Series Info …
Oberlin leads the all-time series against the Maroons 6-5-1 … Saturday marks the 13th meeting between the two schools, dating all the way back to 1893 … Oberlin's last win against the Maroons came all the way back in 1975, in a 52-7 romp … Last year the Yeomen entered the contest 1-3 and without the all-time leading rusher in school history, R.V. Carroll, as he was lost the week before due to a knee injury … The Yeomen jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on a Wayne Mundekis touchdown run late in the first quarter … The Maroons, however, made plenty of offensive and defensive adjustments, as the Yeomen were unable to score for the rest of the contest and could not hold the Maroons out of the end zone either, dropping the contest 33-7 … The Yeomen were held to just 167 yards of total offense, while Chicago gained 528 total yards … The Maroons had a very balanced attack as they threw for 284 yards and ran for another 244 … Chicago's defense also stifled the Oberlin offense as they were able to sack quarterback Greg Mangan five times.

Scouting the Maroons …
The University of Chicago is currently on a two game losing streak … After a dramatic overtime win in their season opener over Kenyon College, the Maroons dropped their next two to NCAC powerhouse Wabash College and Elmhurst College, respectively … Despite putting up 37 points in their season opener, the Maroon offense has struggled to find the end zone over their last two games being held to a total of 16 points over that time period … Their defense has also struggled to keep opposing offenses out of the end zone giving up an average of 38.3 points and 503.7 total yards of offense per game … The Maroons are lead offensively by sophomore running back Tommy Parks and junior quarterback Marshall Oium … Junior wideout Clay Wolff looks to be Parks' favorite target, leading all receivers with 23 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown … Freshman wideout Dee Brizzolara is the Maroons big play receiver having hauled in only nine balls for a total of 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a long of 50 yards … The defense is lead by two Sophomores, safety Danny Polaneczky and linebacker Cameron Grimes … Junior defensive end Justin Kaderabek looks to be a force off the edge as he leads Chicago with 5.5 tackles for a loss, including one sack through only three games already this season.

If You Like Offense, You Could Be in for a Treat …
Both defenses have been struggling to keep teams out of the end zone this season … The Maroons are currently giving up almost 40 points per game, while the Yeomen are giving up almost 30 points per game … The Oberlin offense has struggled to move the ball yet this season, however, this could be a breakout game that could boost the confidence of the entire offense.

Career Day Again? …
Junior quarterback Joey Zebelian had a career day against Ohio Wesleyan University last week as went 10-for-19 while throwing for 110 yards and a touchdown … With a statistically weak defense coming to town this weekend for a game which normally draws increased attendance, because of Homecoming, Zebelian could see an increase in both his numbers and his confidence yet again this weekend.

Tackling Tyler …
Junior safety Tyler Lewis has been the pillar of the Oberlin defense so far this season … Despite playing in just three games, he has still managed to make a team-leading 34 tackles, ranking him second in the NCAC with 11.3 stops per game.

Keep the Hanky in Your Pocket …
Despite a costly 15-yard late hit penalty during last weekend's game-winning drive for the Bishops, the Yeomen have been one of the most disciplined teams in the NCAC as they have been flagged just 22 times for 185 yards through the first four games of the season … The Yeomen's 46.5 penalty yards per game is second best in the NCAC, trailing just Denison with 40.5 penalty yards per game.

That Close …
The Yeomen lost in heartbreaking fashion last weekend at the hands of the Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan University … The, now 1-3, Bishops kicked an 18 yard field goal with 16 seconds left in the game to give them their first victory of the season … With the sour taste of the loss in their mouth, the Yeomen should come out hungry looking for the victory … The Yeomen could smell a victory last weekend but came up short yet again and will want a victory for the first time this season, especially in front of a ton of alumni and fans this weekend at Homecoming.
