Pridget picked off two passes in the first half and one in the fourth and was also named to the D3football.com Team of the Week for his efforts... The Opponent: Bridgewater is 2-0 on the year after dispatching both Gettysburg, 41-10, and Stevenson, 37-22, in the opening two weeks of the season. Leading the @BCAthletics: Quarterback Jay Scroggins is 30-of-48 for 423 yards and five touchdowns against zero interceptions in two starts. On the ground, Demetreus Jalepes has 192 yards rushing on 38 attempts with Jarrod Denham adding 113 yards on just three carries. #ODACPoll: Pre-season No. 24 Randolph-Macon is the pick to win it all in 2019 with Bridgewater second and Hampden-Sydney third. Shenandoah was picked seventh in the nine-team poll. #SeriesNotes: This is the 22nd lifetime meeting between Shenandoah and Bridgewater in football and the series dates back to the 1932 season when Shenandoah was located just four miles from Bridgewater in Dayton, Virginia. The Eagles are the only team that SU has faced in every season since restarting football in 2000. #LongLiveTheFakeStuff...: Today’s game is one of just two this season on real grass. The remaining games this season (five of which are at home) with the exception of Hampden-Sydney in week seven are all on artificial turf. H-SC is the lone ODAC school that still plays its home games on natural grass. #FunFacts: With the addition of the white, alternate helmet, Shenandoah University now has 24 different uniform combos that can be worn. The squad has blue, white and red jerseys along with blue, white, red and gray pants as well as the navy and white helmets. The white helmets debuted in 2014 versus Bridgewater on October 4, were worn four times that season, three times in 2015 and twice in 2016, three times in 2017 and twice in 2018... Today’s game is the first since the 2014 season finale at Washington & Lee that Hayden Bauserman has not been the Hornets starting quarterback. The starting QB that day? Drew Ferguson... Ben Rhodenheizer (7) and Ben Agostino (12) are locked in a tight battle for the No. 1 quarterback spot and if Agostino draws a start this year, he will be the first quarterback in program history to start a game wearing No. 12. SU now has had starting quarterbacks to wear No. 2 (Vern Lunsford), 3 (Lunsford, Justin Neff), 4 (Josh Copp, Wayne Hogwood), 6 (JJ Brown), 7 (Twaun Rhodes, Ben Rhodenheizer), 8 (Hayden Bauser- man, Richard Glick), 10 (Jon Hoffman), 11 (Daniel Wright) 13 (Shawn Lloyd), 14 (Hogwood, Blake Derby, Drew Ferguson), 15 (Corey Taylor) and 18 (Phil Gardner).... The Washington & Lee win in 2018 was earned in the red, alternate jerseys and was just the fourth time that SU has not worn its white uniform in an away game... SU is 4-0 in those contests... The Hornets wore blue at Greensboro in 2008, red at Gallaudet in 2014 and red at NC Wesleyan in 2015... That GU contest was also the fourth in program history to not be played on a Saturday and was the first time that the Hornets have won a non-Saturday game... SU has also played on Thursday and Friday in addition to the traditional Saturday contest dates... #SomeOldSomeNew: With the same offensive coaching staff in place, the Hornets primary offensive set is unchanged from the last few seasons. The offense are running from an I-spread with three- and four-receiver sets common in its arsenal. Defensively, the squad stays with the multiple front look that features an aggressive front seven. #Gotcha: The willingness to take chances on special teams has become a hallmark of the Hornets program. In the six seasons of head coach Scott Yoder’s tenure, SU has shown fakes in the punt and field goal formations a minimum of four times a year. #Winning: A win today would be the 31st of Yoder’s head coaching career (putting back at .500), his 16th road victory and the pro- gram’s sixth versus Bridgewater. @odacathletics Report: The week 2 report can be found here: https://www.odaconline.com/sports/fball/2019-20/releases/091519- fball-report-week02 SU Two-Deep Injury Report: No significant injuries #ALookAhead: Shenandoah takes to the road next week for a 1 p.m. ODAC contest at Guilford.
