Series History
Penn leads 3-2 | Last meeting: 42-7 win in 2017
 
After joining the Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) in 2013, Post was a thorn in Penn's side. The Eagles defeated the Quakers in their first two years of existence but have struggled since. In three games from 2015-17, Penn has three victories over Post with a combined score of 117-37.
 
Easy Like Eddie
Eddie Jenkins is closing out his sprint football career with a senior season to remember. Penn's quarterback has ten touchdowns this season—four passing and six rushing. Through two games, Jenkins has already surpassed his nine total touchdowns in 2018 and is well on his way to surpassing his career high of 17 total touchdowns.
 
Leading the Charge
Penn's big victory over Cornell springboarded the Quakers to the top of the CSFL leaderboards. Penn has the best scoring offense with 41.0 points per game and leads in total offense with 458.5 yards per game.
 
Moving the Chains
Penn's offense leads the CSFL with 41 total first downs. The Quakers rank third in the CSFL converting 33.3% of third-down plays and 50% on fourth down.
 
Big-Time Defense
On the other side of the ball, the Quakers have not allowed a fourth-down conversion this season with opponents turning it over on downs on each of the three attempts. Additionally, Penn's +3 turnover margin ranks third in the league. The Quakers forced four turnovers against Cornell and two against Army.
 
Filling Big Shoes
Penn lost three-time first-team All-CSFL running back Jake Klaus to graduation, but Laquan McKever has stepped in as the Quakers' starting running back and run circles around opponents. Through two games, McKever leads the Quakers in rushing with 258 yards on 46 rushes. His 129.0 yards per game ranks second in the league.
