ALL-TIME AGAINST BENTLEY

Saturday's matchup will be the 22^nd meeting between the Owls and Falcons, all-time, with Bentley hosting a 13-8 edge historically.
The Owls took a 24-22 loss in last season's matchup after winning back-to-back games against the Falcons in 2016 and 2017.

THE OWLS' LAST TIME OUT

Southern heads into this weekend after rolling to a 55-27 win against Franklin Pierce at home.
As a team, Southern's 55 points against Franklin Pierce are its most in a single game since a 61-0 win against Pace on Sept. 23, 2011.
Jonmichael Bivona led the Owls with three rushing touchdowns on a day when Southern featured nine different players rush the football. Bivona posted 77 yards on 15 carries with a career-best three touchdowns while Jordan Knight and Octovio Thomas also had a touchdown apiece.
Bivona's first quarter touchdown was the first of his career. He also becomes the first Owl since Eli Parks last season to rush for three touchdowns in a game.
Julian Chung accumulated 131 yards in the air on five catches, two of which went for touchdowns, while Izaiah Sanders had seven catches for 117 yards.
Chung's two touchdowns were his first points of the season. Following a break-out, and record-breaking, performance against American International last week, Chung has totaled 267 yards on 17 catches over his last two games.
Chung and Sanders become the first Owls' receivers to total 100-plus receiving yards in the same game since Andre Privott and Willie Epps did it against American International in a 48-47 win on Oct. 22, 2011. The last time two receivers did it at Jess Dow Field was Sept. 11, 2010 against West Liberty when Privott and Epps accomplished the feat.
Freshman quarterback Jackson Ostrowsky was 14-for-22 for 267 yards with two touchdown passes.
Ostrowsky is now 41-for-70 (58.5%) for 549 yards with four touchdowns in two starts under center to his collegiate career.
Defensively, senior captain Matthew Weiss was a mainstay in the Franklin Pierce backfield as he record two of the Owls' four sacks while also registering four addition QB hurries.
Weiss blocked a point-after attempt late in the game.
Charles Ritchel and Anton Juncaj both tallied seven tackles each while Vance Upham had a sack and an interception.
Kyle Armour also picked off a ball in the Owls' end zone to deny the Ravens of an early scoring opportunity.
Jaylynn Cundiff was the Owls' do-everything guy on the field, posting a 22-yard run, two catches for 39 yards while also returning two kicks for 43 yards to give him 104 all-purpose yards for the afternoon.
