng that run? Franklin & Marshall, which topped the Blue Jays, 14-12, in 2012.

On A Roll, Part II: Johns Hopkins is 64-6 in its last 70 games overall since late in the 2010 season.

Sustained Success: Since the start of the 2002 season the Blue Jays sport a 130-34 (.793) record. Taking it back farther, the Blue Jays are 136-37 (.786) since the start of the 2001 season and 141-42 (.770) since the beginning of the 2000 season.
