Following the win against Alderson Broaddus, senior TE Ben Klaus was named the CSFL Co-Offensive Player of the Week. Klaus became the fifth different Quaker to garner CSFL weekly accolades this fall, joining teammates Andrew Paolini, Jake Inserra, Lewis Evans and Laquan McKever. The weekly award was the first in Klaus' career.

Playing For Keeps
The winner of Saturday evening's contest between Penn and Navy will capture the 2021 CSFL South Division title. The Quakers have the highest scoring offense in the CSFL, averaging more than 44 points per game and the Midshipmen have the top ranked scoring defense in the league, allowing five points per game.

Series History With Navy
Saturday night marks the 85th meeting between Penn and Navy. The Midshipmen have won 74 of those contests, but the two teams have split their last four meetings.   

Familiar Face, New Role
With the cancellation of the 2020 season, Head Coach Jerry McConnell earned his fist win at the helm of the program September 25 at Mansfield. McConnell has spent the previous 12 seasons on the staff serving as the offensive coordinator. Over his 12 years as a member of the coaching staff, the Quakers have had 112 offensive players receive All-CSFL selections with 40 of those players receiving first-team honors. Over McConnell's 12 years, Penn led the CSFL in total offense four times (2009, '13, '17, '19).
