READ THIS WEEK's SCSU GAME NOTES:
A complete collection of interesting game notes, stats, rosters and records is available in the weekly SCSU Football Notebook

LAST WEEK:
SCSU fought back from a 34-12 deficit in the fourth quarter by scoring 15 points, but came up just short of the upset in a 34-27 loss to No. 25 Minnesota Duluth on the road. Junior quarterback Nate Meyer had career numbers across the board in completing 33 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns in the loss. Junior receiver Jameson Parsons hauled in eight passes for 163 yards and a score. Senior tight end Grant Thayer totaled six catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow senior tight end Brandon Richmond scored his first career touchdown with his 26-yard catch on fourth down. Senior running back Ledell White led the team in rushing with eight carries for 53 yards. Sophomore linebackers Brady Westart and Craig Szymanski each recorded eight stops for the defense.

TRENDING:
Jameson Parsons has topped 100 yards receiving in four straight games. The streak is the longest for an SCSU receiver since at least 1994 and maybe ever. Parsons currently leads the conference in receiving yards, 714, and yards per reception (20.4). His 714 receiving yards places him fourth nationally as well. He is fifth nationally with an average of 119 yards per contest. Despite being held out of the end zone for the first time this season and the first time in the last six games dating back to last season, sophomore running back Jaden Huff is still the NSIC leader in both touchdowns (9) and points this season (54). Nate Meyer's 424 yards passing against Minnesota Duluth is the third-highest single game total in school history. Meyer has thrown for 704 yards and seven touchdowns the last two weeks. SCSU is fifth nationally in third-down conversions at 56.5 percent (43-for-77). The team is also fifth in the nation in red zone offense (93.1).

NEXT WEEK:
The Huskies hit the road and travel to Chet Anderson Stadium to take on Bemidji State (3-3, 2-0 NSIC North) on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 1 p.m.

NEXT HOME GAME:
Following the contest against Bemidji State next week, the Huskies return home to host MSU Moorhead (3-3, 0-2 NSIC North) at Husky Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 1 p.m.
