PREVIEWING PENN
*The Quakers aim to claim their seventh Robert L. Cullen championship trophy in program history in Friday night's inaugural title game. A win over Army West Point would be Penn's third CSFL title in the last eight seasons, third outright title and the first back-to-back championships in the program's storied history. Additionally, the Quakers would become just the third team in league history to be back-to-back champions.

*Penn has proven to be one of the league's top threats on both sides of the ball in 2017, ranking in the top three in scoring defense (2nd, 13.4 points per game), total defense (3rd, 237.0 yards per game), scoring offense (3rd, 36.1 points per game) and total offense (2nd, 374.3 yards per game).

*Despite missing last week's game against Mansfield, quarterback Eddie Jenkins continues to lead the CSFL in passing with 201.7 yards per game while accounting for 17 total touchdowns - 11 passing - in his first season as the starter. Jenkins has found consistent connections out wide with Aidan Kelly and Marcus Jones all season, as Kelly is currently second in the league among receivers with 70.2 yards per game, while Jones ranks seventh (44.0 yards per game) with a team-leading six touchdowns.

*In the ground game, Jake Klaus ranks second in the CSFL with 76.1 yards per game to go along with nine touchdowns, second only to Army West Point's Jake Gigliotti (10).

*Defensively, the Quakers are anchored by the trio of Matt Gorman, Tom Console and Quinn Karam, who will be relied upon to keep the top-rated Black Knight offense in check Friday night. Gorman's 60 tackles leads the Penn defense, while Console leads the team with three interceptions to go along with Karam's 34 stops and two forced fumbles.

*Army West Point boasts the league's top defense, allowing only 6.6 points and 154.9 yards per game entering Friday, while the offense has been similarly dominant, leading the CSFL in scoring (50.6 points per game) and total offense (388.1 yards per game).
