The Matchup

- Fairmont State will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 20 when it hosts Glenville State in its 1 p.m. homecoming game at Duvall-Rosier Field.

- Fairmont State comes into the contest 5-2 overall and 4-2 and tied for second in the Mountain East Conference with both Shepherd and the University of Charleston.

- Glenville State is 3-4 overall and 3-3 in the MEC. The Pioneers will come to Fairmont with a two-game winning streak.

- Fairmont State leads the all-time series between the two schools 49-41-3. The Falcons currently own a four-game winning streak in the series, but all four of those victories have come by seven points or less.

- Sixth-year Fairmont State head coach Jason Woodman is 4-1 in homecoming games, including a current four-game winning streak in those contests.

- Fairmont State has won nine of its last 11 games dating back to last season. In addition, Fairmont State has suffered just nine losses in its last 38 games.

- During last season's win over Glenville State, senior placekicker Sam Keil tied a national record with six field-goals as Fairmont State knocked off the Pioneers 18-15 in overtime. The Falcons did not score a TD in the win.

- Fairmont State is coming off an impressive 38-17 win over Shepherd last Saturday at Ram Stadium.

- Fairmont became the first team to win a regular season game against Shepherd at Ram Stadium since Concord posted a 29-20 win over the Rams on Nov. 15, 2014.

- The 21-point setback was also the largest margin of defeat for Shepherd in a Mountain East Conference game. Since the MEC formed in 2013, Shepherd had lost just three league games by a total of a mere 12 points.

- The last time Shepherd lost a game by 20-or-more points was in 2015 when Northwest Missouri State defeated the Rams 34-7 in the NCAA Division II National Championship game. The last time Shepherd lost at home by 20 or more points was 28-7 to West Chester in the 2013 NCAA Division II Playoffs.

- The Falcons have performed very well in the defensive redzone, allowing opponents to score on just 68 percent of attempts – which ranks 25th in the country.
