TIGER CLAWZ

• The Tigers dominated in the second half against the Bulldogs on their way to a 52-14 win over Union behind a four touchdown performance from quarterback Talaileva Sufia, all in the third quarter of the game.
• The Fire of Southeastern will be heading into the game at 2-0 so far on the season with a current NAIA ranking of 17th after starting the season 19th in the preseason poll.
• Saturday's game was originally scheduled for Sept. 7 as CU's second game of the year and Southeastern's first game of the year but Hurrican Dorian's threat to the Florida coast forced the hand of both programs as they decided to move this game to Sept. 28.
• Coming into Saturday's game, the Tigers have passed for the same amount of yards as they allow in the air on defense at 583, which averages out to 194.3 yards per game. CU has completed 14 more passes in only one more attempt on the season so the Tigers yars per complete is 11.9 compared to their opponents averaging 16.7 yards per completion.
• Campbellsville has struggled in two specific areas, one on each side of the ball, so far in 2019 in forcing turnovers on defense and third down conversions on offense. Going into Week 4, the Tigers have only forced one turnover and their third down percentage is at 9-for-37 (24%) even after going 7-for-14 (50%)  against Union last Saturday.
• With their win on Saturday, the Tigers become the second-to-last team in the Mid-South Conference Bluegrass Division to earn their first win of the 2019 season. Georgetown College is still winless on the year at 0-2 and the only other team with one loss in the division is newly added Thomas More University.
• Southeastern will be the third NAIA ranked opponent that the Tigers will play within their first four games of the season. In the current rankings, CU will have three more games remaining against ranked foes.

SCOUTING SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY

• Through their first two games played this season, the Fire are one of the top teams in the Mid-South Conference and the NAIA with a 54-15 win most recently against Georgetown and their season-opening win against Point 27-6.
• Coming in averaging over 40 points per game and allowing only 10.5 points per game, SEU has shown to be a balanced team on both sides of the ball, gaining over 400 yards of total offense per game and allowing 262.5 yards per game.
• At quarterback, Cooper Jones has gotten off to a hot start, completing 50-percent of his passes (25-50) for 442 yards, four touchdowns and only a single interception.
• Defensively, the Fire have a tandem of defensive backs who have made their presence felt early on as Tyrail Davis and Chris Thompson each have two interceptions and six pass break-ups.

• That player of the week honor was the second of Moore's CU career, the first for a CU player this season, and the first conference honor for a Tiger football player since Noah Bicksler earned Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 1, 2018.
