• Sophomore quarterback Scott Knapp (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Perry Traditional Academy) finished the game 35-of-48 for 363 yards and three touchdowns ... the 35 pass completions were six more than the previous school record of 29 held by Niel Loebig (accomplished three times between 2002-04) ... Knapp's attempts were a new career high ... Knapp competed passes to 10 different receivers ... his scoring passes covered 11, 7 and 16 yards ... Knapp has thrown for 16 scores in six games
